The walls are completed about two-thirds of the way up, but the roof ing is vet to be put on.
 Fifty Cakes Miaute.
 The long side of the houses is par alleI with the river and a long runway, with switch for each house, is located on the north side of the sheds. Tho ice Is carried up to the rtinway by machinery which is, capable Of hand ling about 50 cakes minute, although the average so far has not been over 20 cakes. There are four runways or slides allowing for the storage of the ice at different levels.
 The shed erected by the city last winter, to the north of the other houses, will be connected by a run,- way with the long side to the other sheds by this morning, and all five houses can then be filled at the same time This will facilitate the storage, as with a few more men it is as easy to load five houses as four, for the rum ways are not blocked up so ;often.
 Nearly 50 Men EmpIoysd.
 Between 40 and 50 men have been employed, and two horses used, in the work of cutting and storing the ice thus far, and despite the warm wea ther the work has gone on as we'll as could be expected There was 14 inch ice

Willimantic, Danielson and Putnam

last Monday, and only two inches had been lost off what is being cut Friday, as the ice put into the sheds on that day was said by Superintendent Moul- ton to have a thickness of a foot. Mr. MouIton estimates that in the neigh borhood of 2,o09 tons were housed friday night or about one-ffth of the capacity of the plant.
 Hops for Colder Weather.
 More cold weather, which it seems reasonable to expect at this time Of the year. will mean that the sheds will be filled rapidly. and the city will have at it's disposal enough ice to in- sure low rates for that commodity in the coming hot weather.
 Last Years Experience.
 The experiment. of municipal ice in Wiilinnantic was started last winter. when the city expended $1,7f392 in the construction of a shed, the work of filling it. insurance, etc. This amount covered all of the expense of the plant, and the return to the city was slightly under sf,00O, which those in favor of municipal ice considered a very fair return on the investment. The ice was peddled out to customers at the rate of 30 cents hundred. The peddling was done by the firm of Delage & Girouard. who contracted for all the city's ice.
 So firmly was Mayor Daniel P. Dunn, the father of municipal ice in Wulimantic, convinced of the wisdom of ths scheme that the idea of build- ing more sheds and going into. the business was put before city meeting son Aug. 26, 1913. the necessary amend ment having been obtained from the legislature at 8 previous session, and the amount of $S.000 was appropriated for the purpose.
 F. On account of talk that the meeting was packed, and in order to give every one q chance to vote on so important a measure. 9 special city meeting was held Sept. 20. 1913. and the citizens up- held the scheme by a vote of !722- to zG3, in spite of much opposition at the time.
 Amount Appropriated.
 The council then appropriated, or authorized the expenditure Of the necessary amount, and on Dec. 8, 1913 the contract for building the sheds was given to the firm of Doyle & Mur- phy, after bids had been called for for the work. Since that tinae the work has progressed as rapidly as possible
Norwich bulletin., 1914-01-31

though incidental delays have devalep- ed as time went on.
 Pro and Con.
 There Is still talk in the city that the investment will be a losing propo- sftf0n. but on the other hand it is pointed out that the mere fact of that amount of ice on hand will reduce prices so that the benefit will be more than the loss even should the city let the ice melt where it is. At any rate, all seem to agree that ice will be cheaper than it has been for some time in this city next summer, and it is certain that if the experiment. is. a success a great share of the credit should go to Mayor Dunn, who has upheld the idea from the start.
 James Haggerty Deputy Sheriff.
