shortly after o'clock and within an
hour the entire building was in ruins
The fire department was at great

could be secured from nearby wells
but this was not sufficient to combat

When the fremen reached The

BILE Roadway and it was spreading
rapidly. Soon the flames enveloped
the entire structure.
In order to reach the place the de-
partment was forced to make use Of
new road which has been opened but
few days, and the roadbed was soft

The disastrous result of the blaze"
said the fire chief, plainly demon
strates the need of a combination
hose cart and pump in Moline. One
has been ordered and will soon be in
service. With this pump We could
have run out hose to neighboring
wells and at least saved a part of the
structure and some of the furniture.
In fact We might have extinguished
the blaze and reduced the loss 20
