MILLiON-DOLlAR FIRE
SWEEPS BROOKLYN BLOCK

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Damage es-
timated at a million dollars was done
by a fire that destroyed an entire
square block of buildings in the
Green Point section of Brooklyn
early today.
The point at which the fire started
is not far from the Green Point plant
of the Standard Oil company. A
short distance off are a group of big
gas tanks and for some time fears
were felt that the conflagration
would spread to these danger points
and get beyond control.
The neighborhood is one of frame
dwelling houses and wooden indus.
trial plants. and as soon as the seri-
Gus nature of the fire was seen, the
police began turning residents out
of their homes. Hundreds fled to
the street in their night clothes and
Watched the firemen work.
The fire marshal's office Is inves-
tigating the cause OF the blaze, which
has not been determined.
