INSUFFICIENT MEANS OF EGRESS
AUCKLAND FIRM FINED (P.A.) AUCKLAND. Sept. 24.
Because of the findings of the Royal Commission on Ballantyne’s fire in Christchurch, the Auckland City Council was seeking to enforce the “means of egress by-law,’’ said Mr H. J. Butler, counsel for the City Council, in a case heard today. The Goldline Motor and Engineering Company, Ltd., admitted having failed to provide a building with two separate means of egress. Mr Butler said the original plan for the building in Wakefield street had been altered to provide for the extension of a mezzanine floor, which made the means of egress inadequate. The Magistrate, Mr F. H. Levien, S.M., imposed fines totalling £7 10s.
