Fire at Cambridge lumber shed destroys large stock on W H Howland wharf

A Sunday fire at the W H Howland lumber shed on Prison Point Bridge Street Cambridge destroyed about 400000 feet of lumber valued at $15,000 and a car of soap boxes. Incendiary origin left extensive damage across the wharf with loss estimated at 50,000 to 60,000, aided by rapid winds and multiple railroad cars. Fireboats Flanders and Protector helped, hydrants were hard to reach, and crews worked overnight under Chief Casey.
