money was taken out by a person who
had the' facilities for putting on a

The Entire Plant of 4 C's Com
pany Threatened by Blaze
Which Started in Main Gas
Building This Afternoon. Gas
Tanks in Danger.
The main gas building of the 4 C's
Company, at Dilworth, caught fire and
was totally destroyed by the "flames
this afternoon at 3 o'clock.
A message was telephoned to the fire
companies and -;'r a short while the
chemical and hose wagon and hook and
ladder truck were on the scene. The
gas building is nearly a half mile from
the nearest city hydrant and water
connection could not be secured in
time to save any of the building. The.
pressure of the Dilworth water plant
was insufficient to even attempt to
extinguish the flames, the pressure not
being enough to throw a stream as
high as the second story of the build
ing. The firemen were compelled to
stand by and see the angry flames
devour the handsome new building and
the magnificent gas fixtures that manu
facture the entire amount of gas con
sumed by the city. They were perfectly
helpless to turn a hand. The building
and entire contents, valued approxi
mately at $20,000 or $25,000 went up
in the flames.
Mr. E. D. Latta the president of the
4 Co's company, was early at the scene.
He stated to a News man that he could
not even make an estimate as to the
total amount of damage. The building
and machinery was insured but noth
ing like the real vaitie.
It is given out that Charlotte con
sumers of sas will be in, the dark for
an indefinite length of time as the sup
ply, of gas now on hand will not last
longer than one night. It may be days
and even weeks before - gas may be
manufactured.
A tenement house owned by the
Charlotte Trouser Co.. caught on fire
and a larse hole was burned in the
roof. The blaze was put out before
much damage was done.
