BURLINGTON MUST
HOOvER|zE ON ICE
OnlysAbout 1000 Tons In Sight
For Domestic Use Until the
Next Harvest and Shrinkage
t will Be at Least One Third
Not Enough to Go Round

The city Of Burlington will be compelled
to Hooverise on ice as II never did before
II II is to avoid suffering during the hot
months. The Standard Coal & Ice Co.
which has practically all the ice which
will be offered for sale to the homes In
Burlington. is not looking for orders but
is trying to help out during a season the
like OF which has not occurred before In
the 100 years Of known history.
Some OF the ice which will be used in
Burlington homes next summer came
from as far as North Underhill, where $50
tons were secured, and 1000 tons were
taken from the further side of the dam
1t Essex Junction. Every bit of the ice
which will be offered for domestic pur-
poses rode many miles before 1t was push
ed into the ice house.
To come down to the cold facts and to
find out just what people wiu be expected
to do by way of conserving ice, the har-
vest from Malletts bay this year will
reach about 5000 tons Then there are
the thousand from Essex and the $50
tons from North Underhill. That Is all
that Burlington has IN the way of good ice
and the shrinkage is at least one-third.
Furthermore there Is no chance of secur-
ing ice from any part Of the country about

Of the ice up there had been shipped 1000
miles to Cleveland, Ohio. In the Upper
Lake region, where ice Ia an unfalling
product as a rule, the summer hotels are
the only people supplied.
The ice which was secured above the
dam at Essex Is stored In an Ice house
and will be good to use as will the Ice at
Malletts bay. The cold storage Ice has
been largely gathered in the Winooski
river and through this means most Of the
cold storage plants will be filed. One of
the principal sufferers viii be, however.

cap. As an instance Of the way in which
ice was taken from Malietts bay toward
the last of the harvest, It may be said tina,
men hoated the cakes to the shore by
means Of fiat buttomed boats and on the
last day, with a full crew working, only
three carloads ware shipped to this city.
