Ferguson, Gilcreast, Lyons, and potter were present. The Clerk was also present. Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Sheffres appeared before the Board with reference to their application for a junk license, which the Board had refused last week. Mr. Sheffres stated that he thought that he was entitled to a license inasmuch as he paid real estate and poll taxes here and was a resident of the Town.
