GIRLS PROMPTNESS
PRESERVES HOUSE
Uses Mop and Water to Wet Grass and
Prevent Fire from Spreading on
Dunmerston Hill.

But for the quick action and presence
of mind of Miss Helen koski, the home of
her grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. John
Seppala, of Dummerston Hill would
have been destroyed by fire yesterday
afternoon.
Mr.. Seppala, knowing the ground was
very wet all about, started fire in a
pile of brush. The grass was dry, how
ever, and the fire spread rapidly and Mr..
Seppala soon found that it was beyond
his control. His daughter, Mrs. John
Anderson. ran to the woods where her
husband was working and summoned
him. Mrs Ed. Dodge, a neighbor, and
Mrs. Seppala fought the flames and their
clothes caught fire, but the fire was ex-
tinguished. Miss koski called for mop
and pals of water, and thus extinguished
the fire, by soaking the grass around the
edge, just before it reached the house.

1OUGHTON & SIMONDS
MEET SELECTMEN
Little Prospect of Establishing Build
ing Corner as Specified in Town
Meeting Resolution.

After conference between the select
men and Houghton & Smonds the pros
poets that building corner will be estab-
llshed at point on the Hooker property
as specified in the resolution adopted in
the special town meeting Tuesday night
are not especially promising.
The resolution authorized the select
men to establish the corner if it could
be done for $500, the idea being that the
town should acquire land in the rear of
the site of Houghton < Simonds's pro-
posed garage and induce Houghton & ST.
| monds to set their building back from the
proposed location.
Mr.. Houghton and Mr.. Simonds met
| the seleetmen in the selectmen's room
! yesterday afternoon and discussed the
situation, and it was made clear by the
owners of the site that $500 would be no
/ indueement TO them. Hougllton & ST.
monds considered making a proposition
| to the selectmen, but did not do so, and
the seleetmen feel that they have done all
| in their power under the resolution.
| There the matter rests.
| Houghton & Smonds state that their
! proposed garage is not intended to be a
permanent structure, which has not been
generally understood 1t is their plan to
put up a temporary building to pay the
expense of keeping the lot. and in lG
years, more or less, or when conditions
warrant, TO erect a mercantile structure
there They feel that as there is no pros
pCct of widening the street it would be
folly for them to establish a corner As
far back from the sidewalk as specified
in the resolution, being convinced that
their show windows would then be oi
practically no advertising value.
