After inspection by insurance adjusters yesterday and today, fire damage to the Lipman department store building and to stock with in, was estimated between $20,000 and $30,000. This damage is cover ed only partially by insurance, ac cording to the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Milton Lipman, Beaufort. The building was seriously da maged by fire which was discover ed shortly after 4 a. m. Saturday morning by night police officer Carlton Garner who saw smoke pouring from the building as he pulled up in the patrol wagon at the Front street police station. Fire departments were summon ed from Morehead City, Cherry Point and New Bern by Beaufort Police Chief Gilbert Glancy who feared that the whole Beaufort business section would be endan gered if the Lipman fire continued to gain headway. Origin of the fire has not been determined. It is believed, how ever that it probably beean from dropped cigarette. Belief that the flames originated in the eleva tor shaft was later discarded when adjusters placed probable origin between a floor and ceiling of one of the upper floors. Because floorboards are not tightly put together owners said, a cigarette may have droDDed through one of the cracks. Above the store itself are rooms! where the VFW holds meetings and also a storeroom where gro ceries are kept by F. I. Simmons of Simmons grocery, Turner street Mr. Simmons estimated damage to his property at $1,000. This loss is covered by insurance. Adjusters discovered yesterday that the roof had not caved in, but walls have not yet been tapped. It is believed that Ihey were not damaged. Work of the adjusters will not be complete until the lat ter part of this week. If possible, business in the de partment store may be carried on at one side of it. No inventory has been taken as yet of the stock and no plans have been made in regard to repair or remodeling of the store, Mr. rind Mrs. Lipman said. The major part of the damau'e was due to smoke and water in the store itself. Flames did thp damage to upper floors. It was 6:30 Saturday mornine Deiore the fire, which could be seen for many miles, was finally brought under control. Trucks from surrounding stations return ed home at 8 o'clock. To Chief Glancy's thanks for their assist ance, Mr. and Mrs. Lipman added uii-ir sincere tnanxs and apprccia tion. Although the City barber shop and the exchange building of the Carolina Telephone and Telegraph company are adjacent to the store, no damage was sustained there. Scores of people were attracted to the fire in darkness of the morn ing, but the Lipmans did not rea lize that their place of business was burning and were summoned about three-quarters of an hour after the fire was discovered by Chief of Police Louis B. Willis. Others reported too that they did near the fire alarm in the Robert G. Lowe Winsjaycee l1949 Man-of- Year Award Farm Bureau Sponsors Control Program on Rats MAN OF THE YEAR Robert G.
