Fires Ravage Paterson and Springfield

PRACTICALLY the whole business portion of Paterson, New Jersey, was wiped out by fire on February 9. The public buildings of the city were destroyed with many of the public documents. Altho the loss will amount to about $8,000,000, the city has refused aid from other cities. On February 10 the city of Springfield, Ohio, was visited by a conflagration which destroyed property valued at $1,400,000.
