Ice Cutting in 1919

From the January 23, 2019, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1919, 100 Years Ago.

"While most people are feeling grateful for the mild weather of the last few days, Frank Carter is bewailing the fact that the mercury did not remain closer to the bottom of the tube, until he gets his ice harvested.

"However, on Carter lake on the south Malta road, the ice is better than ten inches thick and today, Mr. Carter is getting his tools hauled to the spot ready for cutting which will start tomorrow."
