'Rock And Roll' Jars Residents Along LeJeune

Residents along Lejeune Rd. are complaining about "rock and roll." The rock is a huge mound created by Troup Brothers Construction Co. at the intersection of LeJeune and University Dr. in connection with the widening project from South Dixie Hwy. to Tamiami Trail. Mrs. Enoch Erickson, who lives nearby, complained to the Coral Gables City Commission Tuesday about dust, dirt and other conditions caused by the earth mound. Huge equipment rolling by his home at 365 Malaga caused Clarence Brandes to complain, too. "... My house rocks" everytime equipment rolls by, Brandes complained. He added that plaster walls in his home are cracking from the pounding. The Commission felt that Brandes had a complaint that should be taken up with Troup Brothers. As for Mrs. Erickson, 30 days or so should see the removal of the "mountain of dirt" and accompanying annoyances, it was decided.

Home Ransacked

The home of George V. Walker, 209 Washington Dr., was ransacked Feb. 9, and $273 in cash and $350 in U. S. Government bonds stolen.
