WATER FAILED, 50 BUILDINGS BURNED P. U. Com. to Be Asked to Probe
 Sharon Supply Source
LOSSES AMOUNT TO s5O,O0O
Casino, Playhouse and Homes of
 Fire Chief and Neighbor-Flre Siren Also Was Out of Order, Ad-
 ding to Difficulties of Bremen.

sharon, Conn.,, Jan. 26.-Because of failure of water pressure when 1t was needed during the fire yester- day morning when the Casino and two houses were burned, the public utilities commission will be asked to investigate the sharon Water Co.,, it was stated by town officials, today.
 Loss Is S50,OOO.
 The fire destroyed the Casino, a playhouse and the homes of Fire Chief Roland Marckress and Miss Ruth Prindel, the aggregate loss being placed at $50,000.
 It was claimed that several bad leaks in the water mains which made pressure in the hose impos- ,sible had been known to the water company officials. It was necessary to get water from the McCann Springs reservoir an hour and a half after the fire started and there was delay in finding the man who had the keys to the gatehouse.
 Church Bells Rung.
 The fire siren was out of order and the alarm had to be given in the old fashioned way which was on the church bells. The roof of the Casino fell in 20 minutes after the alarm had been given. The fire had started on the first floor. The fram- ing of the building was of pine.
 After fire hose had been brought into use the water pressure was sufficient only to send stream to the caves of the burning houses, scarcely ten feet from the ground. Fire apparatus was called from Mill lerton, Lakeville and Amenia, N. Y. The origin of the fire is undeter- mined.
