Price of Ice to be Raised Across the Region
A long report describes an ice shortage affecting New York City and nearby areas. Officials caution against unsafe river ice from the Hudson, cutting off roughly a million tons of supply and boosting prices. Retailers move toward five cent sales, while some markets already switch to ten cents. Consumers face higher costs and reduced stock as dealers hint at a sixpence or more per item, with spoilage and transport losses as part of the impact. Cities like Elizabeth and surrounding districts rely on the Hudson harvest, and the public awaits official pricing changes and potential wholesale adjustments.
