HOLYOKE ICE MAN
LOWERS HIS PRICE
AS Result of Conference With Mayor
and Aldermen He Makes
Concessions

HOLYOKE, Mass, May 1O.-A de-
cided cut has been secured in the ice
prices by Mayor John J. White and
the special aldermanic committee as
the result of the recent agitation. Will
liam I. Wilson of the City Ice com
pany, the largest retailer of ice in
Holyoke, made the announcement to
the mayor and aldermen yesterday af
ternOOn at the conference in the City
hall that hereafter his company will
give at least Is pounds of ice at the
cart for > cents; 30 pounds of ice at
the cart for 10 cents; from % to 25
pounds, delivered, for 10 cents. In
addition the drivers of the several ice
carts will be instructed to put the D.
centpieces of ice in pail dropped by
pulley from the upper stories, provided
the coin is sent down in the pail.
The concession was obtained by
Mayor White after an hour 5 confer
ence in which the situation was tho
roughly reviewed. 1t was brought out
during the discussion that the City lee
company possesses hardly enough ice
in stock supply the entire city during
the summer alone, but this report was
supplemented with the statement that
the Holyoke lee company will hold its
present supply of ice at Ashley ponds
storehouses until May "a for the Hol-
yoke trade and after that time the
stock will be sold without reserve to
the buyers presenting themselves,
whether i'll or out of Holyoke.
In accepting the concession of the
| City Ice company which the municipal
| investigators thinks will influence the
other retailers in the ice trade to adopt
a more reasonable price schedule, May
| or White announced that for the next
month or two close watch viii be kept
of the drivers by city officials assigned
for the work, to the end that there
maybe no material variation from the
conditions agreed to yesterday. The
man authorized to watch the ice carts
will tour the city and weigh pieces OF
! ice being delivered by drivers to sec
that the weight agrees with tha
amount the purchaser wants.
! Mr.. Wilson agreed to this. Il will
not guarantee the accuracy, nor even
the honesty of all our drivers
said Mr. Wilson, "and the plan of the
mayor meets with my cordial approx

EXPECTS ORDERS TO
START WORK SOON
Frederick HoIbrook Knows of No Rea
son Why Railroad improvements
Should Be Delayed.

A report to the effect that the Hol-
brook, Cabot a Rollins corporation do
not expect to begin operations this
year on the contemplated changes and
improvements in and around the
railroad yard and on Vernon street
and Bridge street has not the slightest
foundation in fact.
When asked concerning the report,
Frederick Holbrook. head of the cor
poration, said to The Reformer over
the telephone this afternoon:
- expect to receive orders to start
the work within a very short time
Understand / 10 not say positively
that we shall start the work soon, but
| know of no reason why we shall not.
We have the contract, but the work
has been held up pending the adjust
ment of certain matters. One of them
was the contract between the town
and the railroads, which has Just been
signed, and another was the height OF
the overpass at Bridge street.
eff the public service commission
comes here the 22d it probably will
not take them long to decide as to the
height of the overpass, and we ought
to get an order to start the work right
away after that

Physicians have been unable to de
termine the cause of the epidemic
Members of the state board of health
who have made an investigation dis
credit reports that milk from a farm
near Canton contained germs and was
responsible for the disease. Twelve

KILLED BY FIRE TRUCK.
Frank Donneuy, 65, Walked in the
Path of Machine.

BURLINGTON, May 10. - Frank
DonnolIy, aged G5, was instantly kill
ed on North avenue yesterday after
noon by the automobile truck from
fire station /, which was on its way to
a fire on the Hathaway farm.
As the truck, driven by Allen Lang
lois, with FIVE men aboard, rushed up
the grade toward the Little Station,
Donnelly, who was partially deaf,
blind in one eye and possessed of only
partial use of the other, was seen walk
ing northward on the electric car
track.
With both siren and gong the fire
men were giving warning of their APP
proach. Donnelly turned, crossed the
road TO the west side, and supposing
him out of the way, the driver con
tinucd. Then Donney walked back
into the middle of the road, stepped
backward a few PAGES and finally, with
his hands held up, walked into the
path of the car.
The driver turned first one way, then
the other in the effort to avoid the
man, and when Donnelly's cratic
movements were seen the chauffeur
applied the emergency brakes. 1t was
impossible, however, to stop, and the
fender struck Donnelly in the side. The
car came to stop one length and a
half beyond the man, who was found
to be dead. The force of the blow
bent the fender.
The dead man completed last Sun
day a record of 46 years of unbroker
