FIRE AT TIMBER MILL AND YARD.
LOSS TO TAUPO TOTARA COMPANY.
Auckland, June IS.
The Taupe Totara Timber Company’s sawmill and plant at New market, valued at £I,UOO, and 250,000 feet of timber, valued at £2,800, were destroyed by tire-hist night. A gale was blowing at the time, and this gave the lire brigade no chance. The Broadway Theatre, adjoining, sustained some damage, and at one time the Royal George Hotel was in great danger. It is presumed that the tire was caused by a spark from a passing railway engine.
