(Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON. Nov. 22. The Milk Supply Association’s factory at, Fcathcrston was destroyed last night. No water supply was available and so the fire brigade was helpless. The buildings, which were very substantial, and the machinery cost over £2OOO. The origin of the fire is a mystery. There was no caretaker and the police found all the doors locked. The building has been unused since last summer. The insurance is £7OO on the machinery and £3OO on the building. The Association was in liquidation and tenders for tire purchase of the buildings and plant were to have closed to-morrow.
