was sounded at l O'clock A. NJ for fire
discovered in the Home Bakery on West
street, and before the flames could be
checked, $50. COO worth of property was

the flames, and that there was no wind,
the center portion of the city lying north
Of West street, would have been de-
stroyed. This was one of the mos; fierce

in this city. Considering the limited SUP
ply of water available by the city for fire
purposes it is only wonder that the
flames were checked at all. The fire COM
