Repair Damage
From Fire in Power
House at Fall River

Fall River, Mass, July 14-(P)-
Partial service by the Eastern
Massachusetts, Street Railway in this
section was resumed this morning
after a fire in the powerhouse last
night which destroyed two of the
four units, crippled the other two
and paralyzed traffic throughout the
division.
All night work restored the two
damaged units. each consisting of a
converter, transformer and reduction
coil, to service but grave fears were
exposed that one of them might
break down at any time, under the
unusual load. Railway officials
could not estimate today how long
it would take TO replace the units
destroyed.
Service this morning started with
cars running at 20 minute intervals
on practically all lines. Buses sup
plemented this schedule and many
private cars were called into service
in accordance with the emergency
order of Mayor Talbot last night.

The second half of the year opens
with general business ON a level of
activity not far below that prevailing
when the year began Some lines,
it is true, have failed to fully main
tain the active pace of earlier months,
but generally speaking trade and pro-
duetion have held up better than many
have expected. Commodity prices
have continued to show more stability,
and retail trade has responded to
more seasonable weather in a man.
ner that speaks we'll for the ability
and willingness of people to buy when
conditions are at al propitiou&- These
factors, together with a considerable
recovery in the stock market, have
helped to dispel much of the pessi-
rnism that began to crop out last
Spring.
! Most Of he fears of business re-
action IN the latter half Of the year
have been based on possibilities Of
slump m the so-called key industries,
namely, Steel building, and autoro-
bile manufacturing, and thus far these
industries have failed to justify pessi-
nnstie predictions. Steel buying has
packed up lately to a degree that has
surprised and encouraged the trade.
and prices Of structural steel have
been marked up s. a ton, following
an advance On bars in May. Building
contracts awarded during May showed
q gain of 10 per cent over last veal.
Production of passenger cars and
trucks IN the same month, while off
from the high levels of preceding
months, was 1888, or 2.3 Der cent
ahead OF May last year, and although
competition IS increasing and all com.
panles are not sharing equally ia the
business the record of the poouiaY
makes shows that the market for the
KIND OF car the public wants Is BIZ
no means exhausted.
Tying IN with the high level OF
building IS activity in the lumber Ia
dustry which is reported 70 be above
normal for this season. Non.fefrass
metals have been more active aaA

brisk, hardware is in good defHaHd.
and prospects for machinery and
machine tools have apparently i'm

with the exception principally of the |
textile industries, of which more will
be said later, business generally ap-

End Row Over Gas
Service in N. I'll. Towns

Concord, n. H., July 14-(P)-State
officials this morning believed that
the last chapter had been written in
the legal tangle over failure of the
Hampton Gas Company to supply
Hampton and Seabrook Beaches with
gas. Late yesterday, Chief Justice
William w. Sawyer, of Superior
Court. ordered the company to sup
ply gas to summer residents. Failure
to do so, he said, would result in the
appointment of a receiver, who will
see that service Is given" The COM
pany refused to resume service on
June "a, claiming that the Haevrhiil,
Mass. Gas Company was charging
too high a rate for gas purchased by
the Hampton Company. Since the
first of the month hundreds Of occu-
pants at the two beaches have been
without gas for heating and lighting.
