FIFTH WARD IS
WITHOUT ICE
Charges Made by Residents on
Hottest Days of the
Season
eu special corrosponaers

BIZ Special CORRESPONDENT.
TOTTENVILLE, July Residents
of the fifth ward of the borough Of
Richmond, dependents of the Dorsey
Decker Ice Company for ice, were up
in arms yesterday and Saturday be-
cause of their inability to secure any
ice on the hottest day this season SO
far. Nearly the Sentire upper section
of Tottenville and other sections of
the fifth ward were left without my
ice on Saturday and none could be
gotten at the ice plant.
Charges have been made that the
Castle Ice Cream Company, of which
William S. Weed is manager n who
is also one of the owners of the ice
plant here, was supplied with, ice on
Saturday because of a break at the
Castle plant, which caused the short
age here. Everybody was clamoring
for ice Saturday afternoon and night
and all day yesterday people could be
seen going to the ice plant in Ellis
avenue in an effort to secur enough
to keep what food they had in the
house over Sunday from spelling, but
without results.
Floyd Decker, one of the owners of
the Ice plant, when seen at the place
yesterday morning denied that the
Castle company had received any ice
on Saturday and said hat the only
time they were given ice was when
they had an over supply here.
When asked if there was a possible
chance of getting any ice yesterday
he said there was not a pound of ice
to be had. He explained that the
extreme hot weather had tested the
plant inc to make matters worse
something went wrong with the en-
CINE at the plant, putting them back
again. He said there would be plenty
of ice again today.
After Nh. Decker had driven away
in his automobile a look in the ice
plant door showed that ice was being
taken from the cars and run into the
storehouse. An effort to secure a
piece of ice from those taking it out
could not be done, because it was
necessary to see the chief engineer
and he was behind locked gates and
could not be reached. August Deitz,
OF Rossville, who supplies the trade
on this end of the island, is said to
have made the charge that the Castle
company had taken the ice last week,
leaving this end of the island short.
The matter was brought to the
attention of Stuart l.. Ritz, president
Of the Tottenville Civic League, yes
Eerday, and he got in touch with Mr..
Decker on the telephone. MI. Decker
again denied the accusation of send
ing the ice to Perth Amboy and leav-
ing the people short here. 1t is most
likely that the matter will be brought
to the attention of the ice commits
sion of New York so hat a recur-
renee of the famine would not hap
pen again.
