two inches short of the required
thickness. He says, however, that
they meet Gaithersburg regula-

division was within the corporate

Part of Rosemont is within
Gaithersburg, part under the
jurisdiction of the county govern

to apply for county road-building
permits. The county receives
2 percent of grading costs and
percent of paving costs. Figured
at 8 cents per foot from Casey's

missed 1924 in fees.

The Rockville Kiwanis Club
will have an additional $3.50 for
its child welfare and crippled
children fund as a result of the
Mayor and Councils action this
week.
The city officials voted to
waive the license fee in this
mount for the circus coming on
September 30 and sponsored by
the Kiwanis.
AS a result of an appeal by
Councilman James Robertson,
the Mayor and Council voted to
request the State Roads Commits
sion to change the speed limit on
East Montgomery Avenue, from
Edmonston Drive to the city
limits, from 30 to 35 miles.
Mr.. Robertson called the pre-
sent speed limit unreasonable
and unnecessary and said it en-

. Mayor Dickran Hovsepian said
that the permanent solution
would be the proposed widening
of East Montgomery Avenue.
This project was delayed this
year when the commission did
not get the increase in car

Charge Boy
With $1,000
House Fire

An 11-yearold retarded boy
has been charged with the $1,000
fire last Friday in the old frame
house of Miss Jaye G. DeMuth on
Fields Road, Rockville.
Sgt. E. E. Brown and Detective
Cpl. Warren Howes apprehended
the youth Saturday after his
parents reported that he did not
come home Friday night. From
the small size of finger prints
on broken window at the De-
Muth house, police speculated
that the fire was the work of a
youngster.
According to Sgt Brown, the
boy knew Miss DeMuth and
went to the house for a glass of
water. The boy repeatedly broke
a window to get into the house.
The officer claims that the youth
liked to light matches" and
ignited an upstairs mattress.
When Miss DeMuth returned
from shopping she noted smoke
pouring from the house, and
phoned the Gaithersburg-Wash
ington Grove Fire Department.
The blaze, feeding on rags,
newspapers, and furniture was
stubborn and the Rockville,

Suffolk Closes
Sat. With $4,000
Handicap Run

The 24-day Autumn meet
ing at Suffolk Downs comes
to a conclusion on Saturday
with the running of the So
900 New England Handicap. a
mile and one-half test over
the turf course for three
year-olds and upward. This
event will bring an end to
the 1855 pari-mutuel thor
oughbred racing season in
Massachusetts,.
1t was Suffolk Downs that
presented a stakes and han
dicap program that included
the $4,000 added Mayf1ower
Stakes for two-year-olds and
the $50,0OO-added Yankee
Handicap for three year odds.
Both events drew nation
wide attention and helped to
brighten UP the New England
racing picture.
The Mayfiower was raised
an additional $4,000 this year,
The Macomber Memorial Han
dicap was carded for a purse
of $25 600, and the Suffolk
81 with its $4,000 valuation
were added to the stakes pro-
gram.
That it helped bolster rae
ing in this area was proven
by the response of horsOn1en
throughout the country who
nominated for these added
moneny events.
During its Spring meeting,
Suffolk Downs presented the
traditional $4,000 added Mas
sachusetts Handicap in addi-
ton to the Macomber and the
Suffolk 81. These events plus
the overnight handicaps on
the agenda were all outstand-
ing races, and the Suffolk
management is proud that the
East Boston oval was the set
ting for the appearance Of
such names as HelioScope, So
cial Outcast, Maharajah, Cas-
canuez, Commonwealth, Craig
wood, Star Rover, Impromptu,

The Autumn meeting saw
such turf greats as Imagem,

Ho and RockcaStle in the
three-year-old division; and
Nalur, Combustion End, Tex,
