Loss is Several Thousand Dolâ€" lars Partially Covered by Inâ€" FIRE DESTROYS TERRY BLOCK A disastrous fire entailing a loss of several thousand dollars occurred at Waterloo on Wednesday evening shortâ€" ly after twelve o‘clock, when _ the Terry Block and fruit store of Tony Longo on King strees were partially destroyed. The fire started in the drying room of the apartments occuâ€" pied by the Chinese laundry, a Chinaman being burned about the face and hands in an endeavor to gave some of his belongings. ‘ The fire gained considerable . headâ€" way beiore the alarm was sounded, the whole rear of the building being ablaze and threatened to spread to the blacksmith shop adjoining, it beâ€" ing some time alter the arrival of the fire brigade before the fire was gotâ€" ten under control. The building was a frame one and burned ffercely. The whole roof and smaller buildings atâ€" tached to the main building were destroyed, besides damage to the contents by fire and water. Mr. Wm. Terry, who owns the porâ€" tion of the building occupied by himâ€" self as a store and sleeping apartâ€" ments; Seyler‘s repair shop, and the Chinese laundry, estimates his loss on contents at between $500 and $600 and $1500 loss on building, which is partially covered by insurance. The remainder is owned by. Tony Longo, his loss being several hundred dollars. The fruit in the store was not damâ€" aged, although the upper apartments were burnt. He carried no insurance. The only . damage sustained by Mr. Seyler was By water. The W. M. S.

Now, 1 do not wish to be underâ€" stood that I object to the byâ€"law for public utilities, at‘ present pending, for we all equally benefit from this and others of a like character, and all loyal and progressive ratepayers are willing to vote for _ reasonable improvements of Tthat nature. Latterâ€" Iy, however, it has seemed to be the casiest thing possible for anyone with otâ€"withoutâ€"claims, to ~approach â€"the Council and gain‘ a hearing on the subject of establishing new industrics in our town, providing its ratepayers are willing to beseech them to accept a large donation to assist them in so doing: A number of these byâ€"laws have of late been defeated, it is true, but who shoulders the expenses â€" in connection with the submitting of each one? Who pays for the lfgal‘ work of constructinz them, the printâ€" er‘s ink, which is wasted, but must nevertheless be paid for, the poll clerks and last, but not least, â€"the carriages which are so much in eviâ€" dence en those occasions. _ An estiâ€" _mate of from $100 to $125 for each sone would likely be well within the mrirk. Is it fair to load this on the unbuspecting public® do not wish to appear to fni fgult just tor the "In of the thinz‘" for the cares and responsibitities _ of those who setve th> public interests of the town are distracting cnough without wantonly add‘ng to them.
