The detectives asserted that Ku K'.ux Klan men, masked and bearing axes and gasoline torches, burned the board. Thp neighborhood said nonsense, that the detectives started the fire themselves. "The fire was originally in a plumbers' stove that those detectives I warmed themselves by." said John J. Kennedy, of 5654 Newton Avenue. "They had a nice? of a tent there also and i guess they were so cold thev ; took the stove inside. The tent caught fire and u spread to the billboard. 'r'--n tbosi fellows made up the storv abou tthe masked men to protect them 31 Ives, ' The detectives, who said that twelve masked men in a swift motor car chopped up the billboard props an?! burned X' em, v , tre st itioned at the ^P0"- by t. ? 0. J. Gu le Advertising .Company, owner of the beard, whose of ! ficers had a suspicion that the big ! -:gn was not w '.corned by residents of ! the neighborhood. Mr. Kennedy and John F. Doyle, a real estate man, had no hesitancy in : admitting that the advertising com j pany had ^uod groun Is for its sus ' cion. They sai I that city officials ! had promised ten years ago to improve the plot of ground at Broadway and Mosh? ; Parkway, just below 260th Street, and the first activity displayed was when the Finance Department re? cently leased the property to the Gude firm for about $16 a month. ! It is the opinion of Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Doyle and their neighbors that the billboard does not improve the citj property or theirs either. "H'e proteste,! ?n lull," said Mr Doyle, "when the city bought the pron erty, paying $16,521.87 to Patrick Hig i i'.ns, an alderman, and $2,231 to th? ; Faster est ite. For : hat p ?r? hase v 1 were assessed S-2,904.7". We didn' ' '?'? "?''? t worth that b it vvt paid an. I ! the city called the plot Plaza Park and ' . promised to make it attractive. "But nothing was done, and of late ', whenever we urged any action the city officials informed us that the popula? tion here was only nine to the acre and, therefore, the improvements ar.i sub a extension that we asked were not justified. Just as if people would not dock i'.ere if the section were im '. pi o ved! " Everybody felt badly enough, Mr. | Doyle said, when the O. J. Gude A X : vertising Company put up a billboard on private property adjoining Plaza : Park, but there was no organized pro j test. Then, he said, the Thom.is Cu | sack Company put up a billboard which ? not only overshadowed the original Cude board but had a wooden goddess at each end oi" it. In retaliation for the wooden goddesses, said Mr. Doyle. the Gude company somehow got a lease from tea.* city and put up the present billboard October 23. Mr. Kennedy has an act:on pending n the Supreme Court to test the city': 1 reasons for authorizing the billboard : on the site, and a decision is expected ; Tusday.
