When the Main street chemical crew,

flames were beginning to spread and only
by prompt and efficient work were the
fremen able to prevent TIL flames from
gaining any further Roadway.
A line Of 1-2 inch hose was quickly
run into the building and the stream of
water together with the contents of the
40 gallon chemical tank on the Main
street auto soon had the flames squelch-
ed.

was burning in the furnace and the heat
from this caused the chimney to. get much
