ITerrace Electric

Plant Burned |
‘Sunday N ‘ight

“The Terrace Electric Plant: was de-
stroyed completely by fire just after
midnight on Sunday. . Here is the story

‘by our own reporter —

The strenk of bad luck that hag fdi-
Jowed the Terrace ‘Lighting plant’ for
‘the past few months canie to a cul-
mination on Monday morning at 12.15
Gordon Kerr,
the plant ‘until midnight, and shutting
down at that time went home to bed.

Fifteen minutes nfter Mra. J. Bs
Aguy who lives x just south of the plant
atic ‘cd 1 glare on the west windows
of her homeand looking out saw the
Hower honse in flames. She immed-
iately rushed out nid turned’ on the
{ive siren at the store of BE. T. Keriney,
Lid., Jack Agar, brother of Commis-
sioner J. B. Agar, was the first mau
on the scene and when he arrived ‘the
thumes were covering the whole bufld-
ing, giving no chance to ferm an opin-
ion as to Where the blaze had started.
: Gordon Kerr had just got in bed and
he was soon on the scene after the first
glarm sounded. In avery short t#ne
a goad fighting force of the local resi-
dents ere engnged in keeping the fire

‘twithin’ bounds. *

Tt was. evident fram the fivst ‘that
‘nothing could be done to save the plant
nud the main‘work was done in saving
J. B. Agii’s garage which almost: was
in touch with the power plant building
to the enst. The Municipal fire fight-
ing equipment was: quickly on the
scene and hose lines ran -on the’ roof
of the sarge ‘and nround the west:
will. The first hase to come ‘into
way spluttered and clogged up with |.
sediment which had been carried into
the water system by recent heavy
‘vains. ‘Other: hose lines were turned

of the west wall of the garage being
badly scorched’ (it waa in flames for
some time) the building was saved.

Ten minutes ‘after alarm the power
plant building collapsed to the west.
The supports had been cut to allow ‘it
to fall that way. .
five there was no wind, and the air was
‘filled with a light fog. The absence
of wind -helped the fighters and was
undoubtédlywhy all the other buildings
in-the nelghhorhoad were saved.

As the plant had just shut down the
new heat quickly. branght the steam up
to working LTessnze, nud shortly after
that the steum was released by the
srfety valve, and this ‘aided is extin-
euishingthe flames, White the “boiler
‘dows not seem to have been budly dam-
aged the desel engine and both genera-
tors were ruined. “Tt is understood the
