FIRE IN GOVERNMENT SHED
RADIO PLANT DESTROYED (By Telegraph—Press Association) DUNEDIN, This Day. A corner of a workshop in old corrugated iron sheds on the Andersons Bay road, used by the Government as a garage and storehouse, was gutted by fire early this morning. Two trucks were damaged and copper wire and odd stores burnt, but the heaviest loss occurred in the attic room above, where the Government radio station, recently equipped with plant, whose main purpose was communication with Union planes during flight, was totally destroyed. The plant was valued at £3OO. Fortunately the brigade confined the fire to one corner of the big store and the garages, in one of which there are 10 busses. These were not even affected by water.
