have been able to have prevented the
destruction of the buildings. However,
a lire engine, pumping four streams

were forced to fight the blaze.
The fire department did excellent
work and Is entitled to a great deal of
credit. The praise, however, does
not all belong to the organized fire de

of volunteers who responded, and
gave very valuable service. The fire
department was altogether too small
in numbers to cope with such a fire,
