Plans for a determined effort to burn :a block of buildings in Bathurst Street 'were frustrated by the suspicions of a ■Woman in the ground floor shop. She motieed two men leaving the upstairs premises from which she knew the occupants were absent. She informed the police, who discovered the rooms soaked with petrol. The electric Wiring had been interfered with and a string led -down to the street door ready for a pull to -cause a fusing of the wires and thus ignite the petrol fumes. The premises are now guarded.
