New Order on Revere House Sale
Modified injunction in the Equity Court allows removal of furniture and furnishings from the Revere House in Bowdoin Square for auction to benefit creditors. Previously the sheriff was to conduct a public sale at the hotel after its closure. Judge John F. Brown issued the March 21 order in the case brought by Jason F. Chase of the Watch and Ward Society.

Modification plan seeks higher recovery via private sale
The modification aims to secure more money for creditors through a private sale rather than a sheriff sale at the hotel site. Judge Brown approved the plaintiff's request for counsel fees, allowing $500 to John W. Rorke for Mr. Chase. Rumors that the Revere House was closed due to prohibition are not supported by these proceedings.
