19 1 1 MEETING, SEPT. 69 1921 All Members Present. The records of the last meeting were read and approved. Mr. Edgar J. Thivierge came before the Board with refer- ence to the automobiles stopping at his drug store at the corner of Waltham Street and Mass. Avenue being driven from standing on Waltham Street outside of his store. He stated that he was losing trade as a result of the police daiving care from standing on the street. The Board informed Mr. Thivierge that it was their in- tention to regulate traffic at this point to the best interests of the public but at the same time they did not intend to injure his trade. It was decided to allow the teams bringing supplies to the drug store to park on Waltham Street until they had delivered their goods to the store but that all other automobiles should park on Mass. Avenue in front of the drug store. The Police Department was accordingly notified of this action. Mr. George R. Hobbs formerly connected with the East Boston Box Factory came before the Board to secure their assur- ance as to the possibility of any objections to the erection of a Box Factory in the district between the East Lexington Depot and the Arlington line. Mr. Hobbs explained that he intended to erect a $50,000 building and that he would purchase land enough so that there would be disturbance to no one. After Mr. Hobbs explained hie proposition and showed sketches to the Board of the building formerly had in East Boston and which was burned, the Board stated that they could see no objections to any such building being erected in this locality. A license was granted to William Viano to operate a moving picture and vaudeville theatre at #462 Mass. Ave., the fee for same being $25. A license was granted to Fred N. and Ernest E. Viano to operate six bowling alleys at #466 Mass. Ave., the fee being $10 and the license to expire May 1, 1922. The attention of the Board was called to the fact that Nicholas Constantine sells vegetables from his wagon at the corner of Waltham Sto and the State Road on Sundays, The Board ' notified the police to have this stopped as Constantine does not raise the vegetables himself and does not sell them on his own property.
