WILLIMANTIC

Norwiok Bulletin. WilAmantis Onice. 1 8 Cksrch street. Telephone 1eS. Just how much authority tho lawyers of Danielson or any other part of the state have in telling the Willimantic po- lice how they shall protect their city from booze runners, is a question Chief KiIlourey would like to ask. Law-ahiding citizens of this state need not worry about being held up by the Willimantic police and being subjec' ed to The practice of tho local police in stop ping automobiles coming into this city will continue as long as the police have any suspicion that liquor is being ille- gally carried through this city. Any law abiding citizen, intending to do his share to enforce the prohibition laws should not feel that he is being imposed upon when an officer in uniform stops him and asks l him for his license. and at the Ssk kle time gives his automobile the once over. l The Willimantic police have treated every autoist they have stopped with due respect, but they all state that if that ambitious lawyer feels inclined to treat them as highwaynen and promptly knock them down, he can come right ahead and try t.
 The police feel that the lawyers, | the Danielson correspondent of The Bull letin. were wholeheartedly back of the enforcement of the prohibition law, they would praise the work of the police any where, who in their way endeavored to i suppress law breaking.
 l Many of the automobiles that have been stopped by the Willimantic police have come tearing towards this city at | a speed well outside of the laws rela- | tive to automobile driving, and the driv- CTS have been brought into court here | charged with speeding as well as having intoxicating liquo[ in their possession. The police agree that any man that sees a person in civilian clothes trying 1 to halt him, should put on speed and re- fuse to stop, but the Wllimantic police have always operated while in uniform and this alone commands some respect ! even from lawyers.
 The Willimantic police have never made it a practice E rummage through the baggage of persons riding in the au- tonobiles, as this practice has already been ruled out Under the old suspic- ion laws. however, they will continue to watch the entrances of this city and stop any automobile they have suspicion of being one of the too numerous booze wagons" that are running about this state.

 Visions of lee cutting. enjoyed by To- cal ice dealers Thursday, faded Friday when rain poured down all day and late into the night. Those who watched the ef- feet of Fridays rain on the ice, state L that the loss in thickness was little If any, and cold weather during the next few days would make it possible to start harvesting the crop. March 1st marks the end of the ice harvesting season and some time between today and that time the ice must be gathered. The four ice. | cutting locations, however, show ice oi good thickness. Ice at the pumping sta. tion at Mansfield, at Eaton's Cove, i1 Mansfield, and at Ayers and Ives Coves ranges from seven to nine inches. Icl was cut at Ives cove recently and somt Wfllimantic families used it Friday. Ont [ thing looked forward to by the ice deal CTS is the lessened cost of harvestinl their crop as wages this year will b. lower than the $4 to $s paid last winter The water committee who made the con tract for the sale of last winters ics crop to L. W. Ives foF- s150 tor weighed at the pumping station, gave MT r Ives the same proposition for this year which was accepted. Just as soon as tn ice reaches certain thickness the cut i ting will begin. Machinery at the plah . has been overhauled and everything i in first class shape The ice now store 1 at the umincipaI-p plant fills and and one half houses and will last for severa !, weeks. That the municipal ice proposi
 tion has been paying one has been ad
 mitted by those who have followed tn
 figures of returns during the past tw
 years. Two years ago the city mad
 profit of $5,o00 from the crop and las
 year, after expenses of $8,103.91, tn
 books showed a balance of $4s6.os o
 hand and 2,500 tons of ice remained i
