A. <br />Thurston whose house was directly opposite, stated that <br />she objected to a filling station at this location. <br />' <br />Miss Marion McLeod stated that she was a tenant in the <br />house of the L. A. Thurston estate and she objected to a <br />filling station being erected. <br />Letter was received by the Board of Selectmen from <br />Errol H. Locke, representing Mrs. Bennett, owner of the <br />house this side of the proposed station, objecting to the <br />granting of the permit. <br />Letters were received from the following persons by the <br />Board of Appeals objecting: Errol H. Locke, representing <br />Mrs. Bennett, Olive Myers, Daniel J. O'Connell and Freda -R.. <br />Bond. <br />Mr. Maddison informed Mr. Spencer he should tell what he <br />had in mind in regard to a filling station inasmuch as they <br />did not feel they could postpone the matter if he did not have <br />any evidence to present. He stated, however, that he had <br />no explanation and no plans at the present time. The Board <br />explained to him that it would be necessary to advertise <br />another hearing and notify the abuttors so that they would <br />be given an opportunity to be heard on the application if he <br />desired to postpone the matter. <br />No further evidence was offered, and the hearing was <br />adjourned. <br />' <br />The Board of Appeals adjourned to the Conference Room <br />to discuss the applications on hand and after considering the <br />application of J. F. Browne for permission to maintain a <br />riding school at the Kelsey Ranch, so called, on Concord <br />
