Stubborn Blaze
Keeps Waterville
Firemen Working

Waterville firmen were called out
to fight a stubborn blaze yesterday
afternoon when the house at 1915
Green street, owned by Pierre Gagne
of Green street, and occupid by John
Martin and family George Doucette
and family caught fire from a defec-
tive chimney, badly damaging the
upper part of the house. The six
Doucette children were nat at home
at the time of the fire and there
were no injuries. The loss was about
$500 and there was partial insur-
ance.
The blaze was first noticed by a
neighbor who called the police sta
ton. The alarm was relayed to the
fire station and the call. SO for the
box at the Lockwood storeheuse was
sounded at ITO o'clock.
BY the time that the firemen ar
rived the blade had worked it's way
into the small attic of the house and
as there were larger houses on each
side close to the burning building
the fire was very difficult to get at.
Three lines of hose were laid and,
although the firemen were hamper
ed by the very dense clouds of smoke
which arose, as soon as holes had
been cut in the roof the blaze was
subdued. The furnishings on the
lower floor of the house were con-
siderably damaged by water.

ing II as well as the orchestra to
Boston this year. Early in the fall
a midnight revue was given at
which $681.S5 was taken in, the ex-,
pense amounted to $52.75 leaving a
net of $629.10. To this was added
$4,000 from the club treasury and
the sum Of $4,000 was paid for the
uniforms for the band. During this
year the sum Of $85.a2 has also been
paid out for additional uniforms.
This makes a total which has been
expended in cash for the Band and
Orchestra of $857.03 of which $751;
SO has been taken from the club
treasury. This also does not take
into account the many hours of time
which was given to the work of
preparing the midnight revue, the
sale of tickets. and other necessary
arrangements. that go to make up
an event of this kind.
II believe that you will all agree
with me that this has been time and
money well expended, as it has GER
tainly done much to. further the in
terests of music, not only In the
High school but in the grade schools
where many budding musicians are
already looking forward to playing

all, and that he found them all in
good condition, and going forward
in the ideals of Kiwanis. During his
visitations he has Travelled over 12.-

s101.60; Bus from Arena to Com
mon, $500: Tickets for May Fesri-
val, $4.75. Total $70S.11.
ITO the above should be added the
expenses of the club representa- tive
to Boston amounting to S25.12 so
that the actual cost to he club of
the trip in money paid out amounts
to SELL. This of course takes no
account Of the time given by the
various members in the sale of tic
kets. the arrangements for the OPP
era House and other things con-
nected with the May Festival. the
special car and the reduced rates for
the trip to Boston. the sale of tic

year when the orchestra went to
Boston a concert was given at which
the sum of s110 was secured by the

Tenement House
Was Total Loss

Early morning investigation of the
damage caused by the fire in the two
tenement house at So Church street
Tuesday morning showed that the
two buildings was so badly Quilted
that in all probability it will be nee
essary to tear it down. The alarm
was sent in at two o'clock in the
morning and the blaze proved
stubborn one, requiring three hours
labor on the part of the firemen to
extinguish it. The tenement was oc-
cupied by Theodore Marshall, in the
lower fiat. and Mrs. Emma Kelley in
the upstairs tenement.
