The Milton Pottery Works Burnt.

(Peb Pbess Association.)

Dunedin, Yesterday,

At a quarter to 2 this morning a fire broke out at the Milton Pottery, and by 3 o'clock part of the Works were destroyed. It apparently broke out in the packing room, and had a few men been at band nearly all might have been saved, but before assistance came the flames had complete mastery. For some time the houses in the vicinity were in peril. Had there been any wind all must have been destroyed. The only buildings saved were the kilns and a brick building containing wheels, and the printing room. Recently much valuable machinery was erected, and only the day before additional expensive work was completed. An immense amount of finished ware was in stock and destroyed by ihe fire. This is a bad thing for Milton. Forty hands were thrown out of employment. There is a suspicion of incendiarism. The stock was insured for £1525 in the National, part of which is reinsured in the New Zealand, United, and Victoria.
