FIRE MENACE IN HALL
BACK-TO-CHILDHOOD ASSEMBLY AUCKLAND PREOAUTIONS. (By Telegraph— Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Sept. 27. The Auckland Fire Board to-day received from the City Council a reply to a letter in which the hom'd pointed out the serious fire danger which existed in the town hall during a recent “back-to-chiklhood” ball. The council said it regretted the occurrence and would take steps to ensure the position would not arise again. The chairman of the board commented that probably there would be no more “baek-to-childhood” balls in the city for many a long day.
“The livena really laughs,” said Mr P. W. Tewksbury, a Melbourne mining man and big game hunter, who passed through Auckland on his way to America by the liner Montere.y a few days ago.
