A report from the Building Inspector was read stating that the former owners have had roomers but on a modest scale. The Zoning By Law of the Town permits taking in four roomers or boarders by a-amily resident therein. Of the 13 rooms, 9 could be used for rental purposes. From the information presented to the Building Inspector and from his observations, the new proposal, operated at its fullest.capacity would require a permit or a variance from the Board of Appeals. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to withhold the decision to issue a Lodging House license for 6 Raymond Street and.to suggest to the new owners that if it is planned to utilize the premises to full capacity they should apply to the Board of Appeals for a permit or variance.

Chairman Kenney read a report from the Director of Public Works/ Engineering in reply to a letter from Mrs. Lora Green, 17 Moon Hill Road, concerning sanding of sidewalks in and around schools. A report was read from the Director of Public Works/Engineering stating that it is his understanding that the School Department is re- sponsible for the maintenance of school property, namely, buildings, grounds, and parking areas. Our sanding operation includes all these areas except sidewalks. Sidewalks are sanded outside the business area, as needed, by hand from a truck as time and manpower will allow. With 46 miles of sidewalks to plow, it is not practical for us to in- clude sanding them without special equipment. The Board agreed to inform Mrs. Green -
