ICE giJESTION AGAIN.
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
