The petition was formed at a meet ing Thursday night of 19 residents, representing all sections of the city, and including several well-known members of the University faculty. Objections to routing the new boule vard down Franklin street, as ex pressed in the petition, are that the I " A. "primary purpose motivating our citizens as well as the members of the Commission will be wholly defeated; namely, the reduction of traffic on US Eoute 15 and particularly the lessen ing of the present congestion of East Franklin street." ANOTHER OBJECTION Another objection, which was not included in the petition, but was brought out at Thursday night's meet ing, is that as a result of the Frank lin street route, several houses would have to be moved back from the street, thus disrupting one of the oldest and most beautiful sections of the town. The petition points out that several sharp and dangerous curves within the town limits on East Franklin street, some of which already have resulted in fatal accidents, and that these dangers would be increased in evitably, if, by reason of the construc tion of a new and wider highway, the "invitation is given to reckless and careless drivers of motor vehicles to disreagard safe driving and reason able speeds." ' ; Although no alternate proposals for routing the new highway appeared in the petition, one suggestion has been to let the boulevard skirt, the edge of the city and come to the business sec tion from North Columbia street. ALTERNATE ROUTE This route, it was argued, would afford hard surface transportation to a section of the city and county not now provided with a paved direct route to Durham. , Several residents of East Franklin street said they had been approached and asked to sign papers saying they (Continued on page two) Insurance Agents To Attend School Here Next Month A three-day Insurance school, spon sored by the North Carolina Associa tion of Insurance Agents in coopera tion with the University Extension division, will be held here March 13, 14, 15, it was ann6unced yesterday.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C Performer Policeman Blake Believes Insider Committed Crime City police were unable to announce late last night any developments in the search for the robbers of Everett dormitory torewnSch'::'WaS"Ic"ted ' $65 early Friday morning. Several ad ditional clues, however, were revealed which it is thought may lead to the capture of the marauders. Chief of Police W. T. Sloan has placed J. D. Blake, local policeman, in charge of the case. Blake had several reasons yesterday for believing that the raid could possibly have been an inside job. He seemed to think that no outsider would-be carrying the four razor blades that were found near the window of the dormitory store. Appearances indicate that these blades were first used in an attempt to scrape the putty from one of the window panes, thus allowing the in truders to reach inside and open the window. PAY DAY The fact that all dormitory stores pay their bills to the Book Exchange on Friday mornings and therefore have more money in the cash drawer on Thursday nights than at any other time of the week also led to the be lief that the theft was committed by an insider. Analysis of the tracks discovered near the scene of the burglary showed (Continued on last page) Coolidge Quartet Will Play Here Early In March Speaking, of the Coolidge string quartet, Olin Downes, famous music critic of the New York Times, says that "The quartet players prove again the fine material in their organiza tion and the enthusiasm of real mu sicians in difficult tasks."
