The subscriber, inhabitants of the town of Lex-
ington and Burlirgton [Burlington], in said County, re-
spectfully represent, that the public convenience
and necessity require that a new road be located
and built in said town of Lexington, commencing
at a point on the main road or street leading from
West Cambridge in said Connty [County] to Lexington
centre, near the depot of the Lexington and West
Cambridge Railroad, at said Lexington, and
between the dwelling house on the estate late of R.
Meriam [Merriam], deceased, and that of Mrs. Muzzy [Muzzey], and
from thence running northeasterly and northerly
aaross the lands of the heirs of said Meriam and of
said Meriam Estate, of Mrs. Muzzy, Gorham Big-
elow, Abijah W. Farrer, L. Turner, H. A. Hos-
mer, and to or near lands of N. Mulliken to or near
the house late of H. Read; thence over lands of J.
Fisk [Fiske] to a point on the main road leading from Lex-
ington to Burlington in said County near the dwell-
ing house late of Wm P. Gibbs of said Lexington,
deceased.
And your petitioners further represent that said
road would connect immediately with the road from
Waltham to said Lexington thereby forming a more
direct and easy communication between Waltham
and Burlington through said Lexington, and great-
ly facilitating the means of travel and transporta-
tion.
Wherefore your petitiouers pray that said road
between the points, &c., as aforesaid, described, be
laid out and built as a public highway; and such
other action be taken in the premises as to your
Honorable Board may seem meet and proper, and
as in duty bound will ever pray, &c.
