Monday of this week in the town of

the faculty of Tourtellotte Memorial
High school, North Grosvenordale, and
there they are to make their home IN
the future.
The "Teacherage" was created by

weeks ago, because certain teachers in
the public schools of the town were
unable to obtain boarding places with
in a reasonable distance of their
schools. three being unable 10 reside
nearer than Thompson Town, to Tour
tellotte Memorial High. One person
summarizes the situation that long
presented problem to the school
committee, by saying: 1--WE have the
schools and must have teachers; If the
only apparent way We may secure and
hold the teachers is To provide place
for them to live somewhere within
reasonable distance of their schools.

Firemen Level Front Wall
The threatening front wall Of tho
building. which inclined out over
High street. was pulled down by tho
tiremen this forenoon, and the sids
walls were also levelled. making all
that remained of Music hall Eat
smouldering mass.
Sparks from the blazing building
set fire 10 several buildings in the VI
entity, but rain prevented any great
damage Several iircmen were over
come by smoke, and Others sustained
injuries by falling on the slippery
roads.
The loss can only be estimated, and
the following figures are placed Cor
what they are worth, and may under
go radical changes:
William II. Cassidy, owner of the
building, $4,000
Walter Stone, owner of the Elee-
trio Shop. $4,000.
Webster Apparel Co., $4,000.
Commonwealth Amusement Co.,
lessees of Music hall, $4,000.
W. W. Holmes, owner of n hay and
grain store in the basement. $4,000.
Insurance Won't Cover Loss ~
Insurance on this property will not
cover the loss by many thousands OF
dollars, the wooden structure being
considered very bad risk by the I'M
derwriters. Several fires have pre-
viousiy occurred in the building. but
none have ever proved serious.
A second investigation of the
blaze leads many of the firemen TO
believe that the fire may have started
under the Webster Apparel Com
pany's factory. an establishment that
occupied the ground flour af the build
ing nearest Main street. and loca-
ton formerly occupied for many
years by the Webster Times, previous
to their removal to their present ioca-
ton on Main street The fire burned

ton of the Stone store.

battle. which was the most stubborn

could possibly be done with water in
fighting the blaze was tried out. and
