GREAT BLAZE AT AUCKLAND. AUCKLAND, Last night.

The building and equipment belonging to the following five companies were completely destroyed:—• D.S.C. and Cousins, Ltd., motor body builders. Walter Long, engineer. New Zealand Case and Box Co., Ltd. Dominion Woodwool Co. Mervyn Abel, steel-pulley manufacturer. The total damage is estimated at between £60,000 and £70,000.
