The Board noted Mr. Lyon's letter suggesting that a plan be made of MR. LYON'S the land that the town wishes to acquire from Goldberg and Sheldon at LETTER 19 Muzzey St., and offering to get the legal documents signed.

The Board requested the Planning Director to prepare a map, including a ten foot right of way, and a letter of intent to be signed by Mr. Goldberg.
