DAMAGE AT TE KUITI
— By Telegrnph — OopyrJght)
Te Kuiti, Monday. A fire described as the biggest in the history of the town occurred in Te Kuiti to-night, resulting in the destruction of five business premises, occupied by H. C. Evans, boot and shoe ctore, Luen Chung, fruiterer and confectioner, the Te Kuiti Bargain Stores, owned by Mason and Dobson, D. McCorkin- ( dale's store and J. F. Huggins, tobacconist. The fire apparently started in the rear of the Bargain Store, and had a firm hold before the alarm was given. The brigade saved the Post Office, which was scorched and had several windows cracked. Most of the stock in McCorkindale's shop was saved. Some of the stock was also removed from Huggin's shop. The brigade had a strenuous fight. Salvage work was done by the police and spectators. The insurances are not available.
