fixing the loss in the hands OF Mr..
mediately after the fire. He called in
craftsmen OF the various trades to
make estimates on the various work
necessary to be done Everything
was then In readiness for the adjust
err whose work was soon accomplish.
ed on Thursday.
thoro Investigation into the
cause OF the fire brought out the fact
that IL was not caused from the fiue
as first supposed but II was the
opinion OF the investigators that de-
fectjve electric wiring was probably
the cause. This building was one of
the first big jobs Of wiring ever put
In in Canon City and of course wiring
twenty-five years ago was not done as
scientifically or as safely as II is to-
day. The building will be rc-wirci
according to the safe system now in
use.
Mr.. Ames has the contract for the
reconstruction OF the damaged part.
