CREM0 BREWERY NOT
To REOPEN AT ONCE
Manager is Planning to Con-
vert Plant Into Ice
Factory.

Asked this morning if he would
resume brewing beer at the plant of
the Cremo Brewing company in this
city, William Ritter, manager of the
plant, stated that he would wait for
a little while at least and be certa in
of any step he might take. He did
not know whether. it was definitely
decided to start brewing beer right
away or wait until after the question
had been passed upon by legal auth
critics. The Connecticut State Brew
crs' association, at & m Getting in New
Haven yesterday, voted for immedi-
te reSum ptiOn Of brewing.
The brewers all over the country
are reported to be in favor Of starting
their breWeries again and brewing
, 3-4 per cent. alcohol beer rather
than the one-half Of one per cent.
beer allowed by law. The proposed
action was to start brewing again and
then, if stopped to bring the case
before the courts to be decided upon.
In speaking of the possible resump-
ton of brewing in this city, Mr.. Rit-
ter said he had other plans and that
was why he would wait for the def
mite decision Of the brewers. His
other plans included manufacturing
ice to supply the city. He has an
artificial ice manufa cturing plant
which has not been operated in year
and a half. He had decided, how
ever, because of the shortage of ice
this winter to start the plant and
make ice. He feels certain that there
will be a big demand for ice this
summer and that an ice manufacture
ing business would be successful. He
expects an expert on ice making ma
chinery to arrive from New York any
day to look over the machinery in the
local plant and decide whether it is
adequate to accommodate a large
business.
