MATERIAL LOST IN WELLINGTON
(United Press Association)
WELLINGTON, June 28. The paint factory of Brolite (New Zealand) Ltd., at Kaiwarra, was the scene of a sudden fire at 11.30 a.m. today when a quantity of paint and chemicals turned a large shed for some unknown reason into a blazing mass.
The brigade was hampered by the fact that the fire plug was 2000 yards away. The shed was gutted but the adjoining buildings, in one of which a quantity of explosives was stored, were saved.
