ADOPT cITY's ICE BABY.
DeIase & Girouard Become Its Foster
 Parents. g

The dear little city ice baby that has been crying for someone to take me- has been adopted by Diodore- De- The Willimantic ice infant has lost weight and the nurses say the social istic child now weighs less than 1000 tons. The purchasers have filed a $500 bond to bring up the baby in the straight and narrow path of munich pal virtue according to the code of municipal morals. Delage & Girouard agree to pay $200 a ton for the ice and retail 1t at 40 cents a hundred and to sell to the city and St. Josephs hospital at 25 per cent discount The sale is to be confined to the custom CTS within the city limits and to the operatives of The American Thread company and they expect to begin the distribution about July l. This leaves the balance of the Aver ice stock purchased by Willard Smith and the city ice to supply this city of 12s009 population for limited time. An em- barrassing situation for Mayor Dunn is the fact that Willard Smith went into the ice business believing he (Smith) would have no competition, MT. Smith stating he was given as- surances by the city's chief executive to that effect, but as the mayor says, with the understanding that MT. Smith should retail ice to families at 40 cents per hundred pounds. After the Aver ice and city ice are sold interest cen- ters in where the next frozen water for Willimantic will be secured.
