EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE.

THE INSURANCES

WELLINGTON, July 26. The fire which did so mffch. damage at the Meat Export Company's fellrnongery. at Ngahauranga^ last night was the second outbreak in the sam 6 building within a month. Last night's fire destroyed the upstairs portion of the fellmongery and the contents, including a large quantity of wool, a large motor and generator, and several drying-machines. The machinery on the ground floor was damaged by water. The workmen used the large Merryweather fire engine with good results* and the City Fire Brigade also rendered excellent service, despite the fact that it was summoned at rather a late stage. ... The building was insured in the Alliance and other offices for £3550, and the plant, electrical fittings, etc., in the same offices for £3080. The insurances on the wool were not available.
