The fire had gained considerable Roadway

partment arrived the entire building was
in flames. II was a sheet iron structure,
20xSo feet In size. and the interior was
made food for the flames by the reason Of
the paints and oils which are used in there
daily. There was, however. very little stock
In the building, the greatest value of the
contents being in the sash and blinds and
sets for cars which were being vanished.
In addition the brushes of the workmen
were in the shop. 1t was impossible to
save the building and Chief Ravell turned
his attention to the car shop. which was
within a few feet OF the burning building,
and Il was saved from the flames, There

RERATING THE CITY.
For The Purpose of Fire Insur.
nnce.

Mr., Ed Jalonlck we'll known in fire in
surance circles. has been in Houston for a
week or more, re-rating the city for in
surance PURPOSES.
Houston has not been rated since 1894
and the constant changes Of growing
city causes q confused schedule unless
ratings are made at less frequent inter-
walls
The present re-rating is regarded as an
indication that the companies doing bus!-
ness in Houston will probably accede 10
the request of their local agents for more
favorable basis.
The rera,inc will certainly show very
much improved conditions in the fire linn
Its and this compared with IIouston's very
much improved fire fighting service, are
circumstances that are likely to secure for
Houston In the near future the long prom
ised reduction in insurance rates.
