MORTUARY, 48 fears INC. BUckminster 2-0174 1925 Church Avenue BROOKLYN EAGLE, MERGE- Supreme Court consolidation of the Girls Club Asylum. Left to right, Oscar Mrs. Nathan M. Gallin, 2 Dead, 9 Hurt Is Toll In Boro Gas Plant Blast Two men were dead and nine tijured today a a a a result of the explosion and fire that destroyed the three-story main building of the Kings County Lighting Company, 1st Ave.

and 55th yesterday afternoon. The blast, which sounded like the heavy rumbling of a munitions explosion and shook buildings over a wide area, came shortly after 2 p.m. Two of the injured are in critical condition at Norwegian Hospital. The main building of the company, which normally supplies gas to 155.000 residents in Ridge, Fort Hamilton, Bath Beach and part of Flatbush, was a mass of debris, but the customers continued to get their gas supplies as usual. These came from the Brooklyn Union Gas Company, as well as from still undamaged tanks of the Kings County Lighting Company on 65th between 8th and 9th Aves.

Ralph E. Titus, vice president of the Kings County firm, said today: "We have been manufacturing gas since o'clock this morning. There no change in our service, and our customers have not suffered." The dead were Edward Hehir. 28, a watchman, of 515 59th and Michael Gillen, 46, pipefitter's helper, of 668 79th St. Critically' injured and under treatment in Norwegian Hospital were Patrick, Kelleher, 40, paint foreman, 10 Monroe and John Costello.

30, welder burner, of 856 54th St. Less seriously injured were Patrick McGinness, 65, 313 57th William Burns, 48, chief engineer, 265 46th A Charles Crowley, 51, 64-02 31st Astoria; Joseph Devany, 48, 248 77th Robert Cassiello, address not given; David Garden, 135-18 275th Laurelton, and William Bannon, 152-27 99th 99th Howard Beach. The explosion occurred three hours after gas production in the main building. a brick structure, had been shut off to permit installation of a newt meter on the first floor. The meter was to be used to regis: ter the amount of gas transmitted to storage tanks.

80 Flee to Safety SOCIAL WELFARE AGENCIES right, today approved the the Brooklyn Hebrew Orphan asylum; Mrs. Harry Sand and and Justice Some 80 employes of the company other than those killed or injured were in the building at the time and fled to safety. Workmen under Burns were installing the new meter-20 feet long by six by six feeteland two valves had already been put into place and a third was being worked on. The room had become partly filled wth gas fumes Burns land four other workmen went into the yard for "a blow." or breath of fresh air, before returning to complete the job. They were standing in the yard at the time of the explosion.

According to Fire Marshal Thomas Brophy, the explosion may have been set off by an flame or a friction spark touchoff a gas pocket on the first floor of the building. Sections of the wall blew out and all windows in the building. as well as those in adjacent factories and other buildings, including a bar and grill a block away, were shattered. Both property damage and injuries might have been far worse but for the heroic efforts of Burns, who ignored his own injuries to rush into the then blazing building to turn off valves leading to nearby gas! tanks. Prevents Near Blasts By succeeding in that mts.
