kent the hous practically undam-
aged. A sligt t hole was burned in
the roof but i've for this, the house
was entirely intact after the fire.
Heavy streams, OF water were poured
on Aubin's house and Leon Leach's
house next door, which was the only
thing that saved them from going IN
il smoke.
The city w,lter was shut off when
the fire broke out but was turned on
as the first ala rm was sounded. The
electric wires for block in front of
the structure were cut down so as not
to hamper the work of the fremen.
The wires, ST. ung along the side of
the street how ever, proved dangerous
and it was necessary to continually
warn spectators away from the
danger.
A fresh ste ok had just been install
ed in the plant and Mr.. Aubin esti-
mated there were one million and a
halt rough l;obbns or about ten car
loads in the shop at the time. The
other prope rty destroyed was mach

of employment and comes at time
when TIE firm was doing a thriving
business and hardly able to keep up
with It's orders. Although Nh. Aubin
will lose heavily Mr.. Proulx will suf-
fer, it is understood, total loss The
latter was well known throughout
the state and his many friends will
be SORRY to learn of his misfortune
The fire practically wiped out the
entire property as only the office
desks and books were saved.
