At this hearing evidence was offered on be- <br />half of the petitioner tending to show: <br />That they own a house with approximately twelve rooms, <br />situated on about S acres of land at the corner of Bedford <br />Street and Winter Street; <br />that they wished to set apart three rooms and a bath <br />on the second floor, as an apartment with separate facilities <br />for light housekeeping; <br />that there would be the same entrances to the house as <br />now existing, and the same central heating plant. <br />No one appeared in opposition. <br />At the close of the hearing the Board in private session <br />on September 19, 1941 gave consideration to the subject of the <br />petition and voted unanimously in favor of the following <br />findings: <br />1.
