Serious damage was done to the Church of the Epiphany, ill Karangaliape road, by a fire which broke out last evening at just about the time of the commencement of the disturbances which occurred in the shopping area nearby. The fire apparently broke out in the choir vestry beneath the sanctuary, and quickly spread. The flames travelled along the vaulted roof, and were breaking out through the northern wall overlooking Karangaliape road when the fire engines arrived. The main damage was done to the organ, which was soon a charred mass. This portion of the building was badly burned, and the whole of the choir library was consumed. The vicar, the Rev. Jasper Calder, was able to save the church records and the communion plate. Tlie origin of the fire could not bo determined.
