34 PV the building was thought of, they asked if she objected ►-�" to the dump, and if the building would not be less objectionable than the dump. She felt that everybody , was welcome to a club and if a club was located next door it would lessen the value of their property. They also have a house which they rent and they would not be able to rent the house. She felt that the people most interest- ed in the club live far enough away so that the club would not bother them or disturb them. Mrs. Caroline Bowker objected as she was one of the residents that would have to live right next door to it and her place is very restful and a club would be a source of annoyance. The members most all live far away and would not be disturbed and she thought they should build a club nearer their own homes. She and her daughter lived there for eighteen years and have spent their time in improving their property to make it more valuable. She felt if the club members did not have the funds that the club property would not be cared for. She also objected to the noise, expecially in the summer when they would have their windows open and they would be disturbdd from their rest after working all day. She also felt that in time to come some of the best members might give up their membership and they could not tell what kind of people might get in there, and they have no police protection in that section. There is no guarantee ' that undesirables will not come to the club. She therefor did not think this was a suitable place for a community club. Mr. Louis Vanderwoude stated that he objected for the same reasons that *ere given previously by the other speakers. tie felt that this was strictly a residential section and he felt this club would be just like many other clubs just a hang out for some of the members. He also felt that the Zoning Laws did not allow a club in a residential district and that there was no reason for taking action to allow one. Mr. Guthrie stated that the club would be open only at such times as activities were being carried on and would not be open at all times, also that the club has met for the; past two years in a camp in back of his house and they have now outgrown the camp. There had been no cards played at the club and no red liquor used. They did sometimes have beer or tonic. Mr. Maddigon explained that the Board of Appeals had to take into consideration what will happen to the club in the future. The hearing adjourned at 8:20 P.M. and the Board of, Appeals decided to visit the premises before ' making any decision. A true record, Attest: p Clerk.
