At 8x10 P.M. Leonard W. Perry, Vice President of the Shawmut County
Bank, presented the bank's request for a sign on the office at 44 Bedford
Street~20 Worthen Road. The bank already has a sign on the Worthen Road
elevation and now requests one for the Bedford Street space formerly occu-
pied by the Couette real estate office. Scale drawings were presented
showing a conventional "Shawmut Count Bank" sign with Indian logo used at
many bank locations. After a brief discussion it was VOTED to approve the
sign.
It was then VOTED to approve recent bills for publication and clerical
services in the total amount of $87.00.
At 8:20 P.M. Grace Bellino presented her request for an awning for
Gracie's Restaurant at 1 Meriam Street. The Commission had some difficulty
visualizing the awning from the drawings presented and decided to visit the
site. It then VOTED to approve a black awning with white lettering, 7'6"
aide and 3 1~2' high, projecting out 4' from the wall at the base. Further
details will be incorporated in a certificate to be released when scale
drawings of the lettering are submitted.
The meeting was adjourned, on the site at 1 Me(r~iam Street, at 8:45 P.M.
