Athens, Georgia, Jan. 25.-A
large part of Athens downtown
business districts was a mass of
smoldering ruins today and it was
estimated that the fire which early
today swept clean three entire city
blocks and damaged adjoining had
destroyed property valued at least
S4,OOO,OOO. No loss of life was re-
ported.
The fire, of undetermined origin,
broke out shortly before midnight
and it was five hours later before
the combined efforts of firemen
from this and nearby cities succeed
ed in controlling it. At its height
the fire appeared as if it would
wipe out the entire downtown sec
ton and was then that appeals for
assistance were sent.
Rapid spread of the blaze was
said to have been due to the eX-
pIosion of gasoline drums in a
building housing a motor company
This scattered the flames beyond
control and the fire spread dowr
the east side of Wall street, south
of Broad, virtually destroying every
building in it's path.
The flames then leaped across Il
the west side of Wall street, where
dry goods store covering nearly
n block was destroyed.
Hundreds of persons struggled
to save their property from buiid
ings threatened by the flames ant
the streets adjoining the fire aref
we're tammed with wagons, trucks
and even wheelbarrows loaded will
merchandise and furniture.
Adding to the confusion and diff
ficulties was a weakened waite
pressure but this soon was over
come. Finally the firemen man
aged to check the flames and holt
them to the buildings already vir
tuallv destroyed. 1t was dayligh
before the conflagration was satei
under control.
