1 MEETIYuG, NOV. 22, 1921, All Members Present. The records of the last meeting; were read and approved. Mrs. Alice U. Miner came before the Board relative to her application for a gasoline tank with a capacity of 1000 gallons underground to be located at the corner of Lowell St. and Bartlett Ave. Mr. David H. Fulton, Lawyer and James E. Burke came before the Board to protest against the granting of this license. Mr. Fulton represented Mr. Harvey C. Wheeler of Lowell St. He protested on the ground that a tank would be injurious to future development of land in that section; that the street was too narrow and a tank would only tend to congest traffic and that it was a danger to children. He urged that the license be not granted. The hearing was declared closed and the Board voted not to grant the license. Mr. Hans Sorensen came before the Board in response to the Request of the Board relative to the proposed garage on his pro- perty. Mr. Sorensen explained that he could not erect a garage on the other side of his house, as suggested by Mrs. Leary at last weeks meeting, as there was a twenty foot drop on that side. ' After discussing the matter it was voted to grant Mr. Sor- enson a license to erect a garage on his premises as designated. Mr. William Murphy of 25 Mass. Ave. came before the Board as a result of the hearing called on his application for a public garage at his premises. The matter of reconstructing an old building to be used as a garage was discussed with the Build- ing Inspector. Mr. Murphy was informed that the building would have to be fire proof. It was called to his attention that some revisions were to be made in the Building laws and that the matter would come up at the next town meeting. Mr. Murphy stated that he was not in any particular hurry and that he would wait until after the next meetigg and take the matter up again with the Board. Letter was received from the Lexington Gas Co, calling the attention of the Board to the fact that there were only fourteen customers on Bedford 5t. Hill St, Shirley St and Tewksbury St., although the Board anticipated that there would be upwards of one hundred users if the main was extended up Bedford St. Reply was made to the company that the Board was very much surprised at this as there were more than fourteen names on the petition to the company asking for gas. The Board also informed the company that they would take the matter up with the persons who so urgently requested the gas.
