 The structure measuring 30 by 50 feet, consisted of an open basement where trucks could back into and load, and Q two story super-Struc- ture above. It was completely ablaze within ten minutes after the fire was discovered. A small office and storage shed near the Main street was only partly burned.

At the rear of the de- stroyed building were two New Haven road freight cars, one filled with new shipment of coal, and Q larger one for feed, partly emptied. Bremen soaked the open coal car thoroughly, and prevented the coal from burning.
 Among the first to send in an alarm was James Lonerga1, watch. man for the Oakville Pin Company, across the railroad tracks, who said he spotted the flames rising from the north end of the feed Store- house ct il:02 o'clock.

A number of men have been ordered transferred from WpA jobs here to the Dead Mans curve project and some of these have been refused work there, be- ing told they are not wanted.
 This results In taking steps to reinstate them on WPA and very often the time taken for this process amounts to Q couple of days pay for which the men lose.
 The warden feels this Is not fair to the employees, who need all the pay they are allowed, and who are In no way to blame for the situa: ton, The warden has made several trips to Hartford in an endeavor to straighten out such matters but has met with little success. once he was informed he might have to take the matter to the Boston of- flee.
 Usually the transfer Is made when workers are asked for pWA jobs but in many cases, not all of those requested have been given work.
