The factories named had a daily output each of 5 to 200 tons, the 
American Ice Company controlling that of five, the Columbia Ice 
Company that of one, the others being independent. It is under- 
stood that many of the large hotels, restaurants, and cold-storage 
plants have their own ice plants. As time was limited and it was 
ascertained that the ice manufactured by them was for their ovm 
use, no attempt was made to find or inspect them,
