Quake Shakes
New ENGLAND
-tnIsrna iional Nrr, ser,Ic. MIr.

BOSTON. Dec i=Enr- the
second time IN five days New
England was shaken by an earth
quake today
No material damage was done
but residents of the SIX states
were alarmed as buildings shook.
The trernorS were felt for about
30 seconds starting at approx
mately S:45 a. m.
Dr. L. Don Leet. director OF
Harvard University seIsmograph
station, said it probably was a
minor after-Shock OF Friday
quake if it had the same center
as before - al Lake OSSipee,
y. H.
In nearby Lowell. the tembloF
was reported to have been more
severe than that of Hast Friday.
New York City felt the quake
although to a much lesser degree
than the Northeastern Seaboard.
Buildings Swayed and windows
ratified for a few seconds IN Que

Vital Statistics
Find Sister
csprisht By Detroit Times. Az rights reserved.
uuc,rna q m a crHr A q nc. nnnAN

A few days ago Frank Zivano,
DDS Garfield avenue. glanced at the
vital statistics column of his
paper
Among the names he saw that
of Ruby Louise Zivan. %. of .O5
Algonquin avenue. who had taken
out a marriage application license
to wed Homer w. Burrell. %.
Zivano wondered. Twenty years
ago his own parents had died and
he and his brother and two sisters
had been separated. He came
down to the County Building and
asked TO look at Ruby Louise
Zivan's wedding application.
And sure enough it gave as her
parents the names of his parents.
She was his sister, whom he had
not seen in u years. Zivano de-
parted hastily for the Algonquin
avenue address and a reunion.

City Parking [o1
Law Studied

Common Council today viii con-
slider the proposition that If the
city provides free streets for auto
mobiles. il Is obligated to create
municipality owned parking lots
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Nathaniel Goldstick said he will
submit a proposed charter amend
mcnt permitting the city 10 con-
denim. purchase or lease land for
the purpose.
The proposal follows an attempt
by the councilmen 10 compel
privately owned parking lots 10
improve conditions and more
readily assume responsibility for
bent Tenders and other damage.
This ordinance was passed last
week but was recalled from the
mavor for a public hearing.
Municipality owned parking areas
would not necessarily be free.
Goldstick'S plan Is that they would
be operated at cost. probably al
fees Of from Is to IS cents a day
depending upon location
Principal objection by some
councilmen is that the undertaking
would take from the tax rolls
property on which parking lot
owners are now paying taxes
ii passed by the Council the
proposed c harter amendment
would be on the ballot at the
Spring election.

SEAPLANE BASE HIT

The pounding of Tripoli repre-
sented another of the damaging
blows struck during the past few
weeks at Italian Mediterranean
bases by British warships and
naval planes, which have been
roaming far and wide and last
week penetrated into the Adriatic
-Italy's lake"
Today's announcement said that
seaplane station at Tripoli also
was heavily attacked by planes Of
the fleets air arm.
On the afternoon of December
81. the admiralty said, British
naval torpedo planes - the type
that struck a devastating blow at
the Italian naval base of laramie
few weeks ago-attacked con-
voy of three merchant ships es-
corted by destroyers off Tripoli.
Torpedoes launched by the
planes blew up one 3,000-ton ves-
Sc, sthe announcement said, while
a 6.000-ton vessel sank.
From all these operations, the
admiralty added, only one British
plane was lost.
