Sitting were Commissioners rnvis,Smith, Parsona, Tailor and
Alternate Mrs-Merriam. Also present was Alternate Howard.
Mr. Davis spoke of the reason fort the adjourned hearing to
Mr. Seloastro. Mr.Beleastro - id they though the question of
a Certificate , etc. should be in the Lease and that the sign
was ordered, not knowing of this restriction. It was also .
brought out that Mr. Gayer,`T`own office, only save permit to
occupy sidewalk. The TownBy-law governing signs is a building
permit affair and is not given by Mr. Gayer.
It was started that Sherwin-Williams would have to be treated as
though they were just coaxing in to find out regarding painting
stare front and erecting; the sign.
Mr.Belc€sstro said if the COminission would, tell them wheat they
rant regarding sign , than he will Immediately take it up with
Cleveland. Sherwin-Williams is lessee of the More .
The colors used on the exterior of the .store and in the sign

Lexington is not their regular sign but is not as large. .colors
used are the same , however. This color on exterior store
front is called. Virginia Green.
