Also on Monday afternoon Council members recommended that a public
hearing be set for their July 9 meeting on a request from Mrs. Jenny

Merritt Street home closed. Following the July public hearing the Town
will appoint a Board of Viewers to evaluate the request.
In their final action Council members recognized the South Boston Lions
Club which is celebrating its 80th anniversary this week.
