to request the h oderator to appoint a ^ommi ttee to obtain plans and specifications relative to the Proposed Locker Building for the Center Playground, and that the sum of ;600.00 be appropriated for same. The Members were in favor of going along with the Selectmen' s request. The next letter from the Selectmen pertained to the bulldozer which order has been cancelled. It gives the Superintendent of "'ebli c orks authorization to cancel this order which was placed in 1945. In this same letter, the Board further voted to recommend to the Town Meeting that the Road Mach' nery Account be increased from (26,000.00 to ?32,000.00; the 16,000.00 additional to be tr=ansferred from the Excess and Deficiency Account. Nothing was done on this as it was decided to get the complete story from the Board of Selectmen at the joint meeting later on this evening. The next letter read by Chairman Hoyt was the letter requesting the Appropriation Committee to mail the Report of the Committee on Parkin- Facia ties with the Ap- propriation Committee Report. There was a general discussion with regards to this , and finally Ronald D. Brorn made the following su ;esti_on: That a Rubber Stamp rith the following be put on the Report : "This report is distributed through the courtesy of the Appropriation Committee and does not necessar+ ly reflect its sentiments. " If any other reports are to be included in the Appropriation Committee Report, they must be marked in ac- cordance with the Rubber Stamp. The next item discussed concerned the Town Counsel, Mr. Lynch, who advised this Committee as to the law on land Purchase. Mr. Lynch stated that he was sorry that he mis- informed this Committee , but upon further cher'-ing the law, he found that that particular section referred to in his prev, lus letter applied only to Cities and not to Towns. It was stated that Mr. Tropeano was disturbed about the value approved by this Committee. As regards the Mulliken and Russell property, the price stated by the School Comm' ttee was about right; 35,000.00 for the Russell, and 35,50°.00 for the Mulliken property. It is further understood that the Ryders have reduced to writing the statement that they will sell the land requested on Waltham Street which amounts to approximai-ely 14 acres for X1,200.00 an acre. If, - however, when the proposed street is put through this property, they are to be further assessed, the price for this property will then be S'1,500.00 an acre.
