Fire Department
Answers Double
Alarm Sunday

The fire department responded to a
double alarm rung from Box 313 last
evening about $50 and in in the
north end of the city for a blaze in
the house at SO Spruce street owned
by Julius Levine and occupied by S.
j. Antworth on the ground floor and
Bonnie Pooler on the second floor
The fire Is believed to have started
from an exploding oil stove in the
upstairs part of the shed and damage
was estimated at several hundred
dollars.
No one was at home in Mr.. Pooler's
part of the house and Mr.. Antworth
was just returning when a small boy
ran up to him and told him that his
house was on fire. Robert Willette,
aged about II, pulled the alarm and
1t is thought that he pulled down the
hook twice, causing the box to sound
eight times in all.
The fire wrecked the shed, burned
through the blind attic, I'D through
the roof and for a few minutes look
ed like big fire, but the firemen
quickly had two streams playing on
the blaze and 1t was all over soon
after 9 o'clock. There was consider
able damage by water to both witch
ems. A kitten was rescued by one of
thC III CiIiCI, tilc lltllc animal DelnR
half drowned when discovered.
Hose 2 responded on the second
alarm but owing to the congestion
caused by the automobiles crowding
about the house were unable to come
near enough for any assistance.
The city had been exceptionally
quiet all day but when the alarm
started to come in the streets lead
ing toward the fire became filled with
moving cars and long line extend
ing up Main street and turning down
toward the fire jammed and for sew
eral minutes a string of cars a quar-
ter of mile long filled the road, their
drivers adding to the din by frequent
sounding of horns.

the amendment proposed by Senator
Brewster on the ground that 1t Is too
sweeping, in that 1t would prevent the
granting of state aid TO many acad-
emies in Maine which serve as free
high schools in the cections where

have received less attention than the
