WORKSHOP DAMAGED
Fire in Willis Street
Severe damage to the workshop of Messrs! Macklin and Rowell, electrical engineers, on the top floor of a threestory brick building, fiO Willis Street, was done by a lire to which the 'Wellington Fire Brigade was called at 3.45 a.m. yesterday. The brigade found that the lire had been alight for some time before the alarm was given. Dense clouds of smoke hindered them, in searching for the seat of the out-' break, but it -was quickly suppressed after it had been' discovered. It is supposed that the fire was caused electrically. Damage was confined mostly to Macklin and Rowell’s workshop, where it originated, and to the roof above. A part of the same floor occupied by Mr. F. Grant, cinematograph mechanic, was not damaged. Slight damage was done to the premises of a social club on the first floor, and the tsock and premises of Siegel’s, furriers, on the ground floor also suffered slightly, but rhe workshop of Messrs. Rash-- and Little, manufacturing jewellers, on the first floor,-. escaped. The building is owned by Mrs.'J. Goldsburgh.
