u SELECTMENIS MEETING. JUNE 160 1931. A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held at the Selectments Room, Town Office Building at 4';-30 P.M. Messrs. Trask, Custance, Blake and Gilcreast were present. The Supt. of Public Works andthe Clerk were also present. Messrs. Piehette & Ahern who own a block of. stores at the corner of Independence and Massachusetts Avenues complained about the curbing being painted in front of their stores. The frontage of the stores is 801 long, and the curbing was painted so that very little parking could be done in front of the stores. He felt that this was discriminating against him, inasmuch as in front of the stores in the center of the Town parking is allowed. The Board agreed to go down there and view the conditions with an idea of adoptixg something definite about parking in that vicinity. They also agreed in their report to the Town Meeting that they would make a further study of the parking conditions. ' Hearing was declared open at 8 P.M. on the application of Harold C. Denham for permission to erect a one car garage on his premises at 8 Jackson Court... The Building Inspector handed in a plan which showed the location of a Town drain in that section, and suggested that the building might be located in a different location on the lot, although if it were moved further on the lot it might destroy some of Mr. Denham's bushes. The Board voted to grant a permit to Mr. Denham provided he removed the garage three feet so that the drain will go under the middle of the garage, and the Board felt that if this were done, it would be easier to tunnel under the garage if the drain had to be fixed. This is subject to the approval of the Building Inspector. Pichette & Ahern re parking in front of stores. H.C.Denham garage permit . Permission was granted to the E.E.I.Co. and the N.E. Tel. & Tel.
