Pier Fire
Loss High
WEEHAWKEN. N. J., Jan. 8
W) A general alarm fire,
fanned by high winds, roared
through two freight export piers
of the New York Central rail
road today, blanketing the Hud
' ion river waterfront opposite
midtown Manhattan with dense
clouds of smoke.
Damage was expected to run
into several millions of dollars,
railroad spokesman said.
Five railroad employes were
injured when the blaze started
on pier 3, a quarter mile north of
the West Shore railroad passen
ger terminal. Pier 3 was de
stroyed. New York Central Fire Chief
Ernest L. Wevill said he believed
the blaze was started by the ig
niting of gas formed when a
drum of carbide sprang a leak,
and the carbide came into con
tact with water.
A fleet of three New York City
flreboBts. augmented bv 20 rail
road tugs and land apparatus
from Weehawken, West New
York and Union City, battled
flames on pier 4, to the north of
pier 3.
Thousands of New York-bound
commuters of the West Shore
railroad watched the billowing
smoke and spurts of orange
flame shoot hundreds of feet
into the air.
Railroad spokesmen said the
piers were loaded with general
merchandise, including flour,
automobiles ' end carloads of
limestone, destined for ships in
nearby New York harbor.
There were 50 railroad cars of
freight on pier Z hen the fire
broke out, and all but about ten
were removed. All of the 33
freight cars on pier 4 were re
moved to safety, the railroad re
ported. A railroad spokesman said
pier 3 was insured for $2,950,000,
and insurance on pier 4 was
$2,000,000.
