 flagration.

Bridgeport, April 2O-At meet ing of the city council tonight a communication was received from tho Bridgeport Board of Fire Underwrit- CTS in which it was said
 Inc character of the construction of Bridgeport is such that should n fire attain heedway and a strong wind he blowing at the same time. this city would be in imminent danger of just such q terrible catastrophe as has overialen other cities in this country. some of which were much of better construction
 Our fire department is in good con- dition. It embodies splendid force of frcmcn, and they have good facili ties for fiehting fire but no depart- mont can stop confederation vhen once well started.
 Bridgeport is growing rapidly. Hs business centers are becoming mora md moro congcstcd in the matter if buildings and of people Values in these contcrs are assuming large pros portions. \ fire in any of these cen- ters therefore means considerable loss and possible connagration with it's enormous loss of property and it's possible loss of life"
