METAL WORKS GUTTED
OUTBREAK AT PUKEKOHE. By Tt-lezraoh. -Press Association. Pukekohe, Dec. 3. Fire gutted the forge and metal workroom of the Pukekohe Technical High School this morning. Smoke was seen issuing at 6 o’clock, but no notice was taken, as it was believed the fires were lit for the day’s work. The flames broke out at 8.20, and the brigade arrived promptly,, but owing to blocked ball-cock, the main water was not available for fully five minutes, but when a supply was obtained the flames were quickly subdued, though not before half the building had been extensively damaged. It is not known whether the valuable machinery was damaged by heat beyond use.
