In view of this, the Chairman invited expression of any new thoughts on the subject.

Mrs. Rose Meyer spoke in favor of business reclassification. Judge Gaffey spoke, stating he did not favor or object to the proposed plan but he again.-arged favorable action on petition to rezone Park Road. Fred J. Meehan, ovaier of the property at 25 Highland Avenue, indicated that he did not wish to be disturbed in the use of his property as a home and asked that the zone classification remain as it is. After hearing other dis- cussions from the floor for and against the rezoning, Commissioner Shattuck made a motion, which was duly seconded and unanimously voted as follows: "That the four lots on Highland Avenue and all of the Park and Primrose Roads property facing these two streets be rezoned to limited commercial use, with the necessary setbacks ordered for Bayswater, Highland and Lorton Avenues, and Park and Primrose Roads."
