The Sun Oil Company has not submitteu 4490 V V V evidence that they can be successful with another gasoline eervice station in this' area. The area is already supplied with service station needs and that he for one did not Intend to create a bad situation here because of bad actionyin the past. The cquit'i have prow that because a thing exists in the past does not bind city to go 41 with same ailment. It' is time now t'e; stop this type of thing. This commission does have the right to determine growth of city by the type of business in the city. Mrd Charest stated that Sun Oil Oompany would be happy to supply any figures that commission re9uests pertaining to this service station being a success.
