ATTEMPT ON SAFES
"GELIGNITE FAILS The second attempt in seven weeks to break open safes on the premises of Market Gardeners, Ltd., Wakefield Street, was made on Wednesday last, but was again unsuccessful, although even if it had succeeded very little would have been gained. Entry was made by a window on the roof, the intruders confining their attentions to the upper floor. Gelignite and washing soap were used in an attempt to blow the safes, but although both safes were damaged, the doors remained shut. Even had they been opened, only books and papers would have been found in one safe and only some ledgers and small change in the other.
Safes are in many firms now regarded more as a -safeguard against fire than as a means of protection of valuables, which are usually lodged in the bank.
