SERIOUS FIRE
JOINERY FACTORY LOSS OF STOCK AND PLANT (By Telegraph.—press Association) NEW PLYMOUTH, Friday A serious fire early this morning destroyed the large joinery factory of the Sash and Door Timber Company, Limited. The factory was almost completely burned out, building, stock and plant. The damage, which is covered by insurance, represents several thousand pounds. A fine save wa s’ made by the brigade in preventing the spread of the fire to the yards, where large quantities of timber were stocked under cover, also to adjoining buildings. Fortunately, large stocks of joinery made under Government contracts had been completed and despatched. When the brigade received the alarm the interior of the twostoreyed building was a seething mass of flames. Some of the machinery, it is believed, may be reconditioned.
