Selectmen face a full agenda on Tuesday night, starting with a public hearing at 6:45 on the liquor license for Our Place Saloon. The bar was the scene of a brawl that later ended in the stabbing death of a Raynham man in Bridgewater's downtown in January. Selectmen are considering a license revocation. At 7 p.m. the selectmen have scheduled a hearing on an application from Joseph Palmieri to increase above-ground gasoline storage at Joe's Service Station on Main Street. And at 7:15 p.m., the board will hold the required public hearing on three road acceptances being proposed for the May 1 annual Town Meeting: for Old Willis Farm Road, Grange Court and Little Pond Circle. Selectmen will meet in the Memorial Building on South Street. - Christine Wallgren ALS SYMPOSIUM The Massachusetts chapter of the ALS Association is holding its annual "Living with ALS" symposium April 29 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Conference Center in Dedham, where the chapter is based.
