Mr. Snow stated that during the past week Mr. Paul J. KcCormack had brought this plan to the office seeking an informal opinion in regard to the same, that several suggestions were given to him, and that he, not having considered these before, decided to discuss them further with Mr. Nylander who had pre- pared the plan for him. Mr. Snow recommended that before this plan is studied fur- ther and submitted to the Board for tentative approval that both the School and the School Sites Committees be informed of the proposal. Mr. Snow thought that there was insufficient roam on the Harrington School site, both for playground use and for any further expansion of the school, and he recommended that steps be taken immediately to acquire additional land for the school site. The Board decided that the plan should be reproduced and that lir. Snow draft for Mr. Hathawayts signature a letter to said committees enclosing the reproduction of the print of�the pro- posed subdivision and suggesting that the cco ni.ttees might wish to consider acquiring additional land for the Harrington School site, and expressing the Board's opinion that in view of the rapid residential growth which was taking place or being planned in the general vicinity of the school the Harrington School grounds are not large enough for both building expansion and playground purposes.
