7-14-58 July 1, 1958 Thomas S. Grindle, Chairman ' Lexington Planning Board 1557 Massachusetts Avenue Lexington 731 M-ssachusetts Dear Mr. Grindle: Our Board is seriously considering the appointment of a committee to investigate the advisability and possi- bility of acquiring the Great Meadows and for what purpose. However, before taking any definite action in this re- gard, we would very much appreciate receiving an opinion from the Planning Board in regards to appointment of such a Committee. Very truly yours, Isl William E. Maloney J:m Chairman, Selectmen 10 July 10,58 William E. Maloney, Chairman , Board of Selectmen Lexington 73, Mass. Dear Mr. Maloney: Reference is made to your July 1, 1958 letter in regard to the Selectmen appointing "a committee to investigate the advisability and possibility of acquiring the Great Meadows and for what purpose." A number of members of the Planning Board, including its chairman, are on vacation. I presume when the board meets again on July 14 it will wish to express its view in regard to the Great Meadows situation. In the mean- time, however, I am taking the liberty of expressing my own opinion in regard to the matter. I have made substantial progress on the over all park and recreation plan which I am preparing for Lexington. I am now engaged, with the help of a temporary (graduate student) assistant in completing a number of project plans. I expect to have these, including the Great Meadows -project, completed by September. I would appre- ciate very much the opportunity of completing and pre- senting these plans for the consideration of all before ' the Selectmen appoint a committee as proposed.
