When the fremcn arrived the

Tho fire proved stubborn and the
hremen had to chop through walls
and flooring in a number OF rooms
to get to the flames Comparatively
little water was used except in the

several Instances drivers Of cars were
inclined 10 argue the matter OF the
right Of way for the FIRE apparatus
In at least one case a machine was
