FIRE IN SCHOOL TWICE IN ONE DAY
Small fires broke out twice yesterday in the Hutt Central School, Lower Hutt. The first outbreak at 4.10 p.m. attracted a crowd of. hundreds, smad boys finding the school more exciting as the scene of a Sunday fire than as a seat of week-day learning. The novelty had worn off by 9.25 p.m., when the second outbreak occurred, only a few spectators turning up. The tires occurred in some old chairs and books stored under the school on the west side. No interior damage was done to the school, but the outside wall at the seat of the lire was slightly charred. The Lower Hutt Volunteer Fire Brigade made short work of both outbreaks.
