DEMAND PRESERVATION
OF JOHN ADAMS HOME

QUINCY, Mass. Aug. 6.--Sentiment
temporarily triumphed over modern
progress when the Quincy City Coun-
ell delayed action on an order to take
a few feet OF the John Adams lawn in
Quincy for the widening of Franklin
street.
Charles Francis Adams, the Quincy
Historical Society and the Daughters
of the American Revolution fought
the annexation. Adams said that to
desecrate the dwelling in which two
Presidents of the United States were
born would be comparable to building
a street through Mount Vernon.
Proponents of the order declared It
would not affect the John Quincy
Adams house and would take but a
few feet from the John Adams lawn.
Opponents. however, held II would de-
stroy a tree which has long been "A
landmark. The order was recon-
mitted.
