Busy Session
 Is Planned
 For Council

The Linwood avenue closing reso- lution, the dental clinic control con- troversy between the Departn ent of Health and the School board. and the establishment of a bipartisan board to manage the Municipal garage, are among the most important matters which are scheduled to come before tonight's meeting of the Common Council.
 It was predicted today that the Board of Aldermen will finally de- eide to throw Linwood avenue open to traffic at all hours, and place cau-s ton signs in the street or establish safety zones for the protection of children attending the Mapiewood avenue school. Opponents of the closed traffic plan claim that vehicles cannot be barred from the thorough fare without the adoption of an ordi- nance by the council officially closing the street.
 On the matter of the dental clinic control, 1t was the general concensus today, that the clinic will be placed under the Jurisdiction of the Health Departme ent. The ordinance commit- tee this morning was completing a resolution which will be referred to the council tonight.
 That the Municipal garage will be handled by a commission similar to the Fire and Police boards, is practi- caHy certain. It is understood that the commission will be appointed by Mayor Fred AIwater, and will con- sist of two Democrats and two Re- publicans.

Twenty policemen and an ambulance were rushed to the scene, and during 8 crowded half hour the worried law guard ians went from building to build ing, From hallway to hallway, for three blocks, the ambulance fol- lowing, seeking the victim and the murderer.
 The streams of people from emptying heatres on either side of the street stopped and gathered about, wildly curious. The crowd grew until Broadway was c1ogged; hundreds of motor cars were stalled, unable to go ahead or turn back and surface cars strung out for blocks. The block ade grew until reserves were called to restore the crowds and the street to normalcy
 Then the police learned that a practical joker had caused it all. He had called from a telephone in a contractors shack, adjoining @ new skyscraper.

He demanded that the Sheriff forward his clothes and belongings

As it now stands he is either to be a guest at Massachusetts h. sane hospital for a long, long time. with nobody especially anxious to oh- tain his release, or else if he is re- leased, he will have to answer to he Massachusetts authorities; then be re- turned here to finish his sentence and do an additional song and dance for going over the garden wall.
