from the west side. Two trucks owned by the grain company were out at the time.
 Roadway of the firemen was blocekd because of the grain and piles of bags which were stored in a section of the building. After much ot 1t was removed, the fire men were able to locate the heart of the fire. A ,Et- |
 William Brush, manager of the concern which is a branch of the Yantic Grain & Produce O., of Norwich, attributed the fire as be- ing due to defective wiring. He claimed the fire did not start near where section of the building was heated by stove fire. A check by Chief Sheridan revealed these state- lnents to be true MT. Brush esti- mated the damage, covered by in- surar1ce would amount to about $15,000.
 Freight cars nearby which were loaded with grain and other pro- duce, were not damaged by the flames. The firemen kept these cars well soaked with water. The flames spread rapidly because they were famed by a high wind.
 The building is one of the older landmarks in Union City. It Is sit- uated south of the Bridge street bridge on high hill. Because ot this fact, residents could see the flames from neatly every section ot Naugetuck and Union City.
