BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING ' <br />Sept. 14, 1937. <br />At 8:10 P. M. hearing was declared open before the Board <br />of Appeals and the Board of Selectmen upon petition of Jennie <br />M. Partridge for permission to maintain two underground tanks <br />for the storage of gasoline in the capacity* of 1000 gallons <br />each on the premises at 400 Waltham Street, <br />Chairman Maddison and Mr. Robbins and Associate Member <br />John A. Lyons were present as members of the Board of Appeals; <br />also Mir. Ferguson, being a member of both Boards. <br />Notice of the hearing before the Selectmen was read by <br />Chairman Ferguson, and notice of the hearing before the Board <br />of Appeals was read by Mr. Robbins. <br />Several persons were present at the hearing, including <br />Mr. R. L. Ryder, counsel for the petitioner. Mr. Ryder said <br />that he filed the application for Mrs. Partridge.. The property <br />is leased to the Morris Motors, represented by Mr. Morris <br />Bloomberg, who has been in business for himself at this location ' <br />for a little less than two years. In'October, 1935, the Board <br />of Appeals granted a permit for a service station and show room <br />at this location and it has been operated as such since that <br />time.' It has been determined that the sale of gasoline and oil <br />is going to be necessary if Mir. Bloomberg is going to succeed <br />and do more than pay his rent. Mr. Ryder said that he thought <br />that probably the Jenney Mfg. Co. and the Standard Oil Co., <br />would be represented to op;ose the petition. Mir. Ryder said <br />that if the Board was going to give a man the privilege of <br />conducting a garage and service station, he should be given <br />the right to sell gasoline. He has tried to operate without <br />it and finds that it is a grett handicap to his business. The <br />gasoline and oil he would sell would be to his own customers <br />and people who come to have work done on their automobiles. <br />Ryder did not think it would harm the business of the other <br />two gasoline companies. He thought it was only proper that <br />Mr. Bloomberg should have the privilege of selling gasoline <br />and said that it would enable him to make a better thing of <br />what he started out to do. <br />Chairman Maddison stated that the permit from the Board of <br />Appeals stated specifically that there shDuld not be any sale <br />of gasoline. Mr. Ryder replied that he was not at the hearing <br />and did not know that but he thought that the business required <br />it and he did not see why the permit was not granted before. I <br />
