N. S. W. TOWNSHIP FIRE. HALF BUSINESS BLOCK BURNED; (United Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 0.25 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Half the business promises in the main street of Brekarrina were razed by fire. The town lias no fire brigade, and the residents, working the council’s antiquated hose reel, aided by a bucket brigade, eventually quailed the flames. Shops were mostly weatherboard structures. The damage is estimated at £12,000. Two men have been arrested on a charge of arson.
