MATCH ACT The Board agreed that the improvements should be conducted so that the Landfill will not be enlarged into Tophet Swamp.

The application for permission to add one horse to the ex- LOVERING isting permit for 2 ponies by Mrs. Emily Lovering, 37 Grove St„ HORSE was reviewed by the Board. Mr. Heustis said cards had again been sent to the abuttors stating that an application to keep an additionalhorse had been received. There were objections from the abuttors. The abuttors felt that the increased activity created by the exercising of the animals and the riding lessons that went on was more than they wanted. They also felt that a third horse could present a prob- lem to the health and safety of the neighborhood. The Board discussed this problem and then voted that due to the objections of the abuttors and the fact that to qualify for the original permit Mrs. Lovering had to obtain permission from Mr. Johnson to use some of his land this permit should be denied. Motion made and duly passed. The application for a permit to keep one horse by Lisa LORING Loring at 545 Bedford Street was discussed by the Board.
