Plan re- corde.d.at Registry of Deeds in Book 332, page 23 a copy of which is in the Engineer's office in land and lotting drawer 455. The Chairman said that he thought a letter should be written to Mr. Walker, giving the exact description of the land, and ask him'to submit a firm price to the Board. The Board will then decide whether or not to submit it to the Town Meeting. Mr..Potter moved that the Clerk write a letter to Mr. Walker, giving a description of said land, and ask what price the bank wants for same. Mr. Rowse seconded the motion, and it was so voted. Land at Wal. St. & Park Drive Mr. Cosgrove reported that a claim for blasting damages at 27 Carville Avenue, in the amount of $20.00 had been re- ceived from Mr. G. Ware. Ware Mr. Rowse moved that the letter be referred to Mr. claim Wrightington with the request that he acknowledge the same. Mr. Potter seconded the motion, and it was so voted. At 8:10P. M. Toras Bashian appeared before the Board. He said that he had a stone wall between the two fields on Mass. Avenue; the field that is out across the street on the right going out, and the field on the left as it is now. The stone wall was between these two fields. When construction wort/ was done on Mass. Avenue the stone wall was taken away, by the Wellington place, to raise the ground higher in order to fill it up. He said that the Board of Selectmen at that time were going to put the stone wall back on Mass. Avenue as they were going to have a lot of stones left over. Mr. Bashian said that those were the stones the Town took out and dumped some place else, so the place stayed without a stone wall. He said that evidently rains washed the fence away and in some places the fence is bare, without protection;,being held together with a wire. Mr. Bashian said that the fence on Wood Street is no protection whatever. His animals have to be tied, and if they become loose will run onto someone elsets land. He said on Wood Street, the whole length of the wall is washed away. He wantd the Town to give him back his original fence so that he can protect his animals. The Chairman asked him, if the Selectmen felt the Town was responsible, would he want a fence or a stone wall. Mr. Bashian said that it was impossible to get his stone wall back so he would be satisfied with some kind of a fence to protect his animals.
