DEFECTIVE ELECTRIC LIGHT SYSTEM.
ft A USE S CONFLAGRATION.
Auckland, June 20.
Air Hunt, S.AL, delivered judgment in regard to the recent fire at the city markets. He found that it started below the ceiling of the premises occupied by the Fruit Co. at 2 a.m. on April sth, and was caused by defective installation of the electric light system. A bent elbow of a conduit pipe was found at the place where the fire originated. This elbow was fired and burnt right through. There was no inspection opening in the elbow, as required by the regulations. Three other defects were found in the installation, any one of which might have caused a lire, and would have done so sooner or later. The Magistrate was satisfied that the rules and regulations under the Public Works Act, 1911, for th esafety of the lives and property of consumers of electrical energy, had not been properly observed in the district.
