They have looked Lexington over quite <br />thoroughly and this site, because of its size, location, <br />and availability, as well as price, is particularly <br />suited to their needs. <br />The situation is not substantially different <br />from what it was this past summer. In the meantime they <br />have become acquainted with the neighbors and abhtters, <br />and through conferences with them, their mutual mis- <br />understandings have been cleared up. Several of the <br />neighbors have been kind enough to appear this evening <br />and there are letters from others stating that they <br />would be in favor of granting this petition. <br />They are not going to take the Board's time to <br />explain what the organization -is, or their objectives, <br />because they feel that members of the Board know the <br />story quite well. <br />Mr. Locke asked the location of this property. <br />Mrs. Packard said it was just over the top of Concord ' <br />Hill; right-hand side going towards Concord - across <br />from the Barnes place - almost directly across from <br />the Water Tower. It doesnit have the appearance of being <br />
