Mr. Walker maintained that he
could see no need of him makinsr a
statement as in his original statement t
to the newspapers he had explained
the ways and wherefores of the cause
of an increase in price.
He Intimated that nothing had
occurred to change conditions and
seemed doubtful about the ability of
New Haven to establish an ice plant
on J25.000 or sell ice at 50 cents a
hundred except at the stations
While he didn't say so, it was evi
dent from the short conversation
which a representative of the Times
Farmer had with Mr. Walker today,
that Mayor Clifford B. Wilson up un
til a few days ago hadn't thought
very seriously about erecting a muni
cipal ice plant. Whether His Honor
has given more thought to the mat
ter in the past 24 hours is doubtful,
due to his trip to Boston.
