Questions were asked about the title "Zoning Officer" used in correspondence from the Building Department. This term is of interest to Board of Appeals mem- bers because they are aware of Chapter 808 of the General Laws, passed by the ' State Legislature and reference in Ch. 808 to "Zoning Administrator". It is their understanding that the Board of Appeals could appoint a "Zoning Adminis- trator" under Ch. 808. The Board of Appeals gets its authority from Ch. 40A at present. Town Meeting has not accepted Chapter 808 at this time.
