STATE HOUSES DAMAGED
VANDALISM AT SEATOUN LEAD TAKEN FROM WINDOWS | Pet Press Association. ] WELLINGTON, Feb. 25. Five or six Government houses being built on Seatoun Heights suffered recently at the hands of vandals. who stripped the lead-edged flashing from underneath windows, apparently during week-ends. It is expensive and hard to obtain, and after plastering of a house is finished, difficult to replace without extensive cost. The vandals apparently operated systematically, tearing off all the lead they could reach. Heavy lead round a chimney in one instance was tampered with but was apparently too difficult to remove.
