Berlin, being as it is, a model New England town and having an atmos- phere that is becoming rare in this day, should try to preserve as much as possible, the neatnéss and clean. liness that has always marked it. ated at requiem high mass.

Live Wire Down Officer James Keith reported to the headquarters at 12:30 a. m. to- fday that there was a live wire down on the sidewalk in front of the fire station near the corner of North Main and North streets. Employes the Bristol and Plainville Electric Jo. were sent to make repairs, which were completed before any lamage resulted Fire Destroys Ice House Fire, which broke out ahout 9:20 | last night, totally destroyed an ice house owned by Douglass Bros. and Thomas N. Ryan on Brook street, Forestville. The Dougl Bros. owned the original structure and a new addition and the ice was owned by Mr. Ryan. The entire property was under lease to Mr. Ryan with the privilege of huying, The fire had gained considerable headway before it was discovered and by the time Welech Fire com- pany, Squad A and Engine company No. rrived the bullding was a mass of flames; 1,600 feet of hose was laid by Welch Flre company and their pumper was in operation for three hours. Engine company No. 2 was sent to Stafford avenue, one block away, to protect houses and other buildings, due to sparks being carried by the high winds. Mr. Ryan estimated his loss roughly last eveping at about $3,000, but this estimate is felt to be very couservative as about 1,000 tons of ice were destroyed. The loss of the Douglass Brothers will probably to- tal $1,000. The ice contained in the building was covered by insurance, but the structure itself was uninsured. The cause of the fire had not bevn determined up to noon today. Tt is thought that someone in the habit of securing his ice supply gratis each night, had carelgssly thrown a match or cigarette butt into the dry saw dust, Hottest Day In Year Yesterday was the hottest day of the summer, thegmometers reaching the high peak of 102 in the shade. Thousands of people during the afternoon took advantage of the bathing facilities at Rockwell park, Lake Compounce and Malone Lake and many remained in the water un- til the thunder shower, which hit the city about 9:15 p. m., drove them under cover. All factories in the city closed at noon en account of the intense heat and many offices throughout the city permitted their employes to take a half holiday. Thefe is no record of any heat prostrations having occurred, al- though such cases might have been numerous if the factorles had con- tinued to operate.
