The sub-station of the Chautauqua Traction Company at Stow was destroyed by fire Friday afternoon. A high tension wire rubbing against the roof of the structure started the blaze, which resulted in a loss of about $40,000.
Traffic on the trolley lines between Jamestown and Westfield was seriously impaired by the fire.
