caused smoke damage TO the
fourth. From the managements
standpoint the cause OF the fire is
also undetermined.
Construction cost OF the four
damaged apartments was over
$4,000 and final estimated loss will
be even greater when the loss Of
personal belongings is approximat-
ed. The fire originated IN apart
ment 1928 and spread quickly to
the. adjoining apartments.
The two apartments which were
almost totally destroyed were occu-
pied by Mrs. Corene Battle and her
child, and Mr. and Mrs. Raymond

Temper rily, Mrs. Battle is stay
ing with some friends in the area,
and the Martins have occupied an
apartment on Oakum Court. Mr.

child, whose apartment was dam
aged by smoke, have moved to an
other apartment on woburn Court.
Occupants Of the fourth apartment,
Mr. and Mrs. John Thimble, and
their child, will not establish new
quarters in the area and they had
informed the management of their
plan to move before the fire occur
red.
Norman HOLDEN. projects service
advisor, who aided in caring for the
families who had been burned out
of their homes said that this fire
should drive home the fact that the
wooden structures are inflammable
and that residents must abide by
fire precautionary measures. Some
of the measures which must be
stressed are keeping stoves from
becoming overheated, properly dis
posing of oily rags and papers that
might cause spontaneous combus-
ton. placing matches out OF the
reach of youngsters, and using cleo.
trio appliance connections correct,

Fire prevention signs with timely
warnings are being made under the
direction of Martin Metal. assistant
director Of project services. These
will be placed in every trailer, dor
