Sir Gordon Hewart, Attorney Gen

the embers of the fire which last
night destroyed the city hall, that

services department and ascertain II
signed debentures valued at $1,000, 900
and other valuable public documents
were damaged.
The building, erected in 1873 at a
cost of $1,000 is a total loss. So
rapidly had the flames progressed
when the fircmen arrived that it was
impossible to save many valuable pa =
pers.
Six firemen were injured, one OF
them, Capt. Riley, seriously.
Mayor Martin estimated that event
ually the fire and the rehabilitation
labors it will necessitate would prove
to have occasioned a $4,000, 900 loss
to the city. In addition to the de-
strUction OF the building and it's con-
tents he based his estimate on the
cost OF building anew, of replacing
lists of assessments, taxes and Other
records and the temporary expense OF
housing the city government. The
only insurance was said to be a re-
serve fund of 5000, 900 set aside to
meet fire losses and other cvcntuali
ties.
Many rare works Of art were de-
stroyed.
The resulting disorganization OF the
city's finances, Mayor Martin said,
would be incstimable. He thought It
probable that the Government would
authorize a special loan Of 81, 500, OOC
