Prices ranging from 80 cents to $1, and over, were being for ice, it was learned. It was also brought out that the ci charged ply is practically controlled by Berkshire company and should the concern carry out its reported threat to cut off New Britain from its supply this city wil face an ice shortage dur- ing the coming months. The meeting was presided over by Alderman H. P. Richards, chairman of the ice committee. Among the deal- ers present were Oscar Doerr, Herman E. Doerr, Jr., Henry Bailey Julius Schultz, Harris Brown and Elmer E. Austin, Councilmen Wall, King, Eichstaedt and Mayor Quigley were also present and took part in the discussions. 24,000 Tons of Ice Necded. In reply to a question as to the present supply of ice in this city, Mr. Doerr of the New Britain Ice corpor- ation said that his concern had about 3,000 tons on hand. The company, he continued bought a supply in the country and would have purchased more if they had had available funds. The corporation is receiving a carload of ice each day from the Berkshire company. Mr. Doerr also stated that he had no assurance from the Berk- shire company that the ice supply would continue coming in. Mayor Quigley asked Mr. Doerr an estimate of the ice supply needed for New Bnit- ain during the season. Mr. Doerr re- plied 24,000 tons was fair estimate for a season, or approximately 100 fons daily. Me said that ice is retailed about 80 cents per 100 pounds. Mr. Bailey of the Baily Ice company repeated his conversation with Mr. Brown, manager of the Berks Ice company which he had last week. He said that Mr. Brown informed him to look for his supply elsewhere and that the price per ton in the meantime would be boaster $2 per ton. The r son .given by Mr. Brown for discon- tinuing ‘the supply was that other smaller communities were in greater need of ice than New Britain. Mr. Doerr when asked concerning the price paid for his ice refused to answer, saying that he believed this an unfair question $1.10 Charged for Tee. re Herman E. Doerr, Jr., said he was obtaining his ice supply from the Berkshire Ice company at the rate of four and five carloads each week. He told the mayor that he had been paying $6 per ton for his ice and substantiated Mr. Bail statement that the company had notified him that the price would be raised $2 per ton commencing June 16. An ad- ditional charge would be made for freight bringing the price over $8 per ton. He has, however, not had to pay the higher price yet and had therefore not advanced his price. He is charging the dealers 55 cents, he said. His retail price at the store- house is 70 cents. Mr. Doerr also informed the committee that it is his understanding that some of the dealers are selling ice for $1.10 a hundred pounds. Harris Brown said that he is se- curing his ice from the Berkshire company and paying $8 per ton for it. He said that when the ice arrived in this city, he was actually paying $14 per ton, due to the shrink- age His retail price is $1 per ton, he said Urges Railroad Tnvestigation: Mr. Doerr urged the ice committee to investigate the traffic conditions on the railroads. Due to the poor rail- road service, the shrinkage this year is worse than ever, he said. Before the war, he continued, his company received a carload of ice from Lake Congamond in a day. Now it takes two days to get a car through. The delays are caused in Plainville and in the local yard. Mayor Quigley inquired as to the advisability of establishing a general delivery in the city. Mr. Doerr re- plied that it was too late in the sea- son to carry out this plan. A report of the investigation of the ice committee will be made at the ad- journed meeting of the common coun- cil on Wednesday evening. Although reports have been made to the con- trary, Mayor Quigley brought out at last evening’s session that this city is entirely dependent upon the Berk- shire company for its supply. At the present time there is about 55 days’ supply on hand. PETERSON ATE. Appraisal Filed Today Indicates De- ceased Left $4,099.33.

The announcement during the early morning of the council’s decision to refuse a further extension of time in which Germany might answer in- augurated a day of extréme tension. It was generally known to the public and conference diplomats that only a few hours separated them from the portentous decision. The first light came in @ press dispatch from Weimar about noon, stating that Germany had decided to' vield but nothing was heard from Versailles until shortly after 3 p. m. A telephone message from Versailles then announced the arrival of German reply which, it of the initiated The first definite an- however was made to correspondents at ss hadquarters at Q 0. Tt being stated that an affirmative reply had been de- livered to Col. Henry, liaison officer between the Germans and the peace conference who was bringing it to Paris by automobile. It was not long after the reply had been reccived and opened before the supreme council that guns began to boom from' the forts around Paris and Associated dur- weeks strain and was known to a few was favorable, nouncement American pr French d'Ors rejoicing crowds began to stream through the streets, having heen ap- prised by the sound of cannon that the Germans had accepted the Allied terms. Allied flags were flung out from windows. Automobiles, loaded with cheering doughboys and excited Poilys, dashed through the thorough- far Church bells throughout the city were pealing everywhere and cheering, animated throngs gave ev dence of the joy with which the Par- isian’ crowds welcomed the end of the long years of agony and The celebration soon imed a more tumultuous character and by 8 o'clock in the evening Paris seemed bent on indulging in an. excited demonstration of joy. Bands of stu- dents had taken pos ion of the German trophy cannons, ranged on either side of Champs Elysees from the Arch of Triumph to Place de la Concorde and were dragging them in a procession through the city, each cannon carrying its burden of cheer- ing youths. Speclal editions of news- papers, with huge captions: ‘“‘Peace has come,” were snatched from news sellers by excited Parisians going home from work. Plans for the ceremony attending the signature of the freaty were con- sidered by the supreme council today. Tt is known that President Wilson favors making it as simple as is con- sistent with the nature of the event, and the original plans for the clusion of the second peace of Ver- sailles have been materially modified at his suggestion The plenipotentiaries will be seated ised dais in the center of the all of Mirrors in the chateau of Versailles, upon which will be in- stalled the table wupon which the treaty will be signed. The program does not contemplate any set address- es, but it is believed that both Premier Clemenceau and the leading German delegate may make short speeches. The delegations will come to the table when called upon by Secretary Paul Dutasta to affix their signatures opposite the scals which will, prior to the event, fixed to the instrument tension con- be The announcement of Germany's acceptance of the treaty has thrown the Hotel De Crillon, Amarican headquarters into wild confusion. Be- cause as to the uncertainty as to the date on which the treaty will be signed experts, officars and clerks who will return on the George Washington with President Wilson have heen ordered to be ready to leave on Tuesday night.
