TOWN BOARD LOSES £43 By Telegraph—Press Association AUCKLAND, April 17. Thieves entered the Tuakau Town Board offices early yesterday morning by smashing a panel in the front door. They blew open the safe in the strongroom and stole £43 in notes and silver. The money stolen included £5, £1 and 10/- notes. An Attempt Foiled NEW PLYMOUTH, April 17.

Fumes were noticed by the manager, Mr S. Lovell, when he entered the store, but there was no sign of the intruder. A charge had been exploded in the keyhole of the safe.
