Darina the 'os stveek we have teen dealing with some
thing' other then a hot sub ject dee cutting and harvesting with the thsrmor -
eter below zero is a snapvy jos. During the winter months approximately 250
tons of ice must be stored"away to meet the summer needs. The ice being cut
at ore sent is two feet thickand is obtained by flooding tne ice pond after
each cutting. The Provost 3gt die thirty two men(16) from each company )have
been working- foTf several da vs under the supervision of the C.Oo and The
from 50 to 75 more tons ere needed todate. This will complete five layers of
ice in the ice house. v/iien the ne reservoir is completed the ice will be
obtained there from and should an ice house th&m be erecked near the res
ervoir it would dispense with the present system of hc.uling the ice down
grade for storage and t.ien c cm up again for delivery.
