Two Boston College students were arrested in Charlestown last Wednesday night after allegedly sell­ ing I 0 bags of heroin to undercover State Police troop­ ers.

According to Mass. Attorney General spokesman John LaMontagne, the events were not related in any way. "We feel that there is no connection between the two investigations, the two activities and the two sets of ar­ rests," said LaMontagne.

    The History of Louder's Lane

    CHAPTER FOUR THE HISTORY OF LOUDER’S LANE Today it is called Louder’s Lane, but research has revealed that the current spelling is not correct. The lane was named for a local farming family with the surname Lowder (pronounced like the English word louder) who lived in the area from the mid-eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century. Their ranks included Corporal John Lowder, a Roxbury minuteman who fought in the Battle of Lexington on April 19, 1775. Until the middle of the nineteenth century, Jamaica Plain was an outlying, rural part of the town of Roxbury, removed from the bustling center of the town and even more distant from the city of Boston.1 The main activity of Jamaica Plain during this time was agriculture, and its farms, orchards, and pastures supplied the needs of the urban core of Roxbury and of Boston. The central transportation artery was an unpaved road called the Upper Road to Dedham (Centre Street). It was lined with farms and widely-spaced farmhouses standing close to the road. It served as a part of the Boston Post Road for stagecoaches carrying passengers and mail between Boston and New York.2 Coming off it in a roughly westerly direction was a short “private town way,” for many years the only street off Centre Street in that direction between Pond Street and Weld Street. ORIGIN OF THE LANE’S NAME The lane was first mentioned by name in an 1827 deed in which Lucretia Lewis as administratrix of the estate of the late Jabez Lewis, victualler, sold to John Lowder, victualler, for $275 (“he being the highest bidder”) a three acre “parcel of land called the upper swale..
