The danger of an ice famine in Low
ell, Mass, LAS grown to such an alarm
ing extent that ice dealers in that city
have been securing Vermont this week
for ice enough to relieve the situation.
j. NJ Ward & Sons have contracted to
furnish the city several carloads and
shipments ON the contract were started
yesterday. More than enough ice for
local patrons was harvested last season
and early in the fall it become apparent
that the harvest would outlast the de-
mand. The Lowell dealers were unable
to find any other cities in Vermont
where the dealers felt like sparing the
product in any quantity. Meanwhile ice
on the ponds at South Barre, where most
OF Barres supply is secured, is making
rapidly, and Ward & Sons expect to |
have their harvesting apparatus in OPP
Grafton soon after New Years. The ice |
has already attained thickness of five |
inches on the pond.
