Pure Ice Demanded
AS the different ice companies of Es-
canada are npreparing to harvest their
annual crop of ice, it is urged that
before preliminary work is begun the
| health officials of the city should take
action to instruct them as to the pro-
per distance from the shore that the
! ice should be taken. Without ques-
ton the ice along the north shore Is
impure and unfit for use because Of
the sewage dumped into the bay at
that point. 1t is argued that all
should be taken at least half mile
from the shore to insure it's purity and
II is urged the health officials should
act at once to insure a pure supply
| for next season. 1t Is contended
that the benefits derived from the
Uttered water now being furnished
will be completely offset unless the
ice supply is equally as pure.

was of the opinion that other public
improvements were badly needed in
| their respective wards. Alderman Mo-
her of the First said that ii was
very important that repairs be made
to the booths and other surroundings

place on Fourth street. Alderman La

be and Alderman McEvoy thought that

the polling place i'm the Fourth ward
should be attended to as well. The
consequences of this rather lengthy
and at times warm discussion was
ended by referring the matter of re-
decorating the council chamber To the
