BUS CRASHES INTO COFFEE STALL

MUCH DAMAGE TO CROCKHRYWARE. Dominion Special. Auckland, January 21. When about to turn into Wellesley Street shortly after 8 o’clock this morning, the 'veil-known Ideal Coffee Palace was struck by a City Corporation motor bus, the force of the impact capsizing the lighter vehicle on to the traffic lines. There was a resounding crash of broken crockery, and the owner-driver, A. L. George, was thrown heavily against the wall of the driving seat. He managed to extricate himself with nothing more than shock. The “Palace” was practically undamaged, but an inspection of the interior revealed a state of chaos. Most of the plates, cups and saucers, and fittings were smashed, and the damage is said to be fairly heavy. No damage was done to the bus. TRIPLEX SAFETY GLASS.
