Artificial Ice Plant Lost Money at Kentland Last Year.

Kentland Enterprise. Roy Campbell, superintendent in charge of the Interstate Public Service Co., informs us that the artificial ice plant at this place will not be started up this spring, but that ice from the company's plant at Lebanon or from some 'other point, would be shipped in to supply Kentland. The local plant, Mr. Campbell states, was operated at a loss last season owing to the fact that the early spring and .late fall demand was not sufficient to permit operating the plant at its full capacity. It is probable that during the summer months when the demand for ice is at full tide the local plant may be run for a time.
