Details: Of late years the demand for ice during the summer months has largely increased. Hitherto the local consumers have been entirely dependant upon the Sydney ice supply companies. But to obviate the necessity of local consumers depending entirely upon the metropolitan manufacturers to supply their orders, Mr. S. Dark has, w notice, leased a portion of the Great Northern Brewery, in which he has erected a complete refrigerating plant, for the manufacture and supply of ice in the city. The freezing chambers, with its numerous cells, just erected is capable of turning out between three and four tons daily. A 24lb block taken from one of the cells in the presence of our representative, appeared to be equal in quality to the Sydney-made article, and is supplied to customers at similar rates, and delivered to order within a few minutes after being taken direct from the refrigerating cells. The wastage consequent upon transporting ice from Sydney is obviated, a very great item of saving, where large quantities of ice are daily used; so that the enterprising proprietor of this new industry in our midst may fairly claim the patronage of local consumers. A water-distilling apparatus is now being erected, and will be completed in the course of a week or two. The cells in this apparatus will be filled with distilled water, and after being subjected to the freezing process the ice blocks turned out will be clear as crystal. Mr. Dark says he will spare no expense in his efforts to turn out ice of the first water, and should he be supported in his plucky enterprise – as he confidently anticipates he will – it is his intention to erect a more extensive plant, and fit up a large cold storage room wherein butchers, produce merchants, and others may store meat, butter, eggs during the sweltering summer months.
