BOOT STORE BADLY DAMAGED. (Per Press Association.) Christchurch, December 10. Fire in the boot store and repairing factory of C. D. Gough and Sons, Colombo street, Sydenham, early this morning caused damage estimated at over £3OOO, including the loss of plant. It was an old wooden building. The total insurance was £2500 in the Northern Assurance Co. The brick walls on adjoining houses saved them, though the occupants had to evacuate owing to the heat. Fire broke out in a workroom at McKendrick’s tailoring premises. Wairoa, late last night. The brigade quickly extinguished the outbreak. The damage was confined to the workroom. The cause is believed to have been an electric iron left on.
