Mr. Alvin Webb is the postmas- tcrnsnd has rendered wonderful service at all times.

As mentioned previous in this article, O‘Leary is a very busy spot on Satul-day- nights, for it ls on those evenings that farmers and their families gather. The young- er generation go of-f to the shows while the older folk buy rhelr weekly supply of groceries. and talk over the weekly happenings with their many friends they meet on the street or in the sMres. To the majority of folk living in a lb- 20 mile radius oi this village, the week is not ended properly unless they get to O’Leary on Saturday night, coming in their cars, bug- gles or in trucks.

In winter hockey is the main sport and OLeary boasts a fine team. ‘This team is noted for their sportsmanship and can lose a game in the same spirit in which they win, although when talking to a fan, you will be in- formed that this team seldom loses.

Something worth mentioning a- bout O'Leary is that it is the only place in P. E. I. that gives a l0 per cent discount on groceries to clergyman. With all these facts 01185-7)’ is without a doubt one of the finest communities in Can- ada and one that the villagers can be truly proud to say 1‘! Come from O‘Leary."

‘This approximate date forty-two years ago will long be remembered by the citizens. especially ti’: old- er ones. cf Summercide, for t wan on October 10th, 1906, that the worst fire ln the history of the town. if not in the Province. look place.

The firs, starting about l0 p.m., presumably from incendiary origin. lnjhe railway freight shad, burnt continually throughout the nigh! burning over an area of some 23 acres, destroying 162 buildings. leaving over 100 families homeless. Among those destroyed were the electric light plant. 3 churches. the Baptist on Spring Street. the An- glican Church. St. Mary's and hall on Church Street. and the Christ- ian Baptist Church on Central Street. Also the large "Willow" hall on Summer Street. north of post office. three hotels. and large number oi fine residences.

The urea deltroyed covered the lower part of Water Street. east of where Coyle's restaurant now ls, and from one to three blocks of dwellings north of Water Street. crossing Granville. Spring, Summer. and Central Streets. the last bulld- llg to burn being the court house on west side of Central Street.

Fireman's Efforts

Had not the firemen used frantic efforts to save the Coyle building. opposite the station. the loss would have been very much greater. This being a high wooden building and all the buildings between it and the Bruce block on the north side being of wood and closely joined to one another.

Anotherfactor in saving the Methodist Church and probably a large area beyond it was the open space o! the Public Gardens, as area was narrowed own considerably at that point.

The fire department, which at that time. consisted of the steam engines, Beaver. and two small hand engines manned by about 40 or 50 men. were greatly handicap- ped for water after leaving the waterfront area. At that time the only water supply was a number of underground tank: at various corners but as soon as they were pumped dry the firemen were help- lens at that point.

Shortly after the fire got beyond control a call was sent to Char- lottetown for help and a special train with firemen and a steam fire engine was rushed to Summer- slde and while they also were han- dicapped due to luck of water, were instrumental in saving the Pres- byterian Church of’ North Market Street as well as several residences. During the time of the fire a strong gale was blowing from the south east so strong that on fol- lowing day parts of burnt shingles were picked up at St. Eleanor's, some 2 miles away. ,

Tho question of installing a water and sewerage system had often been dlscusseddiut it was not until alter the fire oi 1906 that any move wag made in that direction. in 1907 a contract was awarded Morrison and Clark for construction lo! same which was mpleted in 1908 or 1909.
