Members of the Plannin Board suog;ested that the Capper property might be a logical place for a schloolhozse, and that if a filling station were placed at the ;junc,tio_7 of 11altham and "'fiddle Streets it would spoil the location for a sc',00l and also a filling station would not have a sidewalk in front of czame where the children could walk, and the children would take the short cut throu�;h the filling, station yard where the automobiles drive in for gasoline, thereby causing; a hazardous condition. On the whole the Plannin; Board felt that the proposition of a fillinL-, station_ r,,t this -articular location should be refused.
