Sprinkler Prevents Greater Fire Loss at South Boston Building
A sprinkler head blew on the top floor of 253 25 A street South Boston yesterday morning causing four floors to flood. Water escaped doors and windows at 1 30 delaying work for about two hours. Five establishments in the building faced losses though the sprinkler saved a much larger total. The top floor housed Hovey and Harding and the second floor National Machine Tool Company. The Hatden Peninsular Manufacturing Company and Clark and Roberts occupied lower levels with J F Ridley Manufacturing at the rear. The building is owned by the Factory Building Trust Company with C E Cotting as agent.

At a regular meeting of the Central Labor Union in Wells Memorial Hall Boston, members denounced Mayor Hart for abolishing the electrical and repair divisions. A five member committee was appointed to investigate Captain William Brophy s report on the electrical division and to seek the mayor s reasons for ending the repair division.
