New House Burns Firemen Unable To Save It
A new frame dwelling at the junction of Louisiana avenue and East Malin street near the Buntington turnpike burned last night. Owner William Clark, a foreman for P M Faulkner, had just completed the house which was unoccupied. Fire officials said an incendiary started the blaze. Valued at 3500 dollars, it was insured for under 1500. Firemen arrived with limited chemical fluid and no nearby hydrants, but could not stop the fire from destroying the structure, which lay beyond the Second district line limiting fire protection. Residents urged extending the district line to provide protection and questioned high insurance costs without coverage.
