Massachusetts Appeals Court
Decided January 14, 1985PublishedCited by 31 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtKass, J.
From 1966 to 1972, Cardinal Cushing College (Cushing) used the buildings involved in this controversy as dormitories. 2 Newbury Junior College (Newbury), a new owner of a portion of the former Cushing campus, applied on October 28, 1982, to the selectmen of Brookline for a lodging house license under G. L. c. 140, § 23, as appearing in St. 1981, c. 351, § 73, so that it might use the buildings as dormitories to accommodate 167 students, two fewer than the town had allowed to Cushing. The selectmen, claiming untrammeled discretion to grant or deny such an application, denied it.
