573. SELECTMEN'S MEETING APRIL 102 1934. A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held at the Selectmen's Room, Town Office Building, on Tuesday, April 10, 1934 at 7:30 P. M. Messrs, Trask, Gilcreast, Ferguson, Lyons, and O'Connell were present at the meeting. The Clerk was also present. Mr. Fred Longbottom, Building Inspector, came before the Board,talso Mr. Caterino, Senior, and Junior, and a represen- tative, to talk about the stand which had been started by Mr. Caterino and Mr. Longbottom ordered him to stop owing to the fact that he was putting up a structure contrary to the Build - Ing Law. Mr. Caterino wanted to put up an open air market with a canvas covering and chicken wire on the lower part of the stand. His attorney stated that there must have been some misunder- standing about the matter as Mr. Caterino went ahead and spent some money putting up the frame and was then stopped.

The Building Inspector later in the evening reported that the Town Counsel informed him that a stand such as Mr. Caterino Int6nded-to put up could not be construed as a tem- porary stand inasmuch as it was to be permanent, also that he did not believe r- crmld sell from a truck on tM,lbt in- t6mucheab,the �baildingfla*u t0gdires retail stores for the sale of products,.;.but_however, if Mr. Caterino put up an iron or metal building he could do so under the present building law. Mr. Joseph Kelley was the only person present at the hearing and stated that he though a stand of this type would be a detriment to the town.
