                          ICE HOUSE A LOSS
                          
                      ANTIQUATED STRUCTURE OF
                       GRAND TRUNK COLLAPSES
                            AT NORTH END
                            
                 The Grand Trunk ice house at the foot
               of Elmwood st., which has been in use
               for the last 25 years, collapsed this
               morning and as a result the two-story
               building in which the ice has been
               stored for icing passenger cars at the
               tunnel depot and the Block I shops in
               the summer, is a total loss.
                 Workmen in the Block I yards heard a
               slight noise and looked in the direc-
               tion of the ice house just in time to
               see it fall to the ground. The collapse
               is attributed to the antiquity of the
               structure and it is said that the build-
               ing had commenced to rot away in one
               corner. The loss is estimated at $2,000.
                 The last ice was taken from the build-
               ing three weeks ago and since that time
               there has been no one in the structure.
               The work of refilling the ice house was
               to have commenced next week.
                 "It is quite likely that the ice
               houses will be re-built, but just where
               I do not know as yet," said Superinten-
               dent of Terminals J. F. JONES to The
               Times-Herald this morning. "They may be
               rebuilt at the tunnel instead of where
               they were previously located."
