Firemen Did Good Work At Summerside

Early discovery by member-l q! the Police Force and good work by the Fire Department saved the wooden building uf Maritime Distributors, Summerside, tvhcrq fire was discovered early Saturday morning, from bring a total loss. As it is. it is pretty well gutted rind it would likely be necessary to tear down the north end be- iore rebuilding it.

The monetary loss may be high due to the valuable machinery in the Palmer and Williams Co. Ltd. tnoclllne shop. At present the lnihes and olhcr pic-cos of cqulp- ment are enclosed in a thick coating of ice. Mr. A. W. Palmer estimates that if the machinery should turn out to be useless the total loss sustained might read: 835.000. However if most of it. can

re

be salvaged the loss will de- crease consldcrably. A consider- able amount of electrical and

plumbing equipment was also des- troyed or damaged. 'l‘herc was no wood for boat building stored in the building us previously rc- ported.

The origin of the fire has not been determined. The building was originally built by Palmer and Williams Co.. Ltd.. as a machine shop for thoil‘ boat building act- ivities and they iverc still occupy- ing most of it. Last spring it was purchased by Mr. Hazcn Phillips for the newly organized wholesale finm known as Maritime Distri- butors Lid. of which ho is the president. Mr. Phillips had his office in the building but no stock.

Some X-ray equipment owned by the Prince County Hospital. which had been purchased from War Assets Inc. was stored in the building and is believed to be badly damaged-S.
