Nitrogen Research Building
Razed-Damage Estimat-
ed at $4,000.

Famed by a northwest breeze
fire in a frame building used by
the fixed nitrogen research labora'
tory Of the Department Of Agricul'
ture, Massachusetts avenue west
Of Wisconsin avenue, burned to the
ground today, causing loss Of thou
sands Of dollars worth Of expert
mental machinery.
Buildings Of similar structure
containing high explosives nearby
were endangered through lack OF
water pressure. The main nitrogen
laboratory Is only thirty yards
from where the fire was raging.
The fire was discovered about
$50 this morning by James Law, a
Waterman, who had just come on
duty. A few minutes earlier it was
stated a Waterman had made the
rounds but did not see the blaze.
Three engines and a truck company
responded to an alarm turned in by
James Shartell, another Waterman.
When the fire fighters arrived the
building was nearly consumed.
Fearing that other buildings would
be ignited, the firemen abandoned the
blazing structure and fixed their ef
forts on the surrounding structures
The damage to the property was
unofficially set at $4,000. The fire
marshal and Department Of Agricui.
ture officials are going over the
ruins today checking up.
The RACED building was used as a
store room for machinery and also
as a carpenter shop. 1t was one OF
those which had been used by the
chemical warfare division during
the war, but which had been turned
over to the Department of Agrlcul
ture for use in nitrogen expert
ments. About a dozen Of these
buildings still remain.
