SHANNON BUILDING FIRE
COMPARED WITH OTHERS
Fire and Water Engineering Says De-
partment Here Was Wonderfully
Suceessful-Should Have More En-
gines.

The issue Of Fire and Water Engi-
neering of February p gives four pic
lures Of the Shannon building fire and
has an article on the fire in which it
says: The building was doomed and
the efforts Of the fremen were de-
voted to saving the adjoining property.
In this the department was wonder
fully successful, and if Chief Stanton
had had more engines-and for the
better safeguarding of the city he
should have at least two-the damage
to the adjoining property would have
been very much less. Handicapped as
no was he saved a conhagration. The
fire was so well stopped as to cali
forth universal praise from the in
surance men-those who after the
suppression of the fire were most in
terested in the matter and most likely
to crittcise the operation Of the fire
department,
The same issue OF the magazine pic
lures a million-dollar fire in St
Paul, Mimi, which was in four-story
buildings, three being Quilted as wen
as one three-story building. Nothing
was left of those buildings which were
Of lesser height than the Shannon
building and there were nineteen fire
engines at work there, and forty more

ty engine streams shown.
In Schenectady the Arcade, a three
story building, was entirely Quilted be-
ing as complete a wreck as the Shan

ing at that. Teams broke her side
