ed. all three buildings being in
flames when the fire trucks arrived
on the scene. The firemen had to
stretch long lines Of hose and in
stretching the second line they
were seriously interferred with by
stree..s leading to the fire being al
most completely blockaded by au-
tomobiles that sight-seeers had
parked in the streets without re-

firemen. notwithstanding this
handicap the fire department did
good work and kept the fire from
spreading beyond the three build

be saved whef they arrived.
