MAY ERECT AN
ICE PLANT HERE
E. J. Dorsey Figuring on 1t
Because Of Scarcity of
Product This Season.
EXPECT LARGE DEMAND

e. ]. Dorsey & Son, coal and ice
merchants, expect to erect an Ice
manufacturing plant on their prop
erty in Miller street. One of the
firm said this morning that they had
secured estimates, from a Milwaukee
concern for plant that would turn
out about fifty tons day, and II the
cost of manufacturing does not run
too high, they will In all probability
install 1t.
The firm has secured rates from
the water department to supply them
with water which Will be distilled
before being converted into ice. The
firm, last summer, sold about eighty
tons of ice per day and 100 tons on
Saturdays, but this year they expect
to have larger demand for the pro-
duct, as there has been very little
ice cut In this vicinity during the
winter
A number of the firms customers
every year cut their own ice and
have looked 10 Dorsey & Son to sup
ply them during the latter part of
the summer. AS none of them has
any ice this year, the firm expects to
supply them all summer instead OF
only part of 1t as formerly. This
is one of the reasons why the firm
expects to manufacture ice. 1t will
be sold as fast as it is made, al
though a member of the firm said
this m forming that they will fill their
houses, nevertheless, with the usual
supply of the natural product. The
firm has been notified by five ship
pers, who have always served them
in the past, that they can deliver the
same amounts this year in spite of
the scarcity.

An exciting runaway occurred
yesterday afternoon, when a horse
attached to delivery wagon ran
down the hill on Amboy avenues

The driver was in a nearby house,

animal and It dashed on at mad
pace down the steep hill with the
wagon swaying from one side of the
road to the other. Going down the
hill the maddened animal increased
its speed until II was Impossible I'd

avenue, then east on New Brunswick

The animal slackened its pace n
ter crossing the tracks and was
stopped near Oak street and New
Brunswick avenue by Hans Hald.
The damage to the rig was slight.
Some of the contents or the wagon
were spilled ana parts OF the har-
ness were broken. The horse Just
escaped striking another rig AZ
Washington street. 1t happened
when children were returning from
school and there were narrow es-
capes galore.
This is the second time within .
few months that this horse has run

incidentally the state would have
a bookkeeper's balance of more than
$2,000,000, and the earning power
of that money for seven months,
while municipalities would suffer
correspondingly.
AS an example of the effect of
the bill, railroad taxes collected in
1908 on valuations of 1907 would
not be due counties until June 10,
1909. The state has formed the
habit of clinging to this money
without warrant.
The proposed law would give war
