Walker las Contract For Entire Ice Output
 Of Brewing Company

Rumors were confirmed this morn ing that the Naugatuck Valley Ice company, of which Harry W. Walker is president, had contracted for the entire output of the Home Brewing company of this city for an indefinite period.
 Any thought that the fact of brew cries turning their attention to the manufacture of ice for commercial purposes might, through resultant competition, lower the cost to the consumer, seem to have vanished in to thin air with the announcement.
 The matter of ice and ice prices has long been a sore spot with Bridge port people who at a election voted for a municipal ice plant, which, however, has never been built.
 Whether a similar effort to "corner' the ice output of any other breweries in this city or New Haven has been made, could not be stated today. It was generally considered probable equipped for the manufacture of ice with comparatively slight alterations, would go into the ice business for commercial purposes, in order to continue in business in spite of the Volstead act.
 With that announcement came the hope and prophecy that ice prices might come down because of the com petition New Haven is affected the same as Bridgeport to a certain ex- tent, and in the summer of 1919 was a party to an ice argument that for a time promised startling develop ments, but which eventually resulted in nothing worthwhile being done.

No Action Is I aken On
 Judgship

Governor Lake had taken no ac- tion- on the appointment of a judge of the Bridgeport City court up to noon today. according to reports from the executive offices in Hartford. The term of the present incumbent, Judge Frederic A. Bartlett, expires tonight at midnight, and if any appointment is to be made it must be before that time.
 Senator E. Earle GarIick has re- ceived the governors official confirm ation of his appointment as deputy judge and will take office tomorrow succeeding Judge Frank L. Wilder, who with Attorney Albert J. Merritt, was a candidate for the judgeship.
 In case that Governor Lake fails to make the appointment within the specified time, opinions differ as to the status of the judgeships. Some claim the appointment would auto ma,hcaIly remain over for the next session of the General Assembly to decide while others say that the pres ent court officials would be in office until successors are named by the Governor. Others say that Deputy Judge Garlick could tbe sworn in, and could oficiate in his official capacity until the senior judge is appointed
