HOUSES UNROOFED.
Violent Storm Damages Oil Works. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received March 9, 10.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, March 9. A violent storm with a tropical deluge caused much damage at Grenfell. Trees and electric cables were blown down, and houses were partially unroofed. A bedridden woman lay exposed to the rain for half an hour after the roof had been lifted from her house. The shale oil works at Newnes were disorganised by a cloudburst which put out of action the machinery and silted the railway.
