for them. She has three rooms that can be let to tourists.
The house that she owns, was formerly -the Warren Dais

a tea room she may need these rooms for the help. She
wanted to have a special lobster and chicken dinner. She
already put up a sign advertising to accommodate -tourists
just to see how much business she could get on that road.
She has not as yet had any business. She purchased the

McIntosh. She made quite extensive repairs to the house
inside to make it more convenient but she has not added
anything and did not intend to add on any more rooms.

matter on the table until such time as all the members
of the Board considered the application.

were read and approved.
The Board discussed the application directed to the
Board of Selectmen by Frank Perkins for permission to
install two 1000 gallon gasoline tanks as an accessory
use to his automobile repair business operated at the
corner of Mass. Ave. and Oak Street. The Board discussed
the matter and felt that Mr. Perkins need not make an
application and pay the fee of ten dollars inasmuch as it
was not the intention of the Board to grant any permits
in a residence district.
