An Important Moling of the Mutual Ire Company Stockholder* to Be Held Friday. ' Stockholders of the Mutual Ice company have been notified that the annual meeting of that company will bo held on Friday afternoon and each and overy stcckhcldcr Is urged to be present In person, ae matters of im? portance aro to be considered. As the Mutual Ice company la more of a put lie enterprise than any other In the city, having been brought into exist? ence by a popular movement to obtain cheap ico, a large number of people are directly Interested in its affairs snd a still larger number will be in? directly affected by any change in the policy of the company. Therefore, knowing the extent of the public In? terest in the company, inquiry war. made by a representative of the Daily Item for the purpcae of ascertaining what necessity had arisen for urg? ing stockholders u attend the annual meeting in person. It was learned that a radical change in the policy of the company Is contemplated and that for this reason It is desired that every stockholder thould attend the meeting and participate in the vote on the mattere that are to be brought before them. The statement was also made that un? der the by-laws the company is bound to sell ico at at the stated price of 3D cents a hundred to stockholders, but there is no obligation to supply Ice at IMs price to the public generally. This being the case it is thought that an effort will be made to restrict the lo? cal side of Ice tc stockholders by whom and for whose benefit the Mu? tual Ice factory was established. If this should bo done a larger propor? tion of tho output could be shipped out <>f town and sold at a much high? er pric- than Is now realized for tho Ice po\d In the clly. This proposition will of jourse, create comment am' It behooves all the si - k hold? rs to at? tend the annual m<cttng. The annual reports of th.? officers will also be laid before the stockhold? ers and the<?e will bo found both in tero'tlng and Instructive.
