ICE IN THE TROPICS.

known Few Years Ago.
New York SUM
Ice, which few years ago was
practically unknown to the people of
tropical America, is now necessity.
Panama started the ball a-rolling by
building ice plants.
Until recently there were no ice
plants in the Puerto Plata consular
district which comprises the northern
half of the Dominican republic. Now
every town Of $500 inhabitants or
more has it's ice plant.
Santiago de los Caballeros, with
10000 inhabitants, the largest town in
this region, has a lotion plant which
sells ice at 81 per hundred pounds at
the factory and rs cents additional de-
livered The other towns, which range
in population from $500 to 1900, have
ice plants of from one to three tons
capacity. The prices of ice at these
plants vary from 50 to 81 per hundred
pounds and about 10 per cent add-
tional if delivered.
The principal consumers of ice are
the cafes, clubs and hotels, but there
is beginning to be small demand for
ice from private families. In view Of
the high price Of ice and the growing
prosperity of the country it is suggest
ed that 1t might be possible to induce
some of the largest clubs, cafes and
hotels to install their own plants and
refrigerators.

We have no doubt that the hardship

forbidding these companies to show
the actual value Of their properties as
of January /, 1914, would fall equally
upon any company whose organizers
have seen fit to capitalize it at fig
ure which they thought was conserva-
tive or low and which in fact has
proved to be much less than the actual
value of the properties acquired by the

sympathizes with its master in his
