1,600 HOMELESS Home Owner [Fails To Keep Squirrels N SO0 FRE o Nibins oo 249 Buildings, Housing One- Twelfth of Population in Auburn, Me., Razed. By the Associated Press. AUBURN, Me, May 16—Restora- tion of a gaping hole in its new Auburm section, where 249 buildings, including the homes of one-twelfth the city’s population, were destroyed by fire yes- terday, with loss exceeding $1,000,000, ‘was the problem facing this city toda; The homeless, most of whom were workers in the mills of Lewiston, across the Androscoggin River, were estimated by City Manager Frederick W. Ford to number between 1,400 and 1,600. Most Aided by Relatives. Most of the victims, possibly three- quarters of their number, Ford esti- mated, had found shelter todsy with Telatives and friends in other sections of the city. The others were being cared for by relief agencies. Four companies of National Guards- men, serving as civil officers, still patrolled the fire-swept district. The fire was Maine's second con- flagration in a little more than a week. A large part of the city of Ellsworth was destroyed May 7 by & $2,000,000 fire of incendiary origin. Officials scouted reports that Au- burn’s blaze was caused by a pyro- maniac. City Manager Frederick W. Ford said he believed an oil or gaso- line blast in the garage where the fire originated was responsible. Wind Spreads Fire. The fire was spread by a northeast wind of 30 to 40 mile velocity. Auburn, located 30 miles north of Portland, has a population of approxi- mately 15,000. Lewiston, second city in the State, with a population of 35,000, is separated from Auburn by the Androscoggin River. The “twin cities” house a large part of the manufacturing plants of the State—mostly shoe plants and cotton and woolen mills.

Thompson through some bewildering reams of red tape yestertiay when she unsuccessfully sought to | dislodge them from her home. ‘ 8ince early Spring Mirs. Thompson had been annoyed by the squirrels gnawing at the beams scampering along the eaves of her; home, but be- came quite wrathful ishen she found their constant gnawing had made it necessary to have the roof repaired. She took her troubles to Game War- den Edward Townsend. He informed her she would need » special permit from the conservatiogq department at Albany to do away with the squirrels and then the killing ‘would have to be done on her own property while the squirrels were actually nibbling. Yesterday she retcived the permit and hurried to the / police department i to_obtain permissiop to discharge her! witpin the city limits. rned dhat under no cir- cumstances could a{rifle be fired within the city. Back to ‘Warden -Townsend with her troubles, Mrs. Thcanpson was told the warden would con:fyier permitting traps to be set up in the Thompson yard. %(u:‘nwhfle the squirrels continued nib- s -—e MIMIC /4R BATTLE — MARCH FIEL)), RIVERSIDE, Calit., | May 16 (#).—A, mimic air battle with 300 planes everdy divided into two op- posing forces vmis scheduled today for ships of the Aymy Air Corps concen- trated here for annual maneuvers.
