McCurdy, Executive Mr. O'Connell informed the Board that the Town has received•recog- nition, on behalf of the Town Report Committee, from.the Freedoms Foundation of Valley Forge of an honor certificate award for the 1972 Town Report for its contribution to better communication in Town Govern- ment. Since the integral part of Town Government is Town Meeting, arrangements could be made with Town Moderator Cole to present the award to Mr. Zehner, Chairman of the Town Report Committee, at one of the Town Meetings. The Board agreed that Mr. O'Connell is to make the arrangements. Chairman Kenney read a memo from the Traffic Safety Committee stating that, at the request of the Police Department, the Committee discussed parking on the Westerly side of Grant Street between Massa- chusetts Avenue and the Railroad bridge. It was felt that reducing the restriction in this area, which calls for No Parking from Massa- chusetts Avenue 225 feet Northerly, would add much needed parking spaces. We currently have nine parking spaces in th•i.s area and the adoption of the amendment to the Traffic Rules and Orders will add three spaces. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to amend the Traffic Rules and Orders as follows: By deleting from Article V, Section 2, Schedule #I, the following: Location, Side From To Type Parking Grant Street West Mass. Ave. 225 Feet Northerly No Parking And by adding to Article V, Section 2, Schedule #I, the following: Location Side From. To Type Parking Grant Street West Mass. Ave. 75 Feet Northerly No Parking Mr. Henry Fradette of Fitchburg met with the Board to present Bicentennial flags to the Board of Selectmen and the Bicentennial Committee.
