Collapse Of Brick Wall At Factory.
Press Association —Copyright. Wellington, August 30. The collapse of a brick wall about 60 feet,long occurred during the night and laid open a large part of a factory just off Ghuznee Street. An empty space behind Wool worth's Cuba Street shop was being prepared for extensions at the rear of the shop and trenches for the foundations were dug alongside the wall of Read and Fenwick's glass bevelling factory. Evidently the trench affected the concrete foundation of the brick wall of the factory and it slipped into the' trench, allowing the wall to fall outwards. Had the fall occurred during the daytime when workmen Were in the trench they would have been buried under a pile of bricks.
