Burning Cob Pile
Causes Two Fire
Runs On Weekend

A huge corn cob pile at the
Shaw Elevator on West High ST.,
was the scene of two fires over the
weekend and nearby residents are
protesting the presence of the pile
and its consequent hazards.
According to resident who re-
sides on South Madison Road,
here, the smoke from the smolder-
ing fire is a menace to health and
property and steps are being taken
to prevent a reoccurrance of such
a fire. Monday the fire was still
smoking and burning freely al
though London firemen poured
thousands of gallons of water on
the big pile of cobs. A smoke pail
hung over much of the south end
of town Sunday but a slight
breeze Monday helped to clear the
air.
Housewives living near the ele-
vator complained bitterly that
smoke and dirt from the fire were
soiling laundry and causing much
extra housework. One resident
said that he will take petition to
the London City Council which
will ask that further dumping of
cobS be prohibited.
The elevator operators said that
they did not set the fire but be-
lieved that boys playing nearby
may have set the blaze.
