Title
Ice Has Prevented Making the Usual Number of Arms
Description
It has been so cold in Springfield that the wheels at the armory could not be cleared of ice before 11am. Because of the severe frost drying up the water, the usual number of arms could not be produced. Beause of the slow pace of work, the stocks on hand will last a little longer.
