Burnell,Jr. Clerk ADDENDUM 'Mr. Edward A. Palmer December 23,1957 Town Accountant Lexington 73, Mass. Dear Mr. Palmer: It is requested that you carry over for 1958 un- expended Planning Board funds on the following accounts: Town Flaps, authorized under Article 38 by the Adjourned Town ,Meeting held on March 28,19553 and Options for Streets and Recreation Lands, authorized under Article 27 by the Adjourned Town Meeting held on Varch 25, 1957. Unexpected difficulties arose in preparing the new town map so that work has not been completed on this project but is expected to be done within the next few months and within the amount of funds appropriated for this purpose. The Planning, Board continues to be successful in ob- taining most options for one dollar so that expenditure of these funds has been kept to a minimum. The Board feels, however, that this account should be continued to be kept on hand while the Loard negotiates further for land it de- sires to recommend for acquisition by the Town.
