Burnham, Blake, Shannon, Custance, and Chamberlain were present. �e Supt. of Public Works and the Clerk were also present. The Board viewed the plan of East Street in the Engineering Office. The plan called for a layout of 50 feet. The Board also viewed the tentative layout of street connectigg East Street with Borth Hancock Street across private lands. Discussion arose as to whether the State wo, ld. take over this highway from Lowell. Street through Bast Street and over private lands either to North. Hancock Street or carrying a street parallel to North Hancock Street or carrying a street parallel to North Hancock Street across lands to Bedford Street approximately opposite the Coal Company. If the State took over this highway it would have to be a layout of 60 feet. Its was therefore decided that the Town Engineer sho•ild consult with the State Engineer V, East St. plan. UO find out whether or not the State wouli look favorably on this layout before taking any steps. The Board viewed the plan of Hill Street as laid out by the Town Engineer, and expressed the opinion that a definite layout of this street should be Hill Street made while the Town owns the Almshouse property, and there are less land owners to deal with than perhaps at a future date. the Board therefore voted to proceed to lay out Hill Street. The Board signed the following order of their findings on, the hearing of the WLEX broadcasting station.
