Rodnick in the two story hollow tile
and stucco building owned by Aaron
Gross at 1880 o'clock caused $4,000
damage. FIremen from this place
Metuchen and Perth Amboy aided
the local company in fGhting the
blaze.
Delay In turning the alarm in after
seeing smoke n flames issuing from
the building was mainly responsible
for the big start. This Was greatly
aided by the fact hat the hremen did
not have any water pressure when
they arrived on the cen thereby be-
ing forced to stand around and watch
the flames spread while waiting for a
real pressure.
After the stable man had noticed
the fire he reported same to Mrs.
Gross who communicated with the
Fords Porcelain Company where the
alarm is turned in. The telephone
call was made about 1880 and the
alarm did not go in until 1855, this
time allowing the bakery to become
n roaring furnace, an dhlling the
remainder of the building with smoke.
Several telephone calls had to be made
to the Middlesex Water Company to
give some pressure. for there was no
water IN the tanks at Tartan Manor
erected by this company, 1t Is claim
ed.
The pressure was finally secured
and calls were sen to Metuchen and
Perth Amboy for assistance. The
first mentioned had to connect eight
hundred feet of hose to fight the
fire while the McClellans of Perth
Amboy were working from a hydrant
six hundred feet from the blaze.
The fire had spread to h rear walls
and up under the main roof. but with
three streams of hose playing on the
flames, the blaze was soon under con-
