Ut 8.20 a tie on the elevated struc- ture at Pacific Street and Miathush Avenue caught fire, It wasn't much, @nd a call was sent in for a hook and ladder, Before the apparatus reached the place, however, a fireman off duty boarded a Culver line train at the Atlantic Avenue station and or the motorman to proceed slowly to blaze. With a fire extingutsher car No f the train to play the chemical on the burning tie, But with the first bull of the handle the thing came ty pieces, No amount of coaxing would make it work and he gave it up, The point is this all cars to be equ autshers.
