The price of ice in this city to con-
sumers will be the same as that of
last year, so cents hundred pounds
Ice dealers and manufacturers, at
meeting last night in City Hall, agreed
acknowledged shortage due to the
mild winter.
A resolution to this effect was pre-
pared and introduced by Wesley M.
Oler, president of the Knickerbocker
Ice Company The wholesale price,
according to the resolution, will not
exceed $3.50 ton in the central part
of the city and Sc in outlying sections.
Last years wholesale price, fixed by
the government, was S4.40 a ton.
The ice harvesters agreed not to
bring in their natural ice supply of
.O0OO0 tons, which is 100000 tons
short of the normal amount, until the
midsummer season. unless compelled
to do so by hot weather in June. Mr..
Oler SAID that on Wednesday his com
pany was compelled to draw on the
surplus of manufactured ice. The sur
plus will be consumed by Monday, he
said, if the present hot weather con-
tinues.
The manufacturers agreed to levy
ten cents on themselves, to be paid
into a pool for each ton of ice sold
over their bridges. The money of this
pool, according to the agreement, will
be paid to reinmurse natural ice deal
ers who are forced to obtain their ice
supply in Maine and other distant
localities.

by the statement that there is a short
age of two million tons this year,
Frederick Cormack, of the Yorkville
Natural Ice Company, declared. Mr..

surgents, all of them natural ice deal
ers.

a ton-and that the companies could if
they were so inclined. The actual ice
shortage in this city is $50 900 tons,
he said.

prevailing price of $40 as "the
juiciest for the ice business in a de-
cade."
John T.. Divine, of the Reilly Ice
Company provided another inharmoni-
Gus note, when he charged chat he was
unable to purchase ice in this city be-
cause he sold it from thirty to forty
cents a ton below the price asked by
