1981 Annual Report <br />Town of Lexington <br />Massachusetts <br />Cover Picture: Intersection of Massachusetts <br />Avenue and Bedford Street, Patriots Day, 1896. <br />The Minute Man Statue was dedicated four years <br />later. The modest number of vehicles gives no <br />hint of the traffic problems to come in later <br />years, nor of the time and effort spent by citizens <br />and town officials in 1981, trying to untangle <br />traffic - related problems in the center of town and <br />in the Bedford Street - Hartwell Avenue area. We <br />thank S. Lawrence Whipple, Charles A. Butts and <br />the Lexington Historical Society, Inc. for their <br />assistance in identifying the site, and for <br />permission to reprint this photograph as well as <br />the one on page 4. Both pictures appeared in <br />Lexington, A Century of Photographs, a 1980 <br />publication of the Lexington Historical Society, <br />edited by Beverly Allison Kelley. <br />Town Report Committee <br />r <br />yy� x <br />�a oW <br />e' O <br />1/ <br />
