The buildings destroyed were: Montgomery’s General Store where the fire started, the loss $8000; Mont­ gomery’s house, loss $2000; Robt. McKenzie’s hardware store, loss $8000; Lorne McKenzie’s garage, loss $7000; Rivett's Restaurant and hotel, loss $3000. There was also damage done to the Telephone office as well as to some of the poles and wiring. 400 telephones were put out of commission. It was the most ser­ ious fire that Dungannon has exper­ ienced in fifty years and it was fear­ ed for some time that the entire vil­ lage would be wiped out as a strong­ wind was blowing at the time. The arrival of help from Kincardine, Au­ burn, Lucknow and Blyth probably saved a much more serious conflagra­ tion. The pumper from Kincardine soon -emptied the cisterns and was then supplied with water from a large drainage sewer that was running full due to the spring freshets. The use of the Kincardine pump saved, it is said, the telephone exchange building and also the buildings on the oppo­ site side of the street.

It is said that Lorne McKenzie will' likely rebuild the garage but it is not known just what the other business­ men will do. The people of Dungannon are high in their praise for those who worked so faithfully in the bucket brigade and also for the efficient work of the Kin­ cardine firemen and their pumper- To Investigate Harriston Firm Francis Peddie, Toronto barrister,, has been named by Ontario Securities Commissioner John M.
