FIRE IN CITY
HALL DOES BUT
LITTLE DAMAGE

Shortly before l O'Clock today, Henry
Wolf. head of the meter division of the
water department, had occasion to
leave his desk int go to another room
in the City Hall. When he came back
a few moments later the desk was
ablaze. An alarm was sent in. and
when the apparatus came a quick dis
position of the blaze was made with
chemicals.
When Mr.. Wolf was sen later he esti-
mated the damage TO be about 500, the
rug. desk and chair being the only
things damaged. The only manner. in
his mind, that the fire could have
originated was by a box of matches
igniting when he closed the drawer Of
the desk.
