RESIDENCE DESTROYED
OUTBREAK AT HUTT VALLEY (Special ro Dailv Times) WELLINGTON. Sept. 10. A large residence near a hilltop on Wairire road, Belmont, Hutt Valley, which was owned and occupied by Mr Roland K. Grieve, was almost totally destroyed by fire this afternoon. The family were away at the time. The only water available was from the river some chains distant and, although the Lower Hutt Volunteer Fire Brigade soon had a good pressure of water delivered from this source, it was too late to save more than the skeleton of the house, which was well ablaze by the time it arrived.
