$4,000 DAMAGE IN FIRE
At CUSHkOC PAPER MILL
LOWERED BY INSURANCE

A bad fire swept the wood room
of the Cushnoc Paper company mill
about 6 o'clock Monday morning. 1t
originated in the conveyor which
carries the sawdust from this room
to the boiler and burned the wooden
runway of the conveyor and de-
stroyed some machinery and betting
besides charring the west end of the
old mill. This damage was estimated
at about $1,000, which was covered
by insurance.
The fire had gained good Roadway
before discovery and when the fire
apparatus left the hose house 1t
could be plainly seen from there
The combination fire truck. the hook
and ladder and the hose wagon all
responded to the alarm. which was
rung from Box 20 When they
rachel the scene of the fire the men
ran out fiv lines of hose and soon had
the fire Under control. They were
absent from the house about an hour
and a half which was good work
considering the Roadway which the
fire had attained.
