A petition has been filed with the Andover Board of Appeals requesting, among other things, the right to operate a used-car sales lot at the corner of Main and Haverhill Streets in Shawsheen Square.

We are opposing this petition on the grounds that it would mar the appearance of the square, depreciate the values of all property in the vicinity, and is against the best inter- ests of the entire community.

Every public-spirited property-owner in Shaw- sheen has an interest in preserving the scenic and architectural standards of the square which is the central unit of this model com- munity. Your objection to this proposal should be filed immediately as the hearing on the petition has already been held.
