TWENTY-E|GHT CARS
RUINED BY THE FIRE
Street-Railway Officials Estimate
the Fire Loss at Nearly
100000.
COVERED BY INSURANCE

Twenty-eight street cars, all of the North
Illinois, Central-avenue and the Northwest
ern-avenue lines, were destroyed in the fire
that broke ou6 in the Mclean Place car
barns early yesterday morning. The open
shed in which the cars were housed made a
good draft for the blaze, and it was with
difficulty that the fremen made any head
way in fighting the flames. After the first
company arrived it was evident that a
fierce struggle was on and a second alarm
was turned in. 1t was o clock before the
last apparatus left the scene of the fire.
Nine of the cars burned were of the large
double truck kind, five were OF the open
variety and one was a specially made con-
struction car. The rest were closed cars
next in size to the biggest cars used
j. Nj. Jones, assistant manager OF the
Indianapolis Traction & Terminal Com
pany, estimates the loss at nearly 100000.
A large fire wall between the open sheds
where the fire first started and the main
sheds prevented the flames spreading
further and prevented a loss of thirty-tive
more cars. Officials of the company say
that the service to the city will not be
'trippers," which used at the busy
hours of the day and in case of emergency,
will be forced into regular service. The
cars will stand in the open at Mclean Place
until the new car sheds can be built.
Ben Taylor, a new member of colored
company No 16, was injured by falling
timber striking him on his head. Tom
Smith. of the same company, fell into one
of the pits at the sheds and was badly
bruised.
The total amount Of insurance carried by
the company is $500, 900, of which % per
cent. of this amount on the barns at
Mclean Place. All of the company's in
surance is placed with Gregory & Appel.

The prominent residence streets and the
downtown districts will be carefully in
spected by the police during the day. and
