JOHNSON HOME LOSS
: ESTIMATETZ AT $5OO
The loss suffered by C. A. Johnson
on South Main street Friday morning
is about $5OO instead of $2,Q00 as
roughly estimated immediately after
the fire, according to statement today
by Chief W. C. Wilkerson. Water
damage was very slightt Burning
‘shingles were pulled off the roof by
‘the firemen to make possible the use
of only a small amount of water. The
firemen attacked the fire at such close
range that ‘water was thrown only at
the blaze itself and a minimum of
damage done. Mr. Johnson compli
mented the firemen on their efficient
work.
