FIRE DESTROYS OLD HOUSE
OUTBREAK IN BROWN STREET. Flames soaring up into the air about mirdnight last night, and the clanging of the bell when the alarm was given, summoned the New Plymouth Fire Brigade to an old house in Brown Street owned by Mr. A. E. Kretschmar, a builder. By the time the brigade arrived, however, the building was almost consumed, and when the fire was finally subdued it wae found that the house was practically gutted. No one was in residence in the place at the time. Mr. Kretsehmar and his family recently moved into a new house nearby, and the old home was in the course of being demolished. A rubbish fire had been burning outside the place, and it is thought that fire must have spread to the building from this source. The house was insured in the United Office for £lOO.
