A spectacular fire to-night in a four- ■ storey building owned by E. W. Pigeon and Co. in Vogel Street, Dunedin, caused damage amounting to several thousands of pounds. The outbreak had a 6trong hold whenit was discovered at 6.15 p.m. and the brigade could only confine the flames to' the top floor, used as a store by Victor Nelson Ltd., cycle dealers, and the floor immediately below, which was used as a clothing factory by J. A. Bradley and Co. The stock and plant on these floors were a complete loss. Considerable damage was done by water to stock in the lower- floors. This included a large quantity of imported paper and army stores. Water pene- * trated into an adjoining building occupied by Victor Nelson Ltd. to such an extent that the entire stock, insured for £5000, was affected. The extent of th'e damage cannot he estimated until an inspection has been made.
