NEWSPAPER OFFICE DESTROYED.
By Telegraph—Special to Herald. Greytown, Monday, The Wairarapa Standard printing house was gutted by fire at 1.40 p.m. on Saturday. The workroom was badly burnt, and type ruined. The machines were more or less damaged. A lot of the Wairarapa Racing Club’s work, nearing completion, was destroyed. All the stationery was destroyed either by fire or water. The origin of the fire is a mystery, and the whole works are disorganised. It is marvellous luck that the building was saved at all, as a heavy westerly wind was blowing at the time.
Insurances ,£2OO on building in the South British, and ,£550 on the stock and plant in the London Liverpool and Globe.
