for it will mean that only the sheds will
have to be reconstructed.
Fire Marshal Beers. who was on the
scene, expressed the view that only re-
inforced concrete should be used for
such STRUCTURES and that wood should
be eliminated a light reinforced con-
crete would be sufficient, he said; would
not cost any more in the end and would
be much less subject to destruction by
fire.
MIR. TayEor's Experience.
Orlando H. Taylor was seen at the old
Metropolitan Steamship Company pier,
No. 8. from which the Harvard sailed
shortly before 8 o'clock for Boston I
cannot give an estimate of the loss sus-
tanned" he said, for we have not had
any opportunity of estimating the
amount of freight destroyed or of ap-
praising the damage to the Dimock
7 was just TO lunch on board the Har-
ward when 1 heard her whistle. That Is
so unusual at midday that it startled
me Then I heard fire bells and looked
cut on West street, and then ran to the
back of my office, which was upstairs
in the front of the pier shed. The sight
from there was terrible-the whole place
seemed ablaze at once, and the flames
were coming up as in a flue toward the
front of the pier.
1T is not true that our men tried to
fight the fire before the alarm was given.
Ia a r
ward was taken out and her eight
streams turned On to save her, but just
as soon as the blaze was discovered one
Of the men ran out and gave the alarm.
The fire simply raced up and got a start
before we knew where it started One
OF the men at work told me positively
that he had seen the blaze, which was
small at the time, starting in a crate of
rattan furniture which had been un-
loaded during the forenoon"
Stop Ferry Service.
Within five minutes after the fire was
discovered the smoke became so dense
in the ferryhOuse of the Lackawanna
Railroad, next to Pier 15, that the po-
lice decided to close down the ferry ser
vice. The police boat Patrol headed off
all incoming ferryboats and the wait
ing rooms were cleared, though they
were crowded with commuters headed
for various points in New Jersey. The
ferry service was suspended two hours
Fireman Luke Flanagan was the only
member of the force seriously injured.
He had one hand badly gashed in tearing
up the heated corrugated iron. His
hand was dressed on the spot. and he
fought hard against going to the Hudson
Street Hospital but the doctor insisted,
and. much against his will, Flanagan
had to go

that fire would have been put down in

people, as well as from the citi
xeps generally, are constantly
being made of the violation OF
the Sunday closing law, and a
number of the business people
are anxious to observe the law
ifitls made applicable to all
alike.
"Certain placesin the city that
are hard to police aud contro
have equipped themselves witt
such ARTICLES as are sold in drug
stores on Sunday in order thai
they may remain open on Sun
day, and it is necessary thal
there be more uniform obser
