of approximately fifteen houses and the only ones
opposed; adjacent to Mr. Brucchi, were Mr. Adams an

too far away to be affected.

voted to grant Mr. Brucchi a permit to eep only
2 horses, 2 sheep and 75 poultry.

for permission to keep three ponies at 904 Massachusetts

to deny the application.
Application was received from Joseph Monsignore
for a permit to keep four cows and twelve poultry.
Mr. Jackson recalled that the Board originally
refused to grant this permit because there were
objections from the neighbors. However, Mr. Monsignore's
argument is that he is operating a Slaughter House and
has to keep cows some times to fatten. There is no
objection to the poultry.
