VOLUNTEERS 'HECK kENS|NGTON BLAZE Save Bungalow on Hardy Street
 From Destruction
 INGNDIARISM SUSPECTED
Ju(Ee Griswold Fines Three and Ieleases Two At Weekly Session 6 Court-SchoOl Children To Hold Art Exhibition-Itcms.

Fire of mysterious origin last night partially destroyed a new bum Slow on Hardy street, kensington, Icing checked by volunteer fire ;orce recruited from neighbors.
 The bungalow, which is unoccu- pied, has recently been completed by Pasquale Giannotti and is one of a row of three of the same type. The blaze was discovered by Michael Hart, who occupies one of the ad- joining houses. Hart sounded an alarm to the neighborhood and tele- phoned New Britain for a fire truck. Fortunately a gathering at the Tabs hall nearby furnished a supply of workers that tried to check the blaze. Inadequate equipment for a time enabled the flames to work un- hamperel until it was found that a hydrant on the Goss and DcLeeuw property nearby would enable a hose to be stretched to the scene of the fire. Eve volunteers manned the hose which was also the property of the manufacturing concern and sue ceeded in subduing the flames until the New Britain apparatus arrived.
 With the arrival of the New Brit ain tuck. the fire was quickly put out with chemicals. the volunteer ende,vors having successfully check cd the flames from spreading and the lamage was confined to the rear part of the house, destroying the back veranda and part of the rear partition. Damage was estimated at s1 200 by the owners of the pro- perty.
 Incendiarism Is suspected, as the fire occurred at point impossible to be charged to faulty wiring or any ether of the usual causes. When discovered by Hart, the flames had not reached Any dangerous propor- lions and it was through the lack of suitable equipment that the fire was not checked with only nominal loss es. With the hose service on the flames, the fire was rapidly checked and 1t was only through the burst ing of the volunteers line that it was not put out altogether before the arrival of the Hardware City ap- paratus. Tho burst occurred near the nozzle of the house and drench- ed both the workers and by-standers, the pressure being much higher than that of larger cities.
 The loss was completed covered by insurance.
 Champions of the move for local fire engine are using this incident as another example of their claim that timely arrival of some sort of serv- ice Is more valuable than late and more extensive apparatus.
