WELLINGTON, February 16. Fire broke out in the premises of Miller and Ahearn, 110 Wakefield street, early this evening. The blaze, which began in a manner unknown, seized hold of the upper floor of the building of Miller and Ahearn, warehousemen, and sent a column of smoke high into the air. The Central Fire Station machines were reinforced by machines from outlying stations. The fire was completely under control in less than an hour, but only after considerable damage had been done by tire and water.
MASTERTON, February 16. Fire to-night destroyed a motor truck, valued at £2OO, and the shed in which it was housed, both being the property.of Mr E. H. Spackman, carrier, of Masterton. The shed was insured for £IOO, but the truck was not insured. It is understood that the fire was caused through a leaky carburettor.
