NO. 186' ' CRYSTAL ICE AND COAL COMPANY CHANGED HANDS THIS MORNING ' D j i . r r f AJA vr rurcnased by L. v. Conger And Associates Yes- terday. Equipment Plant Enlarged The Elizabeth City Crystal hands this morning. The plant is now in Charge the Crystal Ice and Coal Company has been purchased outright i tvt a i cu . rrx. j i by Mr .Conger and a number of business associates. The deal, Which has been on for about Sixty days, was consummated yes- terday. There is a report which seems reliable but which lacks official confirmation that these associates are W. G. Gaither and C. R. Pugh. The price paid has not been given out, but it is generally understood that the amount was sand dollars. The new concern has applied for a charter and will do busi ness under the name of the Crystal Ice and Coal Corpora tion. It will be capitalized at $200,000. A limited amount of stock will be offered in or der to enable the corporation to make necessary improve ments and additions. Mr. E. C. Conger, manager for the concern, is the so:i Ol. Mr. E. R.

"The very Hi'sL thing that will be undertaken," ::aid a rep resentative of the new manage ment this morning, "will be the improvement of the qual ity of the ice and the elimina tion of holes in the center of the cakes that have been the cause of so much complaint recently. These holes are due to pulling the ice before it is thoroughly frozen in the en deavor to make more ice than the daily capacity of the plant "with its present equipment. We hope the public will not ex pect too much too soon, but we can assure the people that we wjll endeavor with all dili gence and promptness to re move every just ground for complaints of every character.'

"We do not need the recorder's court," he said. "Thei'e 80 courts are costing more than the needed extra superior courts and the trials in these do not settle much because most of the contested rnnvlctlnnS are appealed from and tried again in i the superior court, thereby costing the state and tho defendant time for two trials, double cost and double attorney's fees. These courts are not only expensive, but fail to exert that influence and givo that satisfaction the public demands.
