Allston Demonstrators To Seek Building Halt

Allston residents and ecology activists seeking to block the building of a boys' club in Allston's Ringer Park expect to win a restraining order that will temporarily stop construction, Mare Roffman, an organizer of the drive, said last night.

Roffman said that if a restraining order is not issued by noon today when construction is expected to resume demonstrators will gather to block buildozers from entering the two-acre plot of parkland that is owned by West End House, Inc-the charitable organization which is sponsoring the building of the boys' club.

"We are going to stop them. I am not going to say how," Roffman continued, "but we're going to stop them."

On Monday police arrived after a meeting of about 200 community residents hadended, arrested 17 persons in the vicinity of the park and dispersed a crowd of bystanders. Yesterday morning the 17 were arraigned in Brighton Courthouse and charged with "refusal to obey the lawful order of a police officer to disperse." Howard Price, connsel for three of the defendants, said last night.

Roffman said that he expected that about 200 people would camp in the park last night. At about 6:30 p.m. yesterday several hundred people congregated at a meeting to discuss the future of the wooded 12 1/2 acre area which some community residents have already begun calling "People's Park." -J.W.S.
