mage wrought and replace the
rned buildings. The municipal au-
orities commenced the work Of re-
4 ir yesterday morning, and the board
( Xix will be completed for its thou

The origin of the fire is generally
|tributed to crossed or improperly in
lated electric wires underneath or
ar the boardwalk. One report has
as having been caused by a dog
'lsetting an oil stove. The city coun-
b proposes to take prompt steps to
Ievent the recurrence of a similar
saster.
The ocean piers and pavilions were
/ 1t slightly damaged, and will be fully
paired in a few days. The burned
|Iildings, which are in the busiest
art of the city, will be replaced with
rger and more substantial struct-
res. Action already taken by prop
