Ice Dealers Attempt to
Justify Sharp Advance In
Price to the Consumer
feoost of 10 Cents Per Hundred Pounds Is Declared to
Be Result of "Increased Cost of Labor, Hay, Oats,
Gasoline, Clothes, Meat and Other Commodities."
Retail ice dealers endeavor to
justify their advance in the price of
ice from SO to 60 cents per hun
dred pounds, with a reduction to
those who are able to buy coupon
books, by referring to the increased
cost of labor, hay, oats, gasoline,
clothes, ' meat and other commodi
ties and articles.
The only 54-cent ice is that which
is bought by consumers who are
able to buy the coupon books and
pay for them on the terms prescrib
ed by the dealers. To many people
who are not able to buy the books
the price is 60 cents per hundred
pounds.
This 20 per cent increase went
into effect Monday and'wassimul
taneous with all retail dealers. In
the face of this increase, the munici
pal ice stations are selling ice for
30 cents per hundred, or 50 pounds
(or IS cents, which is half the price
being demanded by private dealers.
General Manager R. B. Howell
of the Metropolitan Water district
stated that the South Omaha Ice
company and the G. F. Howell Ice
company obtain ice at the Muny
plant at the rate of $5 per ton. They
deliver this to householders at 60
cents per hundred, less the discount
to holders of coupon books.
"In the face of everything it is
only fair that the price of ice should
be advanced," said F. P. Loomis,
president of the Omaha Ice and
Cold Storage company.
Municipal Plant Busy.
The municipal plant is able to de
liver the ice to 17 "jitney stations"
and keep attendants at these sta
tions and sell ice at a rate of 30
cents. Ton lots may be obtained
at the plant platform at the rate of
.i per ton, which is 25 cents per
hundred, and the plant trucks de
liver ice to butchers at the rate of
jfl cents per hundred with a min
imum of 1.200 pounds to a delivery.
The new household rate of private
dealers figures $12 per ton, except
to those who can buy coupon books,
in which cases a discount is allowed
for payment before the tenth of the
month.
Does Not Have Figures.
Asked for figures on his increased
expenses for labor, given as one
reason for the advance, Mr. Loomis
said he did not have them. His

company maintains two plants
where ice is manufactured. Coupon
books are sold for 800, 1,000 and
2,000 pounds each. F. R. Mockler is
vice president of the Omaha Ice and
Cold Storage company.
W. R. Wood, vice president and
general manager of the People's Ice
and Cold Storage company, asserted
that it is not fair to compare prices
of municipal ice with prices charged
by retailers who deliver to homes.
"Anybody may come to our plant
and obtain ice for 35 cents per hun
dred," said Mr. Wood. "You will
probably appreciate that during the
last three or four years the advance
in the price of .ice has been less than
of almost any other necessary com
modity. The cost of production has
more than doubled during the last
five years. We have bought 10,000
tons of ice in Minneapolis for deliv
ery here this month and in July and
August, to protect Omaha people
against a shortage which exists."
No Specific Details.
Mr. Wood did not offer any spe
cific details to support the advance
'in ice. L. E. Patterson of Chicago
is president of his company. E. L.
Von Behren is secretary-treasurer.
W. B. Etchison, head of the Etch
ison Ice Co., stated that he buys his
ice from the People's Ice and Cold
Storage Co., and that the price to
him has been increased from $4 to
$5 per ton.
"I am paying $45 per ton for hay
and 80 cents per bushel for oats and
I am paying nine men each $.10 per
week," he said. "I don't see how
I can get out of raising the price of
ice."
W. F. Poff, owner of the City Ice
company's plant, stated that he be
lieved the law of supply and de
mand controlled the price of ice.
"Ice is going up for the same rea
son that the farmer is charging $45
a ton for his hay," he said. "Our
operating costs are increasing. We
have been paying truck men $100 a
month and we are going to raise
them to $30 per week. There is a
great demand for ice in towns near
Omaha. There are enough plants
here to supply the local trade. The
scarcity of ice seems to be general
throughout the United States. We
are charging 30 cents per hundred
for ice at the plant and $6 to $7 per
ton for ice we sell to butchers in
wholesale quantities."

Month of Brides Bids
Fair to Break Records
In Marriage Licenses
June, the month of flowers and
especially orange blossoms, began
j with a record-breaking pace in the
i Douglas county marriage license
bureau. License Clerk Stubbendorf
says he can feel his "Cupid's" wings
! sprouting and his right hand is all
cramped up from writing out the
specifications of the blushing brides
and nervous grooms who present
themselves in a waiting line before
his sanctum.
On Monday, the first June day
when the bureau was open, it did a
record business of 18 licenses. At
one time six persons were waiting
for licenses.
The number of licenses issued in
! June at the local bureau for the last
seven years is as follows: 1912, 283;
1913, 323: 1914, 304: 1915, 270: 1916,
331; 1917, 315; 1918, 280.

prescribed brick as the material to be

sprung in the form of a statement

ready had laid the concrete base in
anticipation of being awarded the
contract. It happened that his brick
bid was low. Commissioner Towl
explained that the property owners
wanted brick and that Fanning was
willing to take a chance by starting
the work ahad of action by the
council. The mayor and commis
sioners all voted to award Fanning
the brick contract.
The Heavens in June

reaches its highest north and enters
the sign of Cancer, the Crab. Then
astronomical summer begins, and
the day has its greatest length, 15
hours, 4 minutes. This length, how
ever, varies less than a quarter of an
hour the whole month. The earliest
sunrise, 5:53 occurs from the 10th
to the 21st, and the latest sunset,
8:59, from the 28 to the first of next
month.

still our evening stars. On the 15th
they set respectively at 10:42 p. m.,
11:53 p. m. and 12:32 a. m.

Jupiter and Venus on the 1st, with
"Saturn on the 3d, and with Jupiter
