DANGER OF GAS JETS.
FIRE SUPERINTENDENT'S WARNING. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) YVANGANUI, Monday. Speaking after a fire which did considerable damage to old wooden buildings opposite the post office, known as the Kash Corner, Superintendent Williams, of the city fire brigade, said that in investigating the premises of a Chinese fruiterer, whose shop was damaged, he had found a burning gas jet in a small cupboard under a staircase. The gas was kept continuously alight for the purpose of ripening fruit. This practice, he had been informed, had been going on for some considerable time. "It is very dangerous, he said, ana if it is going on in other such shops it should be immediately prohibited."
