Although the ice men still maintain
there is nothing to be alarmed about yet
regarding the ice harvest, the time is
fast approaching when some pretty cold
and favorable weather will be needed
to cause the lake to freeze to a thick
ness where 1t will pay to cut ice. This
is by no means the warmest season on
record. but in other years there has been
a supply of ice on hand and there is
practically none in this city to-day. In
1906 the Mariuuita was kept in opera
ton until February between Shelburne
harbor and Burlington, and this season
closely resembles it. Yesterday there
was no Ice in Shelburne bay or even in
Shelburne harbor and in Burlington har-
Dor there was only a thin film of ice
reaching out from the shore toward the
breakwater. In Malletts bay the ice
does not increase in thickness as usual
and remains only about six inches
through. To-day it is expected the ice
houses on the banks of the Winooski
river will be filled with cold storage ice
and that is the only supply yet in this
winter These houses hold about $500
tons.
