HOUSE AT AWAROA DESTROYED BY FIRE
A house belonging to Mr. John De Andrad, situated near the Awaroa bridge on the Broadwood - Herekino road was completely destroyed by fire on Tuesday. The family were all away from home and the fire was first noticed by Mr. Norman Gurr, who at a distance saw the flames at 12.45 but did not reach the scene till 2.20, by which time the house was reduced to ashes. Mr. Gurr immediately informed the Kaitaia police. It is not known how the fire started. The building was insured for £4OO in the State Fire Office, but there was no insurance on the furniture, so Mr. De Andrad will be a heavy loser. The nearest neighbour resides over half a mile away.
