Long has it been the custom, on Patriots’ day, to have a colonial- costumed horseman speed “through ex village and farm” in commemoration of the midnight ride which Rtevere, aided and abet- ted by Henry Wadsworth Longfel- low, made famous. This year, marking the Massachu- setts Bay colony tercentenary, some- body conceived the idea of having an automobile race the horse. The purpose, it was pointed out, was to determine the speed ratio between a product of the machine age and the old gray mare. Doubtful Thomases with the seemingly sion that counfered abvious conclu- were staged the motor car would reach Lexing- ton Green before Paul Revere had got out of sight of the two beacons hanging in the belfry of Old North church. Must Stop at Red Lights The proponent of {he plan was undaunted, however. He pointed out that the motorist, of course, must obey every local traffic regulation, slowing dowh fo cight miles an hour at all sircet intersections, stop- ping when a red light was against him, and traveling at low speed through towns, as prescribed by law. So it was decided to make thd test. which was given an official stamp with the approval of Mayor James M. Curley, who said he thought it might be an Intcresting race. Sergeant Robert D. Rodes of the 110th cavalry was to ride the horse as the prototype of Revere. Nobody seemed to know who would be be- hind the wheel of the motér car. It took the original Paul Revere considerably more than three hours ch a race re (Continued on Page Two) 1. B, COMSTOCK TAKES STORE FIGHT HIGHER Appeals to State Supreme Court in Belvidere Disagreement Aftorney Monroe Gordon. acting for J. B. Comstock of this city, has prepared an appeal fto the state su- preme court of crrors from the find- ing of Judge Newell S. Jennings in superior court on his appeal from the ruling of the board of adjust- ment of this city with regard to the use of a store on the property of Charles §.*Andrews which is in a residential district. Samuel Kolodney took the building from July 1, 1919, to July 1. 1929, from Mr. Andrews. The zoning ordinance went into ef- fect in July, 1925. Up to that time, Mr. Kolodney uscd the store for re- tail purposes and after that time, he used it for storage of goods which he was using in connection with other businesses he is engaged in. The board of adjustment of this city, when Comstock objected to An- drews using the store after July 1, 1929, ruled that Andrews had a right to open a store there. The case was appealed to the superior court and heard by Jtdge Jennings. Judge Jennings in his finding stated that he found that up to the time of the adoption of the zoning laws in this city, Samucl Kolodney was exercising the lease he had on a lease on (Continued on P'age Two) MUST HEED RED LIGHTS | diate (Continued on Page Two) r insurgents cut telephone and tele- |scnate graph lincs leading out of the city, which is of about and derailed a train campaign funds O o o, | Will make a careful study of Jont 40 miles | Pldints alleging away. blocking the railroad line. ptures by candidate A detachment of castern fronticr [Pefore conducting hearing vifles under command of Licutenant | Following. this plan of preceddre.
