Ice Shortage Hits Manhattan and Bronx Depots
President Wesley M. Oler of the American Ice Company warned of a looming urban ice shortage before January. Fog and headwinds along the New England coast delayed Maine shipments, cutting city supplies by about fifty tons per depot and causing late deliveries. Some vessels have taken up to twenty days for the trip, with Hudson River houses already emptied. The company expects relief as Maine deliveries arrive, but cannot guarantee avoidance of future shortages. Prices were not raised amid the disruption.
