to confonn to local regulations.

the other board, Roger Smith was not there and the one that ones did
not provide them with adequate inforrration like Mr. Smith has provided
us tonight.
Mr. Fitzgerald told Mr. Smith that it was not the policy of the
Zoning Board of Appeals to overturn the reccmœndations of the Planning
Board and it is necessa:ry that we have a full four votes. Our rec-
