The fire began in premises occupied by Horton Foley, printer, and owned by G. K. Douglas. The building was completely destroyed.
'flic fire extended to the roof of adjoining premises, owned and occupied by Fuen Koy Leong, fruiterer, whose stock of vegetables and fruit was extensively damaged by fire and water.
An outbreak in W. Stannard’s stationery premises was extinguished immediately, but the stock suffered some damage, amounting to about £BOO.
