FIRE AT OTAHUHU.
RAILWAY WORKSHOPS SUFFER,
AUCKLAND, November 3. A fire broke out at the Railway Workshops at Otahuhu to-night, when the boiler house at the workshop mill was demolished. The fire started at nine o’clock. A nightwatchman gave the alarm on the workshop bell. Twenty men at once attacked the fire and were reinforced by the Otahuhu Fire Brigade. The flames were soon under control. It was difficult to-night to estimate the full extent of the damage. Only the framework of the boiler house building, about 60 feet long by 30 feet wide, is left standing. Had the fire spread to the timber mill adjoining great quantities of valuable timber would have been burned.— (P.A.)
