Glynn, Ferguson, Driscoll and Locke were present. The Acting Secretary, Elinor Moakley, was also present. Mr. Glynn was elected Clerk Pro -tem. At 8:00 P.M. hearing was declared open on the appli- cation of Charles E. and Charlotte E. Hadley for permission to maintain a carpenter's shop at 6 Oak Street, Lexington. Messrs. Warren, Elliott and Frank Hadley appeared in favor of the application. The Clerk Pro -tem read the notice of the hearing. Mr. Warren Hadley stated that they desired to use the premises as a carpenter's shop to make over furniture, store tools, etc. He stated that the premises was rented to Frank Thompson, who repairs furniture, and to Mr. Jameslrwin, who Stores his tools and equipment there.

Mr. Hadley said that Mr. Thompson maintained a sign there approximately three feet square, and Mr. Irwin also maintained a sign approximately 10 feet by one foot. The Chairman stated that the previous permit did not allow any signs on the premises. Mr. Hadley asked if it would be possible to renew the permit and have permission to main- tain these signs included in it. Mr. Hadley said that neither sign was very prominent. Mr. Hadley also stated that they would appreciate it if the permit could be granted for a term longer than one year inasmuch as they felt that $5.00 was quite a lot to pay for the permit renewal each year. The Chairman informed them that the matter would be taken under consideration and they retired. The Board considered the application of Charles E. and Charlotte E.
