time. A check was made by telephone with Mr. Stevens as to the

the health angle. The Board favored granting permission to Catalde
Mr. Cataldo with definite stipulated restrictions . Dr. Cosgrove &
Wad visited properties and talked with neighboring property Kineen '
owners . Inclined to feel others will ask for same privilege
if Father Kineen receives permission. The Board is not in-
