During all the cold weather a large number of sleichs were kept busy hauling in the ice to the big ice houses. The only difficulty that has been experienced is in getting men to do the work.

Good wages have been paid, THE GARBAGE COMMITTEE To Recommend Installation of Blow ér To Save Wood. At a meeting of the Civic Garbage an. Refuse Committee: on Wednes- day evening, at which Alds.
