Messrs Maddison Robbins, rerguson, 'Jlynn, and Kimball were present. 1 -he ''ecretary was also present. The Chairman stated that James n.

The Board discussed the matter of a hearing being held and the petitioner failing to appear. The Board felt that if no one appeared in opposition and inasmuch as the petitioner had made proper written application for a hearing, the Board would be justified in granting the petition. The chairman suggested that Mr. Smith be invited to appear at the next meeting of the Board which will be on ' June 21st, and that the Board hear his case at that time, and the suggestion was approved. The records of the meeting held on June 7th were read and approved with additions as noted by the Chairman.
