LONGPORT In BATTLE
WITH SERIES OF FIRES
Four Distinct Blazes in Eight
Hours in Jersey Sea-
shore Resort
ATLANTIC CITY. Oct. "a.

Longport, the summer home of many
Philadelphans, had the fire scare OF its
history today, when no less than four
blazes occurring at intervals between 4
O'Clock this morning and noon, destroyed
several dwellings. one of them the resi-
dence of Mayor Ralph Harcourt, a Phila-
delphia boy and the youngest municipal eX-
ecutive in the State.
The first fire started about o'clock in
the residence of Mrs. Ella G. Howard,
mother Cf Percy Howard, a Nentnor official
Before twenty minutes had passed the
building had been damaged to the extent
of $4,000, and $500 damage additional had
been done to furnishings, This fire was
due to crossed electric wires.
An hour before noon a fire, which started
in the summer cottage of former Prosecutor
Clarence L. Godenberg at Twenty
street and the Thoroughfare. spread rapidly
to the home of Mayor Harcourt nearby
The Goldenberg dwelling, one of tho finest
waterside homes in Longport was destroyed
with a loss Of about $65OO. The greater
part of the loss is covered by insurance
From the Harcourt house the fire spread
to the summer cottage of II. Dec. Hamil-
ton, of Berwyn, whose business address is
1915 North American Building, Philadel-
phia This house was destroyed.
Longport officials say the fires were caused
by the failure of the Atlantic City Electric
Company to turn off high-vOltage wires
blown down by last nights storm. 1t is as
serted that the company made no move
until four hours after they were notified Of
LongpoTt's peril.
