The city council held a special mest- ing Thursday evening to further dis- cuss the matter of the city’s going into the ice business. Corporation Counsel sed technical changes in us_resolution’ passed appro- prln\xnx $1,000 for an ice shed in ad- dition to the necessary appropriation for cutting machinery, etc.. so- as to conform. absolutely with the city’s charter and ordinances, Reports were made by Aldermen Martin and O’Connell relative to the ‘progress of the work at the pumping on which was started Thursday. B Sthols so0 machinery for cutting and harvesting arrived yesterday and the work on the ice shed 30x35 feet Fred. Lambert having charge of the building of same. The construction work will be kept Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA ahead ol the cutting to accommodate the immediate storage of the ice. The shed will be so constructed that it may be enlarged another year if the project proves a Success. Alderman Jackson said some doubt had been expressed by business men of the city as to the practicability of the scheme. In order to take ad- vantage of the ice meking weather the sentiment of the board favored going ahead with the worlk, without Calling a special city meeting which woulg necessitate a five days notice. Alderman Martin stated parties stood ready to purchase the entire amount of ice harvested by the city at $2.50 a ton. Mayor Dunne believed the project would keep the retail price of ice down to a moderate cost within the reach of all families. He sald the purpose of the plan was not for the city to make money, as all the municipality would charge for ice would be sim- ply enough to break even. The exper- iment will be watched with interest. It not only raises the question as to the city’s ability to conduct the ice business on.as economical a basis as would be maintained by private own- ership, but it also is a policy that opens the door for Willimantic to go into other lines of business in com- petition with its own citizens and tax- payers.
