Sixteen Fire Calls Keep Firemen Busy All Day
Sixteen fire calls were answered by the fire department Tuesday with only two cases causing meaningful damage. E. A Cole at 214 Cooper Street suffered about 6000 dollars in damage, and two African American families on Holliard Street saw about 300 dollars in losses. J W Johnson’s roof fire at 66 West Peachtree Street occurred around 1115, and by 1250 the department returned to Hol Shaws residence at 18 West Peachtree Street for another blaze. Minor damage resulted from both, thanks to quick firefighting. Firemen blamed the day’s many blazes on strong winds and defective dues.
