HUT DESTROYE DBY FIRE When the men employed at the Southland County Council’s metal works at Dipton. returned after being away for the week-end they found one of the huts used to store gear in had been destroyed by fire. The hut was of the portable type and was standing alongside the main highway. It was the property of Hansen and Gerrard, contractors. It is not known if the hut was insured. A motor-truck, the property of the Southland County Council, had also been interfered with and a quantity of petrol was missing from the tank. The men live in a hut on the side of the road but had left for their homes on Friday evening.
