STATE CAN'T STOP GASOLINE STATION
Hayden'S Permit Antedated New Law, StoeCkel Advises
BOWLING LEAGUE FORMED
Many Prizes Offered In Industrial Loop - Heavy Night Storm Does Much Damage - Reception to TcaChers-Merry Makers Elect.

There is no possibility of revok- , ing the permit issued by the state for the erection of gasoline station at the corner of East Main street and Neal court. Commissioner Rob- bins B. Stoeckel of the state motor vehicle department has advised the selectmen. This station, a permit for which was obtained by Stanley M. Smith through Robert l.. Hay den, was opposed by East Main street residents. who submitted two petitions to the state because of their desire to retain the residential character of the thoroughfare. The permit having been issued before the new law, providing for local ap- proval before the granting of a per init, the state finds itself unable to reverse its previous decision, and | the station, construction of which has already been begun. will be carried to completion.
 The letter of Commissioner Stoeckel to the selectmen is. in part 1 as follows:
 MT. Hayden had his, location at ] the above address inspected on No- vember IS, 1926. and took out li- cense for same in May, 1927.
 The new law which gives the mayor. Wardens, or selectmcn in q ] town of over 10000 population power 10 approve or reject stations | int ofS I,Ik, inasmuch as MT. Hayden has pass, ed his inspection and paid his li- cense fee 1t is impossible for this office to repeal his license at this date"
