GALE IN THE CITY
A SHOP WINDOW BROKEN Wellington was living up to its reputation of being a windy city yesterday. The turbulent weather conditions resulted in one of the plate-glass windows in the retail shop of James Smith’s, Limited, being broken.. It appears that the wind wrenched' open tiie door of one. of the ’ show cases which are between the windows. This swung back sharply, and struck a window with sufficient force to break it. Policemen were soon upon the scene, and, when a member of the management of,the firm had arrived, the window was boarded up, pending the time when it could ’be replaced with a new sheet of glass. The window was some ten or twelve feet square, and it will probably cost between forty and fifty pounds tp replace it. . . The gale .was very severe on the higher level of the cify, but’ only minor damage has so far been'reported.
