CITY MANAGER PLAN
FOR ESTHERVILLE


Special tn Times Republican.
Estherville. April 1.-THE new city
council, Mt its first meeting revolu-
tiouizeds the former city government by
first ousting every employee Of the
city except those employed at the
municipal light. water, and gas plant
and inaugurated the manager system
by electing f. G. Connolly city man
ager at n salary OF $500 per month.
City Clerk \. n. Egebert who has
been clerk for about twenty five years
and perhaps one of the hest posted
men in municipal affairs, Is succeeded
by Alex Johnston. formerly day clerk
at the Gardston Hotel.
The radical changes came somewhat
as surprise to many, In the face OF
the numerous improvements made and
the prosperity enjoyed during the last
administration.
The city has a municipality owned
light. water and gas plant, the latter
having just been completed during the
past year and the light plant over
hauled by placing a new steam turbine
engine and boilers. also a new concrete
stack 1875 feet high. The earnings of
the light and water plant will show a
net profit of some $4,000 in the face
Of increased salaries and fuel prices.

ICE MAY Be $50 A TON.
Dealers Predict Cooling Commodity
Will Sell For Fancy Price.

Des Mones, April li.-You folks who
like to hear the tinkle of ice in glass
of lemonade will be all out Of luck
this summer.
For state ice dealers. in session here
at the Chamberlain hotel say that Ice
will be worth it's weight in gold this
summer. A severe shortage is feared
by Iowa dealers.
l.. D. Miller of Waterloo. predicts
that fee will be 500 ton this sum-
mer. If the weather is very warm the
supply will be exhausted by midsum-
mer. he believes.
]. G. Black, of Des Moines, was re-
elected president; Charles Schaefer
of Ottumwa, vice president; j. r.
Simpson. of Waterloo. secretary. and
+. G. Plane, of Independence, treasurer
of the Iowa Ice Dealers Association at
the concluding session yesterday after
noon.
Mason City was chosen for the con-
vention city for 1920.
The following resolution urging the
importance of conservation of the ice
supply was adopted:
Resolved That 1t is the desire OF
the Iowa Ice Dealers Association, that
all dealers in ice in the state Of Iowa
use their very best efforts to conserve
and avoid all wastage Of ice; hold the
supply they may have by shipping
from the nearest point it can be Sc
cured from so as to avoid unneces-
sary freight rates. and it is further
urged that all ice factories and plants
be kept up to the highest efficiency
possible and furnish to the nearest
points needing supply. all that can
be spared until they must have it for
their own use. and later in the season
when demands have lessened they may
be able to resume shipments.
After carefully checking up the ice
situation in Iowa, it has been found
that less than one-half Of the area of
the state has secured supply Of ma
tural ice. and that both the eastern
and western borders of the state have
secured very little ice. Extending to
the extreme northwest corner and al
most to the northeast corner of the
state: but that the central or middle
portion Of Iowa, as far south as Mar
shalltown. has secured only fair sup
ply with but little surplus.
