 NO 7 SHORTAGE DUE HERE Present Cold Weather, If Continued.
 Means Plenty of Ice for Next
 Sunn,er-Trains and Electric Cars
 Running Late.
 Local ice dealers are already they can harvest the coming years supply of ice and if the present cold spell continues they probably will begin within two weeks. It is re- ported that the ice at White Oak is six or seven inches thick and men who have been fishing through the ice at Ham1in's pond report the ice is of unusual thickness for this time of the year. Skating has been en- joyed by many enthusiasts during the past few days. If the cold weather continues and the ice harvest begins, there probably will not be a repeti- ton of the municipal ice venture of last summer.

 Trolley Cars Off Schedule.
 The trolley cars have been running off schedule during the cold weather of the past few days. Patrons Of the Connecticut company began to make complaints, but in vain, as the cars continue to arrive and leave behind time. The ars are not heated to any great extent, despite the fact that commuters are forced to pay more than double the fares form erly charged for rides between here and New Britain. The trains on the steam railroad have been behind time and it is said the trouble is due to the poor quality of coal which is the only grade $obtainable now. The midnight ''dulzy'' has been late every night during the past week.
