FIRE IN MARLBOROUGH
LARGE WOOL STORE TOTALLY DESTROYED. (By Telegraph—'Press Association.) BLENHEIM, This Day. One of the largest stores at Blenheim’s riverside wharves was totally destroyed by fire at 9.30 this morning, together with a small quantity of baled wool, hay and straw. With storage space at a premium, the fire is particularly unfortunate, but the loss would have been greater later in the shearing season, when the store would have been full of wool. The building, constructed of corrugated iron, was a seething .mass of flames when the brigade arrived and a good save was impossible. Owned by the Wairau Harbour Board, the store was insured for £1,400. The hay and wool lost were owned by Messrs C. W. Parker and Co. and Levin & Co., Ltd.
