OF the high loss which fire might
cause through the destruction OF eX-

days or week in places nearer the
producing centers would take months
in the present instance.
The structure covers an area of G.

124 feet. The exterior architectural
treatment is quite elaborate and is
carried out entirely in artificial stone
