BURNS; MILLIONS DAMAGE
(Continued from page -

Two fremen are known to have
been injured, one was Assistant
Chief Harry w. Tooker. who was
severely burned. James Kelly fell
from a ladder and was removed to
the city hospital where he was found
to be badly bruised. He was later
removed to his home.
The firemen could do little but
spend their time throwing water on
the nearby plants, in an effort to keep
the fire from spreading to them. Two
of these plants, which were threaten.
ed by the flames. were the American
Smelling and Refining Company and
the Henry Maurer e. Sons Brick
Works. The only damage done to
these plants was the burning of the
stable of the brick company. the fire.
men by hard work saved the other
buildings from destruction.
The fire caused an exodus from a
tenement district near the plant and
thousands of workers loaded their
families on trolley cars and hurried
them away from the heat and chok-
ing smoke. This in a small way re-

The plant is in four units, one
being the refinery, the others being
production departments for asphalt

Every department has been destroy

the paving department, nothing can
save it. The iremen are now fight

pect to be able to keep it from CIV
ing away.
During the fire the Perth Amboy
Chapter of the Red Cross did much
to relieve the trials of the firemen by
serving sandwiches and coffee to the
exhausted men.
The firemen following an investi-
cation today, announced that about
1000 feet of hose had been destroy
ed. This Is valued at $1.40 per foot.
In the roofing department, the Of
ficials state that between 5000 and
1000 tons of felt was destroyed.
The buildings of the plant were of
brick, steel and concrete construc-
ton.
A big steamship with a load of as
phalt is due at the plant 1t was
learned at the pilot office this morn

number of large barges which were
tied to the docks of the plant were

ment which had not been placed in
operation as yet. This building was
situated near the water front, and
was completely destroyed.
Today the ground in the plant is
covered about three inches of asphalt
to which one sticks as soon as it Is
stepped into. This interferes some
what with the work of the firemen in
fighting the present blaze. Efforts
have been made to move some
freight cars in the plant which were
not burned in the fire. but the as
phalt on the tracks makes this i'm
possible.
