As well, the rent must be .cheap—about $100 a month—to fit into his limited budget. He said he wouldn't have minded so much if the fire destroyed the building and its contents, * “It would have been OK if the fire had wiped tt out, but to go back and find it all smokey and wet and destrayed and then some creeps have tocome anddoa rip-off—that's the thing that annoyed me the most,” he saud, 7 Telford, 43, an M§ victim for the past four years, said: that he. .was- watching television in his ground-floor apartment early ‘Monday ha gructirat Gate sp areartene when the lights went out and somebody started -yelling ‘fire’.

A firéman tried to stop him, but Telford said he told him he had no intention of going any further in bare feet. After the fire was put out, Telford returned to his . apartment and slept there.
