 spreading to the ropf, broke out at 

 5:30 Monday morning, February 5, at 

 the establishment of Dingee & Conard 

 Co., West Grove, Pa. The alarm was

 had made considerable headway before 

 the borough fire company arrived; a 

 good stream of water could not be ob- 

 tained because of the zero weather. 

 The central shed, water works and heat- 

 ing works of just one block of eighteen 

 houses were put out of commission,
