FITCHBURC FIRE
 WILL BE COSTLY

Fltchburg, Mass, May l5--(UP)- Damage variously estimated at $l5,- 900 to $l00,000 resulted early today from fire that destroyed two Thom- son-street buildings and for time menaced nearby oil farms.
 Flames ruined valuable lumber owned by Webber Lumber Com. pany and stored machinery of the Blake Pump Company and Freder- ick c. Smith. The lumber and ma- chinery were in @ long, two-story wooden structure that was levelled.
 Other stored machinery owned by William Savage in an adjacent building likewise was damaged.
 Police officials believed that $l6,- GOO would cover all the damage However, Smith, seriously i'll at his home, declared that damage to his property alone would approximate $75,000. If this was correct, fire of . ilcials said, total damage might reach $l00,000.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-05-15

Connecticut's six radio stations, two of which are located in Water bury, realized $5O2,3O4 in revenue for the sale of time during 1885, 1t was disclosed today with the receipt by the Chamber of Commerce of the first report from the business cerl- sus. It is the first census data ever made public on the broadcasting business.
 The report reveals that local ad- vertisers did less to support sta- tions in Connecticut than in New England generally. Of the total revenue from the sale of time more than 50 per cent came from local advertisers in the six states as a group compared with only 36 per cent in Connecticut.
 179 Employed
 The six Connecticut stations en- ployed an average of 170 workers paying them $339, ,194 in full time and $57,900 in part time wages per year.
 Total receipts of the 36 stations in New England amounted to $3,- 664,687. Although the report is called preliminary" because 1t is not in as great detail as will be con- tained in subsequent final reports, 1t includes all broadcast stations in the New England states, of which there are IA in Massachusetts, 5 in Maine, 5 in Vermont, 3 in Rhode Island, and 3 in New Hampshire as

MICHIGAN FIRM
 GIVEN DECISION
Awarded Damages of $l,- 770 Against Eastern
 Wood Products Co.

The Brown Dimension Co, of Manstigue, Mich., is awarded dam- ages of 91,778.34 against the East- ern Wood Products O., Inc, of this city, in Q decision handed down today by Judge Edward J. Finn of the court of common pleas. The case was tried early this week.
 Suit was brought by the Michi- gan concern when the local com pany aIlegedly refused to accept a shipment of lumber that 1t had con- tracted for. The lumber is now in a local storehouse, where 1t was transferred after demurrer charges had piled up at the freight office here.
 Judge Finn finds that the order was originaly for lumber priced at $20l0 and that the sum of $500 was paid on account, leaving a balance of $l5l0 which he holds the plain tiff should collect from the local company. He also awards the Brown Dimension O., e07 for demurrage charges, $55 for loading exxpenses and $l1600 for interest on the amount due from the time the shipment arrived m Waterbury last spring.
 A ruling is given in favor of the plaintiff on cross-complaint brought by the defendant.
 The defense's contention was that the lumber was ordered to fill rush job for Q New York firm, but that the shipment arrived too late.
