Situation in Case OF breaking

Ice famine again stretched
threatening arm towards Tulsa yes
terday when part OF the equip
ment at one Of the local plants was
temporarily disabled. Until yester-
dav the situation had been continu-
ally improving under the guidance
of DR.. j. B. Gilbert, constituted ice

ing to their demands during the
last week or so.
situation Still Unsteady.
The situation is still so unsteady
however, that the temporary stop
page of part of ehe supply eyester-
day caused extreme concern Tor
those in charge Of the situation.
Telephone communication was i'm
medlately established with surround
ing cities in Missouri and oklahoma.
None of these cities was able to
promise any relief in tn form OF
steady fee shipments.
In the meantime, 900 tons of ice
have been laid aside as a reserve.
This reserve probably would supply
the city for two days In an emer-
gency, so there is no fear Of COM
plete stoppage at any time.
Drastic Measures Needed.
Feeling al the city hall is to the
effect that some drastic methods
should be employed to put the ice
situation on a firmer basis. DR..
Gilbert has been forced to hold down
the supply to dairies and other large
! consumers. Diaries were yesterday
given ice only on written request
from DIR. Gilbert.
Mayor Charles II. Hubbard said
last night that the board of commits
sioners expect to review the problem
thoroughly at the next meeting
Tuesday morning. Dr. Gilbert left
last evening for Oklahoma City. and
1t is thought that his visit is for the
purpose of comforting with the state
food administration regarding the
local conditions.
