Fire Destroys Kremer Bros Cash Store and Nearby Shops
Early Tuesday a blaze destroyed the Cash Store of Kremer Bros and Lipp, Alex Bosch bowling alley and pool hall, and Dr. Smiths photo gallery and dental office. Winnie notified the fire hall, flames spread to adjacent buildings, and the opera house roof caught fire. Insurance covered most but not all losses. Dr. Smith had no contents insurance. Rebuilding plans are unsettled as area businesses assess damage and ownership debates trace back to local ordinances and city reorganization.
