He remain- ed in tt* neighborhod of Boston from 1872 to 1881, when he moved to Wash- ington. Bell was only 29 years old at the time he patented his invention,.- It is declared tiat no patents for any Inven- tion were ever subjected to such long and bitter litigation as the Bell Tele- phone patents. Mr. Bell was on the stand at one trial for 52 days, during which time he recited the history of his invention with a clearness and con- ciseness that characterized ids writ- Ings and speeches through later years. To commemorate the birth of Hie telephone in Brantford, a beautiful memorial was unveiled there on Oc- tober 24, 1917. Dr. Bell was present and on thp.t occasion emphatically con- firmed the right of Brantford to be known as the "Telephone City." President's Peace Plans Accepted by Ry.
