DAIRY FACTORY FIRE
LOSS IN TARANAKI. A MYSTERIOUS OUTBREAK. ATTRIBUTED' TO THIEVES. (Per Press Association). STRATFORD, This Day. The Waingongoro Dairy Factory was destroyed by fire yesterday morning. When noticed, the flames had a firm hold and it was impossible to- save the building, which was built of cormgated iron on a wooden framework. The cause of the fire is not known, as the factory boiler had not been fired since the factory closed at the end of last season. The building was entered twice recently, when cheese was stolen, and the theory is advanced that this might have occurred again on Monday night and a fire started as a result of the carelessness of the marauders. The building, which was 16 years old, was insured for £2OO and the plant for £3OO. The Cardiff factory will take cream until permanent! arrangements are made.
