More than 100 firemen brought 3 the searing flames under control early today after the area had been cleared of people and equip ment. Police planned to keep the area clear of pedestrian and ve. hicle traffic today. Firemen said it was possible the weakened walls would crumble anytime. No official estimate of damage was likely to be available for some time but several unofficial estimates by authoritative sources placed it at $1,000.000 or more. There were no serious casual ties. One fireman received six stitches to close a cut from broken glass and three others were treated for minor burns All businesses and offices in the building itself were a com- plete loss, They were Pond's Drug Store, People's Credit Jewellers Limited, Bell's Coffee Shop, and Sportland, a sporting goods store The upper storeys of the build- ing contained 23 offices A passing policeman noticed smoke in the drugstore about 10 p.m. and summoned the fire de- partment.
