Mysterious Explosions and Fire
AT East Side Ice Plant Probed

were confrcnted by flames
shooting rs feet In the air
when they arrived. Under d.
rection of Assistant Fire Chief
3. l. Buck. the firemen pre-
vented the flying sparks from
igniting nearby homes.
The building was originally con-
structed on a stock-promotion deal,
but was not opened as a brewery,
as intended.
Instead, IL was taken over by the
ice and storage firm. Recently
about $4,000 worth Of used brewery
equipment was installed. CONNER
cial operations started on a minor
scale, and the first beer was de-
livered only last week. Little of the
shell-like structure was left stand
ing by the blaze. The firm carried
some insurance. officials reported.
The Metropolitan store blaze was
discovered a short time before the
opening hour Thursday. and appar-
emily broke out after burning low
for hours.
Employees OF the store said the
current had been turned off over
night, but the blaze started in the
part Of the store where the peanut
stand was located. on the south
side of the building about so feet
from the Broadway entrance.
Damage TO stock amounted
to $4,000, the rest Of the dam
age affected the building. The
loss was fully covered by In
surance, fire officials said.
A janitor in Rhodes Bros. store
discovered the blaze. and an alarm
was flashed at 6:14 a. m.
The smouldering blaze caused a
concentration Of heat that blistered
paint on the walls and counters a
distance from the fire
itself. Lack Of ventilation pre-
vented the fire from breaking into
fun blaze before firemen arrived
and had IL under control.

Another Budget
Slash Necessary

Resuming their special sessions
in Mayor Gains office Thursday
afternoon. city commissioners
hoped to slice a little deeper into
the preliminary budget for 1871 to
bring il down to the 1910 level
Estimated receipts for 1szl give
no assurance Of any more money
being available for city govern
ment than was available for this
year. State liquor fund receipts
are the only revenue that gives
promise Of being materially higher
than this year.
At 4 session Thursday morning
some progress was made toward
bringing figures down to the cur
rent years level Safety Commits
sioner Eastwood yielded about
$50 900 out Of the nearly 500. 900
increase he had proposed in his de-
partment's budget: Mayor Cain
conceded further cuts and gener-
ally the department figures were
whacked down fairly close to the
1910 level.
The budget in its completed form
must be ready for publication next
Monday. The controller has two
weeks then to complete detailed
compiling before the bulky docu-
ment comes up. Oct. 7. for final
hearing and adoption within five
days.
