N ~chief board at 86 Union St, NOURWICH BULLETIN, » THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1917 MUNICIPAL ICE CONTRACT SIGNED WEDNESDAY Diodore Delage to Handle Frozen Product for Next Five Years. Diodore Delage of this city signed a contract, Tuesday evening, to han- dle the ice crop at the munieipal ice houses at the pumping station, for a period of five years, at an-annual cost of 3300, to be paid in three equal in- stallments on’the first of May, Aug- ust and December. Arrangements were made for such a contract as the one that was signed Tuesday evening, the first part of last October but a few details were mot settled and Mr. Delage was not ready to sign the contract until after the fiscal year had closed, so he could not sign until the board was sworn in. The two things that chiefly held up the signing of the contract were the amount of tools at the ice hous the construction of a road from the houses to the state road. The first Question was settled Tuesday morninz when the water committee, which has charge of the houses, went to the houses and made an inventory of the tools and the contract specifies that the city shail construct a road to the ice houses. Mr. Delage will keep the ice houses in repair during the five years and will sell the ice only in the city lim- its, at a retail price of not mcre than 45 ‘cents a hundred pounds, to all who will pay for it. This insures the city a cheap supply of ice and also a steady one Norwich Car Upset.
