B. Ross- berg, representing the city, and Ed- ward Greenstein with his partner Hilding Nelson as prospective buyers of the rapidly melting ice. The quar- tet took a trip to the scene of the dra- ma, the municipal ice house, which ! lies under the lea of the big dam at the northeast end of Shuttle Meadow. As has heen told, Mr. Greenstein claims e is short 315% tons on the contract made with Mr. Rhoades with the consent of the water commission- ers. Mr. Rossberg at once set to work to show that Mr. Greenstein was in error on his contention. By measuring the space formerly occupied by thc ice and figuring the weight in cubic measure, he showed that over 640 tons | had béen taken. Mr. Rossberg pro- posed to allow 200 tons for shrinkage with the understanding that Green- stein buy the remaining ice at seventy- five cents a ton. Final action was deferred to allow the commissioner to take accurate measurements for computing the | amount of ice now in the house. | Three sections remain, three having been sold, two to Edward Kurtz and one to Paul Listre. Mr. Rossberg be- lieves that at the proposed figure, seventy-five cents per ton, the ct'y will just about break even on the seu- son’s business.
