REGUUR MEETING, JUNE 5, 1928. Regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held at the Selectmen's Office at 7:30 P.M. Messrs. Burnham,.Custance, Ballard, Robertson and dhamberlain were present. The Supt. of Public Works and the Clerk were also present. Prendergast Brothers, who have made application for a permit to erect a gasoline filling station at the corner of Fottler and Massachusetts Avenues, came before the Board together with their attorney, Francis Burke, to discuss the possible lay out of a filling station at that location-. It was suggested that inasmuch as the lot which Prendergast Brothers purchased for the filling station was rather narrow to provide for the proper outlets for drives, that a lay out similar to the lay out on Massachusetts Avenue at the corner of Tufts Street in Arlington could be carried out. It was suggested that the gentlemen see if they could work out a plan of this kind and present it to the Board at a later date. The hearing to change the name of the section of Forest Street which is unaccepted to Belfry Terre'ce was declared open. Mr. Roy A. Ferguson, Edward Wood and Clifford A. Currier were present. Mr. Wood inquired if it was intended to change the name of the whole of Forest Street, but he was assured it was only the unaccepted part which skirts Belfry Hill. The Chairman explained that owing to the fact that the Lexington Times omitted the second notice to be published in the paper in regard to this hearing, that the hearing was not legal and would have to be re -advertised for two weeks in the local newspaper. The Chairman stated that the hearing would be re -advertised and if the gentlemen present had no objections, they need not appear at the next hearing as the Board would consider changing the name to Belfry Terrace.
