EDISON PLANT BURNED.
Loss Put At 81, ,ooo, 600, With s2.ooo,ooo
insurance.

West Orange, n. J.-Fire destroyed
virtually the entire main plant OF the
Edison Company here, causing dam
age estimated at nearly s7000,00O,
with insurance that is expected to re
duce the loss approximately $4,000
900.
An entire square block of modern
reinforced concrete buildings which
were supposed TO be ireproof was
burned out by the flames. The only
edifice saved in the block was the
laboratory, containing valuable scien-
tific machinery under the immediate
superintendent of the inventor,
Thomas A. Edison. Especial efforts
we're made to save this structure.
1t is estimated that about 5000 men
and women will be temporarily thrown
out of work because Of the fire. In all
about 1000 persons were employed al.
the plant, but as the storage batteT,
building. across the street from
main plant, was saved. with OF
buildings nearby, it will be possible
keep something more than half the
force employed.
