an immense gas tank Of the public service
corporation In Hoboken yesterday after
noon drove hundreds Of persons from
their homes. set so girls working In
factory into a panic and sent cloud OF
dense black smoke over New York for
several hours The tank, which contained
over 1000 cubic feet Of gas. adjoined two
other tanks OF similar size.
A fourth tank nearby was filled with
naphtha.
= Working In constant peril Of an explo-
sion. Hoboken's entire fre department
succeeded in keeping the adjoining tanks
wetted and cool. while an employe Of
the company opened an emergency gate
and drained the naphtha tank. which had
been the source Of greatest danger.
Householders and occupants OF tene-
ments within a radius OF three blocks Of
the fre were driven from their homes by
the police
The Are in the big tank finally burned
itself out and the distorted sides OF the
holder collapsed How the fire started is
mystery.
