Present were <br /> Commissioners Wilbur M. Jaquith, Chairman; Georgia H. Williams, Secretary; <br /> Thomas J. Holzbog; S. Lawrence Whipple; and Associate Commissioner Oliver <br /> F. Hooper who was appointed to serve for Commissioner Donald J. Shaw. <br /> An application has been received from The Threaded Needle. Following <br /> discussion, it was agreed that the sign could be hung for April 19th. <br /> At 8:10 P.M. Kim Fillmore presented the new sign for The Toad Stool. <br /> The sign is 2S" x 52", painted on both sides, letters for The Toad Stool <br /> are in black, the toadstool in orange, green toad at base of toadstool <br /> sitting on green grass, and white brackets on side. Mr. Jaquith stated that <br /> the Board of Appeals will probably insist that it be fastened at both top <br /> and bottom. It was moved by Mr. Holzbog, seconded by Mr. Hooper, and VOTED <br /> that the sign be approved after drawings have been submitted with the con- <br /> dition that the Board of Appeals approve sign and brackets. The hearing <br /> <br /> was adjourned at 9:20 P.Pt. <br /> Then followed discussion on a new flagpole for the Battle Green. Mr. <br /> <br /> McSweeney has presented four proposals for hearing before the Commission <br /> next month. He is unable to get a wood pole so is proposing one of steel, <br /> aluminum, or fiberglas. Discussion followed on the three proposals. <br /> Mr. Jaquith reported that the Lexington Bicentennial Committee has <br /> offered to present to the Town as a permanent memorial to the Bicentennial ICI <br /> a plaque to be on or at the base of the flagpole with the names of the mem- <br /> bers of the Bicentennial Committee on the plaque. <br /> Mr. Jaquith reported that the Appeal in the Forg case has been withdrawn. <br /> It was moved, seconded, and VOTED to issue a Certificate to F. <br /> Gordon and Ethel A. Sullivan with respect to a change in the exterior archi- <br /> tectural feature of the dwelling at 1351 Massachusetts Avenue, which is <br /> <br /> within the Munroe Tavern District. <br /> The meeting was adjourned at 10:25 P.M.
