FIRE
NAPIEIWESk destroyed the State receiving home in Lees Road, Greenmeadows. between 3 and 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon. The 10 children in the home were absent at the time on a picnic, under the charge of the sub-matron (Miss M. Allen) .
The children, who lost all their possessions other than the clothes they were wearing, are now billeted in the district.
The single-storied building burned rapidly. The Napier fire brigade was called, but all it could do was to concentrate its efforts on a near-by house which was threatened. Water was pumped from a well.—(Sp.). <- ** 1 *
