Much of the damage was to the contents, fire, water and smoke all contributing to the loss caused to many of the occupants of the building. The fire broke out in the north- west corner of the block, between the floor of the third storey and the ceiling of the second, and took the greatest toll in the dental offices of Doctors Davies and Langmaid, where it originated, in the offices of Park- hill 'and Field; barristers, immediate- ly overhead, and in the dental office of Dr. Arnott, all of these being dam- aged by the fire. Other offices which suffered largely irom smoke and water were those of Cassels, Biggar, Turner and Craw- ford on the second floor, where th: wall was also torn down in fighting the fire, the offices of the Pruden- tial Life" Insurance Company on: tha inspection department -of the Hydro- Electric Power Commission-on the fourth floor. Owing to the nature of the fire, which was confined "to onic corner of the block, and shot right ap from. the second storey and through the roof; it was hard to-fight, and Fire Chief Elliott is still at a loss as to the exact. cause, although various theories are being put for- ward. Discovered By Cashier The fire was first observed at 6.43 this morning, when Miss Winnifred Tonkin, cashicr at the Traymore Sa- varin, which occupies the ground floor of the building, notided smoke com- ing from the upper floors, and im- mediately turned in the alarm to the fire department, The firemen made 3 quick response with every man or duty, including one ex-fireman, in the person of E. Brown, On reaching the building the upper floors were found to be filled with smoke, but all the doors were locked, and it was only after the janitor, Steve Bugye and Fire Chief Elliott had braved the smoke: that these were opened and it. was possible to start fighting "the fire, which had caught a good hold, in earnest, _ The fire 'was found to be located in a box, containing the sewer vent pipe, which runs all the way up the north west corner of the building, an:i it had also spread out along the floors and walls of the second and third stories.
