alarm of fire
0„ Saturday afternoon shortly alter 2 o’clock the fire hell rang an alarm when it was found a file had started in a shop in Aylmer Street, owned by Mr A. W. I’cehles. lln Brigade were on the scene within two munites and quickly extinguished the flames. The fire had a good start when discovered and had it a start of another few minutes may have proved rather serious.
The building had not been entered f or several days and it is difficult to imagine how the lire started especially as the seat of the lire was right in the building some 10 or 12 teet from the door.
Tim building itself did not suffer much damage but a considerable amount of stock was burned.
