    Alvin B. Allen vs. Board of Appeals of Fall River & others.
    February 3, 1967.
    The case was submitted on briefs.
    
      William A. Torphy, Frank M. Silvia, Jr., & Frederic J. Torphy for the defendants de Arruda.
    
      Charles I. Tucker & James T. Waldron for the plaintiff.
   This is an appeal from a final decree of the Superior Court annulling a decision of the board of appeals of the city of Fall River which granted a variance for the construction of a gasoline service station on land in a general residential zoning district. The trial judge ruled that the board “fails to state the existence of each of the prerequisites to the granting of a variance.” G. L. c. 40A, § 15. We agree and see no need to repeat the legal principle involved in this case. Barnhart v. Board of Appeals of Scituate, 343 Mass. 455.

Decree affirmed.
