Lowell Supreme Court bars health board from revoking building license
The full bench rules a local board of health cannot revoke a license for erecting a stable before construction, rejecting implied or express authority for such revocation. In 1899 an undertaker received a license, remonstrances followed, the board canceled the license, and the city’s injunction request was denied. The court states the license cannot be revoked by terms or statute and the board lacks power to create uncertainty beyond authorized regulation.
