rho fire in the North Wildwood city
all on Tuesday morning, August %,
ZOO caused damage to the extent of
* 900. according to a statement from a
stable source. The roof of the build
~ was damaged beyond repair and
.be second and third floors were badly
sborred. Almost every window was
t-oren by the f1remen in order to let
.ho smoke out of the building so they
aou1d fight the flames more easily. The
A,rnishings of the second floor, which
u,as used for the meetings of the North
wildwood Council and a social room
tor the fremen, were totally destroyed.
THE desks, filing cabinets and other
office equipment in the tax collectors
oeice on, the first floor were saved.
The third floor was used for public
Gatherings and social functions and
contained a large number of chairs
which were damaged. The jail, on the
first floor, next to the Office of the tax
collector was the place where the fire
had it's origin and consequently the
rear of the building was where the
greatest damage was done. The fire
department occupied the east side of
city hall and the apparatus was taken
ont before it could be damaged. The
headquarters of the tax collector has
been moved to the Anglesea Associa-
tion building on First avenue and the
fire apparatus is being housed in the
Anglesea garage. The firemen held a
carnival last week to raise funds for
a fire house so they are assured of fine
new headquarters and at the next
meeting of city council steps will prob
ably be taken to erect a new city hall.
