The morning call., 1893-12-26

Commercial-stree end. the roof of which
was almost entirely eaten away. 1t is
said that $1,000 insurance was also carried
on that portion.
E. Bosqu & Co., printers. who occupied
the floor above Shattuck & Co., estimate
their loss at $50. 900, on which. one OF the
firm thought. they have about 20 per cent
insurance.
Blake. Mofitt & Towne, paper dealers.
who occupied the basement of the Shat
tuck building. suffered the greater part of
their loss from water. Mr.. Moffitt stated
late in the afternoon that they had stock
in the building worth from $4,000 to $780,
Co., but did not know the extent to which
it had been damaged. The stock Of paper
in the basement has probably been conn.,
pletely ruined, and, if this prove the case,
the firms loss will be about $4,000 in ex-
cess of their insurance. which, Mr.. Moffitt
stated, was from 70 to so per cent of the
stocks value.
The Pacific Coast Posting and Adverts-
ing Company had large number of cuts
and printed matter in Francis, Valen tine
q Co.'s building, and estimate the loss on
same at 5000.
The Commercial Steam Power Company.
which occupied the basement from 5O6k
to $40 Commercial street. suffered loss OF
probably $4,000. The entire plant was val
ued at 100000. This company supplied
power to large number of business en-
terprises in the neighborhood, and will
sustain quite a material loss in this re-
spect also. No insurance.
Philo Jacoby had the forms and paper
for ftaC or- ole ~
building, and estimates bis loss at $500.
Myself & Rollins, printers, occupying
the second and third floors of 52l Clay
street, were damaged to the extent OF $500
by water and smoke upon which they

j. SchweitzeI q Co., wholesale butchers
and meat jobbers, 519 Clay. estimate their
damage by smoke and water al $780,
Paul Brunette. lock and gun smith, sos
Commercial street. lost about 500 by
damage faom water.
The firm of Francis, Valentine e. Co. did
the printing for great many minor con-
Germs and papers which do not run their
own printing plants. Fortunately. how.
ever, all Of these had got their holiday
work out of the way. The Monitor lost
two OF its page forms containing the type
for the holiday edition, but it is under
stood that all the papers had been worked
off.
It is a difficult matter to estimate the
loss sustained by THE CALL and Bulletin
as that matter cannot be determined until
after the mann mothi perfecting press,
which is new and cost about $4,000, has
been overhauled. 1t is safe to say, how.
ever. that the total amount will not exceed
$4,000. on which an insurance is carried
fully equal to that amount.
The rear of the building In which THE
CALL and Bulletin are printed has been
damaged to some extent, which will prob.
ably not reach figure above $1,000 and is
fully insured.
The stock Of paper in the pressroom OF
The CALL and Bulletin suffered some
damage, and the material and machinery
in the stereotyping room was also pretty
