He further stated that his family will <br />move to Lexington some time this summer. <br />Mr. Russell inquired as to the area of the property <br />and Mr. Mancuso replied that there are about seven <br />acres. He said that one side of the street is all <br />woods; there is a small farm house in back of his <br />house and a large eighteen room house that Mr. Ryder <br />owns. He said that his father would like to fix the <br />place up so that it will not be a fire hazard as it <br />is now. <br />Mrs. Mancuso informed the Board that they do not in- <br />thnd to build and that there are a couple of buildings <br />that her husband intends to tear down. She stated that <br />they purchased the property as a farm.
