FIRE IN TEMUKA
/ SHOP & OFFICES DAMAGED. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) TIMARU, January 31. A fire, the origin of which is meantime unknown, caused considerable damage, mainly through heat and smoke, to premises occupied by the U.F.S. Dispensary at Temuka early this morning. The actual flames were confined to the top of the store, where the offices of Messrs B. Hughes, accountant, and G. H. Gilbert, dentist, suffered damage. The dispensary was damaged to some extent, but fortunately the flames did not penetrate to the shop itself, where much inflammable material was stored. Responding to an alarm at 5 a.m. the Volunteer Brigade made a good save. It is understood that all the properties were insured. P. Eastwood, 5 Perry Street, is Chief Agent for General Accident and Fire Assurance Corporation, Ltd. (Inc. in Scotland).*
