Car Is Destroyed

By Fire. A red Ford coupe operated by Jean Bianco of 61 Princeton Avenue. Rocky Hill was destroyed by flames Thursday afternoon after it caught fire on Stockton Street near the Governor’s mansion.

Mrs. Bianco told police that she had stopped the car when she smelled gas and smoke. By the time firemen arrived at the scene, however, the car was engulfed in flames and extensively damaged.

The fire, police said, originated in the engine compartment. Mrs. Bianco also lost a pair of $100 prescription eyeglasses which were in the car’s glove compartment.
