Legislative History

(1949 Rev., S. 2237; 1958 Rev., S. 13-118; 1963, P.A. 226, S. 98; 1967, P.A. 234.) History: 1963 act replaced previous provisions: See title history; 1967 act added provision requiring permittee to conform to regulations prescribed by commissioner and reworded provisions for clarity and economy of expression. Commissioner's agreement to construct new road sections to relieve traffic congestion upon completion by defendant of a special development district was sufficient evidence for town council to conclude traffic congestion would probably not result from such change in use. 159 C. 212.
