Plainville, Mass.-A forest fire,
which started in Wrentham at /
o'clock Wednesday afternoon, and
worked its way to this town, burned
over tract of about four square
miles.
The work of the Plainville fire de-
partment, and of hundreds of towns
people called from all quarters was
rendered futile by the setting of back
fires by owners of houses, who lighted
the brush to save their property
At o'clock in the evening a general
alarm was sent in, but the flames were
still in progress at late hour.

by moving on Friday.

as much as the customers. Whatever

ERROR DELAYS
STREET WORK
Paving of Mission Road Is
Blocked, as Wrong Ordi-
nance Was Sent to Mayor
WANTS HOUSE VACATED
Grand Jury Says Walls of
620 Jackson Street Are
Not of Legal Thickness

Owing to technical error In the
proceedings Of the Board of Supervis-
ors authorizing the paving with as
phalt OF Mission street between Onon-
daga and Porter avenues at cost Of
$50, 600, the Board of Public Works was
compelled yesterday to delay the per-
formance of the work until the error
can be rectifed. The Barber Asphalt
Company, in response to invitations for
proposals, was prepared to file a bid
to do the work, burt when its repre-
sentative was apprised of the nature
of the error he decided to withdraw
the bid. for the added reason that no
provision was made for the building
of sewer in the street
President Maestretti said that the
first ordinance passed by the board au-
thorizing the work contained q clause
specifying that contract was TO be
entered into for the paving Of the
street except on that portion required
to be kept IN repair by the railroad
company. This was a mistake, as
there are no tracks laid on the portion
Of the thoroughfare proposed to be i'm
proved. A new ordinance was passed
which specified that the contract was
to cover the paving of the street with
the exception Of a strip twenty feet
wide in the central part. reserved as a
right of way for the company which
has a franchise therefor. This ordi-
nance was duly passed. but the first
ordinance by some oversight was sent
to the Mayor, who affixed his sigma

must be begun over again so the work
can be legally performed.
The City Street Improvement Com
pany was awarded the contract for the
repair of bituminous pavements in the
district bounded by Post, Lombard and
Devisadero streets and Van Ness ay-
enue; Eighth street from Mission to
Folsom; Folsom street from Ninth to
Twentieth; Thirteenth street from Fol-
som to Harrison; Guerrero street from
Market to Twentieth: Shotwell street
from Fourteenth to Twentieth; Market
street from Van Ness avenue to Cas-
tro.
The City Engineer was directed to
prepare an estimate Of cost of building
a sewer In H street from Seventh to
Twentieth avenues.
G. H. Roundey wanted to know what
had been done regarding the removal
of alleged obstructions on Thirty-sixth
avenue and K street. Commissioner
Eagan stated that after a personal in
spection he had failed to find any OBJ
structions.
The board received 6, communication
from the Grand Jury calling attention
to the alleged fact that the walls of
the building at 620 Jackson street do
not comply with the building ordi-
nance in that they are only nineteen
inches In thickness instead of twenty
one inches. The Grand Jury desired
the board to do police duty and clear
the structure of the inmates. The City
Architect was directed to detail an in
spector to accompany the members of
the board in an investigation of the
actual conditions. When the Commis-
sioners arrived at the place they were
served with an Injunction by Attorney
Mack and prevented from entering the
| building.

AS Miss Birchler informed the court
she resides at the Metropolitan Hotel
on Third street and is professionally
touring the Orpheum Vaudeville Cir

churches. Birchler is her genuine sur
name, she added, but she uses 1t only
in her private life and on church pro-
