FIRE WAS TOO FAST
Damage Suit Follows Attempt
to Thaw Pipes

The building of a fire around frozen
water pipes in the building at 122 State
street has precipitated Harry Edelson
into $4,000 damage suit in the district
court. The fire which he built to thaw
out the water pipes did much more
than was intended for 1t. and burnt up
most of the house. Rose Weinstein was
a tenant and her personal property in
the building suffered. she says. to the
amount of damages which she asks,
$4,000.
The water pipes in question froze up
one cold day last February and the
plaintiff, a tenant in the building. re-
ported their condition to the landlord
who started the fire which spread so
rapidly a quantity of silver plate
books, pictures, clothing and household
furniture was ruined. She claims that
the spread of the fire was due to the
negligence of the defendant.
In answer filed Edelson declares that
he gave the plaintiff ample warning OF
the fire so that she might have re-
moved all of her property.
