Closing Urn lor Clasilhed Aflt 8:3 m m. Too Lai to Claully 12:13 pm PLANT, MIDWAY Fire, believed to have origin ated from defective wiring com pletely destroyed the Crater Meat company plant on Midway Road Friday night. Stanley Mor gan, owner of the plant which is a major processing concern for the Medford area, estimated that the loss in meat amounts to $10,000. The owner, who took over the plant a year ago last December, stated that he plans to rebuild immediately at a cost of about $35,000, of which 50 percent will be off-set by insurance. Office Records Saved Sam Morehouse, driver for the sand and gravel pit across the road, discovered the blaze, which started at the rear of the building, about 8:30 p. m. Plant employees and local residents who rushed to the scene were able to save only the records and office equipment of the firm, Morgan says. A state for est service tank truck was call ed from the Table Rock station about 0:30 and aided materially in keeping the fire from spread ing to surrounding structures. Morgan, whose plant does custom slaughtering for a num ber of Medford markets, in ad dition to small concerns, farmers and other individuals, does not think the loss will incur a meat shortage in Medford. He ex plained that the loss would have been much less had not livestock In the yard been removed and slaughtered In preparation for largo week-end deliveries. ( Much Meat Lost Fifty-four beef carcasses val ued at $7,500, 85 hog carcasses estimated a'l $2,500 and $500 worth of veal was destroyed by the flames, the owner asserts. He urges all those who had meat In the structure to contact him. The fire exemplifies need of the Midway area to establish a district which would maintain fire equipment, Morgan declar ed. He believes that with such apparatus available a large por tion of the meat woum nave been saved. Wiring Blamed The blaze was still smolder ing yesterday afternoon. Belief that defective wiring had caus ed the fire was expressed to Morgan by representatives of his insurance company. Morgan commented, gralctui- lv. on the assistance and coop eration lent by the state police, forest service and others from the neighborhood. TWO INJURED IN TRAFFIC MISHAPS First Lt.
