He is now �. unable to rent the stores, and a reliable gentleman is willing to sign a five year lease of that property as a show room for automobiles. This was to be a Hudson�4Essex agency, end they also wished to sell second-hand cars. He felt that an opportunity should be given Mr. Quinn to get a return for his c�4 money. ,r Mr. Maddison inquired if second-hand cars were to be parked on the street, and Mr. Buckley informed him that there would be no cars in front of the store or on the street. Mr. Glynn inquired what the construction of the building was, and was informed that it was a wooden frame building with a ceme]ht basement. Mr. Maddison inquired if gas were to be kept in the axrgs and Mr. Bueklhystated that there would only be enough gas in the second-hand cars as was necessary, and there would be no gas in the cars on the first floor. 'Mr. Wilder, who desires to lease the property, stated that he would use no more gas than necessary in the used cars, and that no used cars would be placed on the first floor as that was entirely for new cars. He intended to stare the used cars in the basement until they could be sold. He stated that he would keep the property looking well. Mr. B. J. Harrington stated that he felt Curve Street was a very narrow street, and that they would probably park the used cars or some cars on Curve Street, and he felt this should not be allowed as this would make it very dangerous for children. He was informed that they did not intend to park cars on Curve Street, but would drive them into the basement. Mr. Harrington stated that he had no objection to the show room, but he did object to having the cars come in on Curve Street. He alto stated that he felt the cement cellar should be made fireproof as there was a tenant on the second floor. Mr. Buckley stated that there would be no parking on Curve Street, and felt that perhaps Mr. Harrington would not object so much if a regulation were passed prohibiting parking on that street. Mr. E. E. Baker, 10 Curve St., also objected to the cars coming in on burve Street. He also, had no objection to the show room on Mass. Avenue. He considered that the most objectionable thing was the additional congestion on Curve Street. Mr..Buckley stated that he wanted to assure the objectors that.Mr. Quinn would do everything to enhance the vilue of the property. Mr. Baker stated that he came not to object, but merely to obtain information. He stated that he felt Mr. Quinn has increased the value of the property immensely, but as a property owner in that vicinity he wished to know the conditions. N 0 T I C E Lexington, Mass.
