Unless unforeseen contingencies
arise the Crystal Ice company, Inc,
expects to begin storing ice IN it's
new 3O00-ton capacity ice house on
the South Stream road not later than
January l. The house, which is
! 10OxJ0 feet and 25 feet high. would
have been finished at an earlier date
but for the delay in the shipment Of
some of the larger tiinbers which
were secured In Maine.
Before undertaking the constTuc-
ton OF the building, William II. My.
ers visited the ice cutting section
along the Hudson river and inspcc'
ted some of the big plants that supply
the mammoth demand in New YORK;
city In this section every known
facility for the harvesting and stor-
| ing OF ice is utilized and perfected.
The experience obtained on this tour
OF inspection has been Incorporated
in the company's new plant and W. +.
Palmer, the contractor. says there Is
not a better ice house in The state
OF Vermont.
Ordinarily four walls and a roof ara
supposed to constitute an ice house.
but the Crystal company have gone
far beyond that idea and have built
for permanency and economy OF op-
Grafton. The house is built With
double wall, with ten-inch space be-
tween. The intervening space Will
be filed with sawdust. This system
oil "a
thorough trial by Hudson river lee
dealers and they claim that ice may
be stored in such structure with
out packing iif sawdust. The method
permits a better use OF space and
ice is In much better shape when de-
livered to the consumer.
Late in the summer, the company,
through its contractor. NJ. J, Burning
ton. constructed a seven.foot concrete
dam ON what is known as the Law
renee Falls brook and by which a
pond of about two acres has been
created land for ths plant was Sc
cured frrm Fred Foster and Fred
Lawrence. purchasing from the for
mer end leasing from the latter.
The brook flows through territory
practically free from contamination
Of any kind and IS created by noun
tain springs. Such conditions should
ENABLE the production OF much bet
ter 100 than has been cut in recent
years on Benton pond.
The company has also purchased a
new Gee ice harvester guaranteed to
cut 10O tons of ice an hour under
favorable circumstances There is
eight inches of excellent ice on the
rond at the present time.
The Crystal Ice company began
business in 1917 following the death
of the late Mortimer Hamlen who
had conducted an ice business at Ben
ton pond for many years. The houses
were old when purchased and have
since deteriorated to considerable
extent. The pond, too, has filed with
silt and grown up with weeds to such
an extent that the company found
it desirable to make change.
