A public hearing was held on January ll, 1946. The Board preferred not to act upon the petition until such time as the petitioner would furnish information in regard to the ability of the company to take care of the problem of parking cars. The Chairman read a letter from William M. Hogan, attorney for the petitioner, stating that an examination of the matter disclosed that at the present time as many as five cars belong- ing to employees may be in the vicinity at one time and that in addition, there is the possibility that four light repair trucks might be in the vicinity of the building during the lunch hour. He further stated that there is not sufficient room on the company land to take care of the parking problem. The company is now in- vestigatinag the possibility of obtaining the use of the Belfry Club parking space and as soon as they have some definite inform- ation on the subject, they will forward same to the Board. It was decided to defer any decision until the Board re- ceives the proposal of the New England Telephone and Telegraoh Company as to what they can and will doabout the parking problem. Pair.
