BUSY BRIGADES
NUMEROUS CITY CALLS In addition to the fire on the premises of G. W. Wilton and Company, Limited, late yesterday afternoon, the Central Fire Station received four calls to different parts of tho city during the day. The first call was to a chimney fire at the Commercial Hotel, Shortland Street, but tho outbreak was under control within a minute. At 12.30 p.m. a telephone call was received from tho Totara Timber Company, Limited, at Newmarket, where a small fire had broken out in the roof. Machines from the Central and Parnell stations answered tho alarm and tho fire was extinguished before much damage had been caused. Engines from tho Central Fire Station and Point Chevalier answered a call to the Dome Iron Foundry, Franklin Road at 5.30 p.m., but the call was a false alarm. The paintwork of a motor-car belonging to Mr. E. C. Sperring, of 79 Marine Parade, Herne Bay, was damaged when the vehicle caught fire outside his house at about 6 o'clock.
