Gutted By Fire Fridayiéiffimm Damage estimated at close to $50,000 resulted from a fire which smoldered three hours in the heart of Weston's business section last Thursday at rush hour. Neighbouring fire and policc departments were called in to assist in fighting the fire and cop- ing with the heavy traffic. The fire is reported tc have started in the year of tho Weston Hardware located in the brick Eagle House building at the north- east corner of Lawrence Ave. and Main Street in Weston; then it spread to the Jordan's watch repair shop next door and climbed up the south wall of a frame and plaster block of five stores. Travelling inside the walls, the fire went up to the second floor where it spread through the billiard hall and right scrosg the whole roof of the block. Damage to the frame structure which is about 100 years old was extensive and Works Superintendent Ron Weir thought that the building wav damaged structurally and it was unlikely that permission would be granted to repair it. If a permit were given for repairs, the cost of such repairs to make the structure meet present building and fire codes would be as much as the uon- struction of a new block he contended. At the regular meeting of" Weston council on Monday, night the municipal council '; ordered a .rul1 report on the fire from the tire chief, E. McGinnis/ and from the works superin-'l sentient, R. J. Wejr. Although the'fire began in the hardware storc, the fire was halted there as tar as the Eagle House was concerned but there was smoke damage to parts ot the building. Mire was extinguished.
