HIGHLANDS HAS
A $4,000 FIRE
Business Section of Resort is
Swept by Blaze Last Night
Rain Prevents Spread

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, March
fS-A spectacular fire of undetermin-
ed origin broke out in the business
section Of Highlands. three miles
from here, last night, destroying
five establishments, including SiegePs
dry goods store and Lanes grocery, in
Miller street. A number of other
business houses were badly damaged.
The loss is estimated at SAC, 600.
In all sever buildings of frame con-
struction were destroyed by the fire,
which started at l a. m. in a three
story store and apartment house and,
famed by a strong northwest wind,
quickly spread to adjacent structures.
The flames were not gotten under con-
troll until after n foul hours fight by
fire companies from Atlantic High
lands, Sea Bright, Navesink, Red Bank
and Long Branch. The heavy down
pour of rain aided the fremen In pre-
venting further spread of the flames.
Among the buildings destroyed were
two boarding houses owned by Valen-
tine Weisenberger. the candy and
stationery store Of Harry Fl. Johnson,
residence of John Paterson and the
pool room of Albert Schmoun.

That figure was an estimated figure,
while thu figure above vas obtained
from the depot.
shipments were being made from
Morgan at the rate of five cars a day
at that time, but had to be stopped
owing to extreme weather conditions
at Fort Wingate, N. NJ. In the mean
while every effort was made to open
up additional temporary storage at
other points in the west. As a result
of this effort requests for transporta-
ton orders on all high explosives re-
naming at Morgan have been made,
to move at the rate of five cars per
day. No further delay in this move
ment is anticipated. 1t should be re-
called however, that this material
which remains at Morgan is now
stored in absolute compliance with
the New Jersey Law inc is scattered
through f%ifty-one buildings, well
spaced and barricaded from each
other.
I'm regard to Raritan Arsenal, it
has never been the intention of this
office to utilize Raritan Arsenal for
permanent storage of large quantities
of high explosives. The T. N. T. has
practically all been shipped to the
west, there remaining a balance of
$3.50 pounds. There is at the Ar
senal 173.122 pounds of tetryl and
1898 pounds of ammonium picrate,
the majority OF which material will
be removed from this point
TN addition to this there is LIS.
643 pounds of shrapnel powder. which
is not a high explosive. There is al
so ~5,S23,971 pounds of wet picric acid
which carries over 10 per cent. mois-
ture, and which in this condition is
not ciassed as a high explosive. A
considerable portion Of this material
belongs TO the French Government,
but in any ease it Is the intention of
this office to remove all of this mater
ial from Raritan in the near fututre
mo special effort has been made to
move any OF the above material since
the T. N. T. has beef shipped away,
as there were other points requiring
more serious consideration. The ma
terial now at Raritan is stored in such
a way as to offer no undue hazard.
