It is conjectured that the fire originated through some ashes being put in a wooden box. The stock is insured for £400 and was damaged to the value of £200. The stock in the front shop was safely removed. The building which was slightly damaged, belongs to the Oddfellows, and is insured for £400 in the south British. Messrs MACARTHUR and Co have arranged to purchase the whole of the output of the Onehunga woollen mills for five years. This involves a total of £125, 000. The City Council, while agreeing with the Department of Agriculture as to the desirableness of tree planting, declined to declare Arbor Day a holiday.
