Runs In London Thursday
Contents OF Home
Are Destroyed

Fire Chief Speed Andrews re-
ported that the London Fire De-
partment was called to the home
of Carmel Van Hoose Jr., on
Thursday at 3:15 pm. Fire of un-
determined origin had started in
the small house in the rear of II
Graham Avenue and threatened to
get out of control The chief and
volunteer firemen succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames, but only
after the entire contents of the
home were destroyed Andrews
said no official estimate of the
loss was given, but that the owner
stated there was no insurance on
the property.
A report that two small children
were in the house at the time of
the starting of the fire was denied
by the family and witnesses, said
the chief.
AT about $50 pm Thursday, the
fire department was called to the
excavation site on East First ST.,
where workmen are digging in the
street. A gas main had leaked and
the fumes caught, apparently from
the warning signals set out around
the excavation. This blaze was
quickly brought under control,
with no damage reported.
