FACTORY BURNS IN
IRV|NGTON WITH
!. OVER $4,000 Loss
Plant of Varnish and Insulation
Company Furnishes Spec
tacuIar Blaze.

A four-story frame building was en-
tirely consumed by a fire in Irvington
at midnight, with a loss estimated at
$1,000. The burned structure was owned
by he 1rvington varnish and Insulator
Company and was located on fremont
terrace, near Grow street.
The exact cause of the blaze has not
been ascertained, but 1t is thought that
either the accidental ignition OF
matches OF a short circuit prompted
the destructive fire. Patrolman Christie
pher Hughes. of Irvington, discovered
the flames while patroling the vicinity
and he pulled the alarm box. The
n~eighborhood surrounding the plant
was brilliantly Illuminated and the fire
spread with amazing and unusual
rapidly through the course of the
havoc it left in its wake.
Carl Berger. of 167 Sanford street,
~Irvington. who is president of the COM
pany. said today that the plant has
been seriously handicapped by the fire
and that II would hinder the company
from getting out many important rush
orders. About an hour after the flames
were espied by Patrolman Hughes the
fire was out.
The firm manufactures insulated
tablecioth and oilcloth.
Included in the wrecked building
were the main offices of the company,
the shipping department, the boiler
room and the light machinery rooms.
The other large buildings owned by
the company. adjoining the burned
property escaped damage. In one OF
these untouched places are stored sev-
eral chemical tanks.
In the building which was burned
down were eleven Poles, all employees.
One of these is the night Waterman.
When the smoke n heat reached the
room occupied by these men they all
hurried to the street. Nobody was in
jured. The insulator firm employs a
night and day shift.
Among those who quickly responded
TO the alarm were Chief Groom, of the
I~rvington fire department. and Captain
Harvey Campbell, of the Colt street
frehouse. Arriving at the scene they
readily grasped that the logical course
to pursue was to con1ne their efforts
and those of the fire fighters to prevent
a spread of the flames. President Ber-
ger was also on the ground when the
fire was raging and he lent his assist
ance to the firemen.
The burning OF this structure recalls
an interesting period in Irvington his
tory. A decade ago the place was
acquired by Newark officials and an
effort was made to make an isolation
hospital out of 1t.
Strenuous protests from Irvingtonites
and a series of indignation meetings
caused the abandonment of the project.
