FIRE IN TIMBER MILL
GOOD WORK BY FIRE FIGHTERS OUTBREAK CONFINED TO ONE SECTION (Per United Press Association) ROTORUA. Dec. 22. A fire last evening destroyed the central portion of a large timber mill at Mamaku operated by the G. A. Gamman Company. The mill had closed down in the afternoon for the holidays and was unoccupied when the outbreak was discovered. Chiefly as the result of the strenuous effort of volunteer fire fighters, the outbreak was restricted to one section of the building, and did not reach the large stacks of timber in the yards. The main engine was put out of commission, but the planing machines were saved. The building and plant were covered by insurance.
