W. H. CONIBEAR. (Continued.) ICE COMPANY GIVE THEIR SIDE| Editor Telegram: Preservation of the neaitn of a community is the duty of every one, ':md the subject of the water supply for the manutacture of ice and the insure its purity, are of major importance. This question has been raised iu conncetion with the manufactur produce of the Lakeland Ice Com- pany, and the subject has properly and promptly been taken up by the (ity Council with the Southern Util ties Company, owncrs of the Lake- land plant. One of the complaints ‘was the tardy delivery of ice. This has beex cvercome, according to a statement rrade by Mr, H. C. Adams, general manager of the Southern Utilities Company, in the purchase of four sdditional mules, one new wagon and another ordered. Another complaint was that the contractors broke a sewer pipe, and that the water was allowed to run into Lake Wire. The break was im- wediately repaired, and it was fur- | ther stated on good authority that the water sank into the sand long before it could reach the border of the lake. The most vital question to be con- sidered is that of the purity of the .Ico delivered by the Lakeland Com- pany. An analysis of the waters usci for manufacturing ice has been made by the State Chemist, and not only does he report that there is no bac- teria in the water from which the fce is made, but also that even the water from the lake contains no telution by the soil waters, hence the idea of making phosphate of lime— whether found in the bones of ani- malg or in the mines, soluable by Ilhe addition of sulphuric acid.

[ N— The highest tributa any -member of the State press has reseived for a Iong time is that paid by the Tampa Tribune to Marcy B.

It is now known that sulphuric ecid is the most poisonous of all acids to plant life.
