SELECTMENIS MEETING - May 14, 1929, A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held at the, Selectmenls Room, Town Office Building at 7:30 P.M. Messrs. Burnham, Custance, Chamberlain, Shannon and Blake were present. The Supt. -of Public Works and the Clerk were also present. Mr. Burnham reported that Mr, Worthen called his attention to the fact that the guides licensed by the Selectmen to guide parties to historical spots were charging the parties desirldg this service a fee which was not reasonable, and he asked that a provision be incorporated in the license requiring the maximum charge for each party guided to be 5011.. The Board therefore decided that inasmuch as complaint had been received of these ections, that it would be a good thing to incorporate this in the license of the guides and it was so voted. The application of William A. Granfield for a gasoline filling stationg was discussed, It was decided that inasmuch as Mr. Granfield definitely violated the provisions of the permit which was granted to him formerly the Bdard did not feel that he showed good faith, and therefore voted not to grant him a permit for two tanks of 1000 gallons each, In this connection also it was decided to notify Mr. Granfield to remove his tanks that were placed in violation of the first permit granted him. It was also voted to notify the Standard oil Company to remove these tanks, In regard to Mr. Granfieldls application for a Common Victualler's license, it was decided to lay this license upon the table until such time as he places himself in good faith with the Board. It was also voted to request the Building Inspector to enforce the Building haws and have Mr. Granfield remove the fruit stand which he has located within 201 of the highway which is not in accordance with the Zoning Laws. Letter was received from Frerleriek J. Spencer asking f'or`e $400 for use' of his. car. Mr. Spencer stated that the Town Accountant would not approve the bill until the Selectmen had given him notifi- cation as to the amount allowed for the use of his car. Mr. Spencer explained that last year he checked up all of•the land and buildings in the Town and this was the reason why he was asking for the $200 additional. Question arose as to whether this amount would be asked for each year after, inasmuch as it was not. understood whether it would or would not be asked for Maximum charge of guides.
