Home Bombed in Rent-Control Battle 1 I Police said Nichols reported receiving "several threatening phone calls, all concerned with the rent-control issue," and that the most recent call came only hours before his home was destroyed. At least eight city councilmen also have received threatening calls, apparently from both supporters and opponents of rent control, police said. The City Council is scheduled to reconsider Tuesday night its 6-5 decision to abolish the Rent Control Board. 1 LYNN, Mass. (AP) WMe officials investigated the Saturday explosion and fire that destroyed the home of rent-control foe William Nichols, police continued round-the-clock protection Monday for the mayor and 11 city councilors.

Nichols, a real-estate executive in this community on Boston's North Shore, his wife and two daughters were away for the evening when the blast occurred, police said. No one was reported injured. The explosion, according to Fire Chief Joseph Scanlon, "definitely was of incendiary origin and may have been triggered by some sort of timing device." The force of the blast lifted the garage roof from the building and hurled part of a garage door 50 yards into a nearby field. A neighbor who lives 50 yards away said, "I was lying on my couch when I heard a terrific blast. It almost threw me off the couch.

Then the whole house just went up into a ball of flame." Patrolman Robert Sirois said there was "absolutely no doubt" that the explosion was related to rent control. Two weeks ago the City Council abolished the year-old Lynn Rent Control Board, despite the plurality that endorsed the board in a referendum last November. Nichols, owner of Nichols Real Estate of Lynn, is a former city councilman who was defeated in the mayoral election two years ago and is chairman of the Concerned Citizens Committee, a local group of realtors and landlords opposed to rent control. fife dB (0 a.
