Bloomington Now Facing Famine in
Milk and Dairy Supplies.

Bloomington, Ind, November 30
bloomington citizens are almost facing
a famine in milk and dairy supplies
The p ID. Martin creamery, the largest
milk, ice cream and butter supply sta
ton in the city. burned last night,
with a loss of $4,000. This morning
the loss appears to be total. and
though the creamery is to be rebuilt at
once, Bloomington will be short of
milk products for several weeks. The
fire started in the upper story of the
creamery and destroyed an ice plant
and other buildings connected with it.
j. The members of the City, \, Council
public citizens and Indiana University
professors met at the courthouse and
discussed Blomington's future and the
water supply. The meeting passed
resolutions disappearing of any sur
render by the city of its plant to a
privute corporation, though a tempor-
ary control by private individuals was
cCuntenanced. Speeches were made
discussing the abandonment Of the
present location, which proved made
quate during the recent drought.
One plan favors the damming of
Gritty creek. southeast of town. and
another favors the building of 4
reservoir on Bean Blossom creek, four
miles out The present supply comes
from Limestone springs, which went
dry during the drought.

Pittston, situated on the Tyler road
together With 81 tons of hay. six cows
and q dog. Five cows were saved. The
fire was with difficulty kept from
spreading to the house. Tie neighbors
turned out and fought the fire as best
they could WREN their only weapon to
stay the progress of the flames was
buckets ~ water from the well on the
premises. The house caught fire several
times but was saved by the heroic ef-
forts of the nearly ~ neighoorS. who
turned oct as soon as they saw the
fire, which could lie plainly seen for q

in what way is not known. The in
terror was all ablaze when the fire was
