As this was an unintentional error it was decided to re -advertise the hearing at no cost to the petitioner. All pertinent material with regard to the above petitions is on file in each individual folder. Following the decisions a discussion was held regarding letters received in reply to an inquiry sent out by the Board as to what other Boards charged for hearings. Replies were received as follows: Arlington - $25.00; Bedford - $15.00; Belmont - $27.00; Concord - $10.00; Needham - Cost of ad and mailing; Stoneham - $15.00; Wakefield $30.00; Winchester - ' None. Since the Lexington charge is at present $20.00 it was considered a good average. Louise M. Macomber, Clerk
