Gilereast and Mrs. Helen C. Whittemore, Clerk, were present, <br />The hearing was declared open on the Boards notice of in- <br />tention to layout Gleason Road from Simonds Road to Fuller Read <br />a distance of approxdmately 617 feet. <br />Those present were Mr. names little, Mr. A. C. Mortimer and; <br />Mr. Frederick R. Stevens. <br />Mr. Mortimer stated that he was instrumental in securing the <br />signatures for the acdeptance of this street. Although he lived <br />on Dexter Road•, he desired to have this street accepted so that <br />there would be drainage in the street. He presented a petition <br />signed by 15 out of the 18 owners on the street and this representee) <br />more than 75 per cent of the owners of property. <br />A telephone call was received from Mr. Loren J. Farrar stating <br />that he did not object particularly to the road being built, but <br />he did not want to have it built at this time inasmuch as he was <br />not earning very much money and could not afford to pay the assessment. <br />Mr. Mortimer inquired whether or not the construction of the <br />street would be the same as Harding and Simonds Road. It appeared <br />to him from the high cost of the estimate of $4950. for construc- <br />ting the street that the construction would be the same as the <br />Dexter Road construction which was a higher price, and he wanted <br />every consideration possible to lower the cost of constructing <br />the street. <br />Mr. Little stated that he had talked with the Town Engineer <br />and was informed by him that the estimate given was in all probability <br />very high. <br />Mr. Mortimer asked that if it was possible to reduce the cost, <br />that the Selectmen'be requested to do no. It was agreed that the <br />information would be sent to him as to whether or not the construo- <br />tion would be the same as Dexter Road or the some as H arding and <br />Simonds Roads. <br />Mr. Little asked that the work be done on this street the <br />same time that it was done on the other streets that are to be <br />built in this vicinity. <br />No further objection was presented, and the hearing was <br />declared closed. <br />A true record, Attest: <br />Clerk. <br />
