(By Telegraph.—Press Aisocution.)
PALMEBSTON N., 28th March,
A disastrous fire'occurred early this morning, when the seed-cleaning and food mixing factory of A. J. Palmer,^ Ltd., was totally destroyed by fire.
Two large two-story wooden buildings and the plant of up-to-date cleaning and mixing machines were reduced to a few heaps of tangled machinery and burnt stacks of grain and seed.
"When discovered, the fire had a powerful hold, and the brigade had to confine itself to protecting the adjoining business premises.- Fortunately no wind was blowing, and the firemen, after a strenuous fight, prevented the spread to one of Palmerston's leading business blocks. ,
Included in jthe losses are two large motor trucks. The company is a heavy loser over the insurance, which aggregates £10,000.
