FIRE AT TEMUKA
U.F.S. DISPENSARY DAMAGED I United Press Association TIMARU, This Day. A fire, the origin of which is as yet unknown, caused considerable damage, mainly through heat and smoke, to the premises occupied by the U.F.S. Dispensary at Temuka early this morning. The actual flames were confined to the top story where the offices of B. Hughes, accountant, and Dr. G. H. Gilbert, dentist, suffered damage, Hughes’ inquiry office being gutted and everything in the Dispensary damaged to some extent, but fortunately the flames did not penetrate to the shop itself where much inflammable material was stored.
Responding to the alarm at 5 a.m. the volunteer brigade made a good save. It is understood that all are insured.
