John A. Murdock, trustee, vs. Board of Appeals of Duxbury.
    April 4, 1961.
    The case was submitted on briefs.
    
      Bobert J. Geogan, Town Counsel, & Paul F. X. Moriarty, for the defendant.
    
      John M. Corcoran, for the plaintiff.
   Decree affirmed. This is an appeal from a final decree of the Superior Court under G. L. c. 40A, § 21, as amended, which annulled a decision of the board of appeals of Duxbury as in excess of its authority. The board’s decision denied the plaintiff permission to build a dwelling house giving as a reason that there would be a violation of a zoning by-law relating to minimum size and frontage of lots. The by-law is unique, and the only question is one of its individual interpretation. We are of opinion that the judge made the right interpretation.
