[Riverdale] Chief Bailiff E.S. Aldridge, commonly referred to as "police
chief" in the town minutes and newspaper articles, caused the greatest
stir of the decade. As part of an ongoing feud with the Hyattsville Police
Department (and after Mr. Aldridge had lost Riverdale's mayoral election by a
wide margin), in August 1927, Chief Aldridge arrested Hyattsville Chief Carl M.
Blanchard for reckless driving and shooting a gun in Riverdale. <u>The
Riverdalian</u> reported that 'residents were alarmed...when two automobiles
sped through the town from the direction of Hyattsville, east on Madison Avenue
[Queensbury Road], through the entire limits of East Riverdale, during which
chase shots were fired." Chief Blanchard had been pursuing a motorist.<br>
