SMALL COTTAGE BURNED
The Occupant Inclined to Blame the
Fire Department

Fire broke out at 2 o'clock yeserday
morning in cottage occupied by Joseph
Rodriguez, on the corner of Temple.
street and Edgeware road Before the
department arrived, in answer to the
summons by neighbor, the roof and
part of the dwelling were burned, occa-
sioning loss of from $400 to $500.
Mr.. Rodriguez made a complaint that
the fire department was to blame for
the extent of the loss. He declared that
the alarm was given at the engine house
itself, and not through the box, and that
there was great delay on the part of
the men in getting out, although the fire
was close at hand. He further censured
the fire company for the way in which
it handled the blaze. and believes that
the property, or much of it, would not
have been so badly damaged had the
firemen taken proper measures
Assistant Chief Smith denied that the
engine company was to blame. THAT
company" said Mr. Smith, sis veteran
company and one of the most efficient in
the entire department. There are three
regular men and five callmen, and there
has been no change among the men fer
three years. No one has complained to
us about the response to the alarm or
the way in which the fire was handled.
AS matter of fact, he companies can
not respond so promptly to telephone
alarm or an alarm carried by some one
to the house as it can to a regular fire
alarm. The sound of the gong brings tha
horese into position and the men to their
places almost Instantly If the alarm
had gone In in that manner it might
have made difference of some seconds,
but after the men had been made aware
of the fire, they were at work as soon as
