FIRE DESTROYS DAIRY FACTORY
(P.A.) WHANGAREI, April 30. The Waipu Co-operative Dairy Company’s main factory was totally destroyed by fire early this morning. The office and butter store were saved, but the loss is estimated at £B5OO. The building and stock was insured for £9070.
There is no fire-fighting equipment in the district and the fire had a big hold when it was discovered. All the butter was removed from the store as a precaution, but a bucket brigade saved this building. A considerable number of suppliers’ cream cans was destroyed.
