JUDD.SAbL0TSkY IN MEMORIAL ROW
City Officials Use Filling Station
 for Arguing Point

Commenting on the charge made by Alderman William H. Judd fol- lowing last nights council meeting that Councilman Samuel Sablotsky .nsulted every Spanish War veteran in the city when he insinuated that there Is connection between the ded- ication of the memorial in Willow Brook park and the dedication of new gasoline station across the street." Sablotsky declared this afternoon:
 If there is any insult to the Spanish War veterans 1t was com mitted by those responsible for al- lowing Towers to build gas sta- ton so close to the memorial. If Alderman Judd Is correct in saying I insulted these men by mentioning the two buildings in the same speech, then how much more is the insult of allowing them to actually exist. My purpose in protesting was to add dignity to the war memorial and that is why I appeared before the beard of adjustment to protest. I'd like to know how Alderman Judd accounts for the fact that bothered to protest several months ago if he now thinks I am going out of my way to insult these veterans"

 Finally the captain gave up hope, obtained vacation and paid his own passage across.
