HARRINGTON
Fircmcn Gct Two Calls.
Damage Slight in Each Case,


Excitement prevailed here shurtl,
: before 10 O'Clock Saturday mornin,
|, when the fire siren screamed on
calling the fire company to IA fire il
the rear of the business section OF
Commerce street. A small frame
shed in the rear of the E. S. Reese
block used as storage shed anC
: also houses a Delco plant that fur.
nished light for the II. NJ Black
ladies wearing apparel store. When
the tiremen arrived the interior oi
the shed was blazing fiercely. There
seems to be some question as to how
the fire started. the Eastern Shore
Public Service Company has Il store
room and office in the same block
next to the Black store, and it was
said that their employees were burn
ing rubbish in the yard, a rubbish
can contained fire that was also
cxtinguished before the iiremen left.
-Four years ago this same shed
caught fire from the DclcO plant and
three years ago Il fire started in the
printing office destroyed several
buildings and ruined much stock i'm
this section. Since that time how
ever, modern buildings have re-
placed that destroyed by fire. The
firemen were about ready to return
to quarters when they were sum-
moned to the I. D. Short Lumber
Company. Smoke was pouring from
the doors and windows of the office.
A slight blaze starting in the base
ment. from the heater, was burning
the iOists and floor above. The fire
men soon eXtinguishcd this blaze
with the booster hose. The damage
at both fires will not exceed $500.
Councilman Leonard Harrington
himself an active member of the fire
company eXtinguishcd chimney
fire at the home of Fred Bloom, S.
Commerce street, Friday morning,
without calling out the fire company.
