The The chairman asked him if the Board did not think it proper to issue a permit for a building, if he would still want a permit for a stand without a top or sides.

Mr. Cacciola said that he realized this. No persons appeared in opposition. The hearing was declared closed at 7:45 P. M. The Chairman said that `i`oros Bashian called him and said that Cacciola's soil was very poorandhe did not think that he could raise vegetables and in the second place, he thought that Cacciola would buy the vegetables rather than raise them ss he had done this in Concord. Mr. Ferguson thought that if the Board was going to grant a permit for something as permanent as this stand, that Cacciola should present a plan. However, he thought it would be foolish to ask him to bring in a plan if the Board did not feel disposed toward granting the application. He said that he would much prefer to give him the right to sell from a temporary stand and then if he was not all right, that he would not have as much If an investment as if he had erected a permanent stand. The Chairman instructed the Secretary to notify Mr. Cacciola that the Board was undecided as to whether they would permit the construction of a permanent building and that they would ' like more information as to how he could arrange for parking automobiles and the type of stand he was going to build, and that the matter would be taken up again on May 22nd.
