Firemen Organize Bucket Briâ€" gade Until Foresters Arrive With Pump. Five boat houses on the Mattagzami river bank were burned last night. The fire, which started from an as yet undetermined cause, is believed to have done damage to buildings and equipment in the neigbourhood of $2,000. Five boats and four motors were among the ruined equipment. The blaze could be seen all over the town. It coloured the sky in that area and most people thought the Riverside Pavilion was on fire. The boat houses were located on the other side of Frjlham Creek, immediately across from the Pavilion. Owners of the boat houses were as follows: James A. Tapper, 36 Cambrai Avenue; William Spencer, 34 Messines Avenue; Vaughan H. Baker, 165 Spruce street North; and John Ristimaki, 25 Commercial Avenue. ‘One of the boat nouses was double. Officials had no reâ€" cord of who the fifth boat owner was. There were boats in all five boat houses, firemen said. They managed to save the motor and most of the equipment in only one house, but even in that building, the boat was burned. Two and a Half Miles from Timmins. Land Excellent for Garden Purposes.
