During the year the Commission has not deemed it neces- sary to grant any new license for the sale of alcoholic beverages in any form. Two new applications received were given "leave to withdraw". One of the two applicants appealed to Alcoholic Beverage Control Board and was granted an "All Forms Club" license.
The established policy of the Commission relative to rou- tine matters of office procedure has not materially changed. The Commission after inspection and serious consideration de- cided to continue the restriction on, so called, entertainment in all liquor dispensing establishments by banning floor shows, master of ceremonies, and all brass musical instruments, and allowing only radio and music box, for the duration of the War.

ANNUAL REPORTS
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF APPEAL
January 26, 1944.
To the Honorable the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Somerville.
Gentlemen :
The Board of Appeal of the City of Somerville respect- fully submits the following report of its activities during the year ending December 31, 1943.
During the past year it was necessary to hold hearings and take action on twenty-three appeals taken from decisions of the Commissioner of Public Buildings, refusing to grant permits in Zoning, Building and Fire District Ordinance mat- ters. Relief was granted in nineteen cases of appeal and four were refused.
It has been the express intention of your Board at all times 10 act in good faith and without favor or prejudice to any- one, and to grant relief whenever in the opinion of the Board the interests of both the city and the appellant would be most favorably served. Appeals were granted because of no great variance from the existing laws or because of unnecessary hardship which would have been suffered by the appellants.
All of the members of your Board have during the year made it a part of their duty, in conjunction with the work of hearing and deciding appeals, to visit the premises that would be affected by the appeal, so that when the hearing was held the members had a mental picture of just what the appellant wanted.
The powers of the Board of Appeal are regulated by statute and favorable decisions may only be made by a unanimous vote of the full board when in its judgment there is practical difficulty and unnecessary hardship. It is therefore encumbent
233
BOARD OF APPEAL
upon the individual members of the Board to become thorough- ly familiar with the facts in every case. This we have en- deavored to do before forming our opinions and giving deci- sions. After favorable decisions have been rendered it is then the duty of the Building Department to enforce the conditions as stated, and it is a pleasure to report that the fullest co-oper- ation has been received from the Commissioner of Public Build- angs in this regard.
Respectfully submitted,
ALBERT F. BYRNES, Chairman GEORGE C. MULLIN, Secretary GEORGE T. LOWDEN JOHN V. MOTTA S. G. ZAHAROOLIS
