Sidewalk line at Edison Co. Mr. Bashian said that he had a right to the stone wall as other neighbors had their stone walls back. He said that he was not looking for trouble and he would like to co- operate with the Town, but he just wanted a fence to pro- tect his animals. Mr. Sarano Asked if there were only two posts bare now and Mr. Bashian replied that there were just two. Mr. Bashian retired at 8215 P. M. The Chairman asked how it would be if we wrote a letter to Mr. Trask about the fence. Mr. Cosgrove said that the wall was one that would never keep cattle within the pro- perty. Mr. Sarano said that they promised to put up a wire fence but it was never done. Mr. Cosgrove said that the wall was removed and the high wall opposite the house on the.far side of the Avenue contains most of that stone. The Chairman asked if the Board would want Mr. Cosgrove to talk with Mr. Trask and ask if he did promise a new wall. Mr. Sarano said that they had promised to put in a two foot retaining wall. The Chairman asked Mr. Cosgrove to have an estimate made giving the minimum cost of a fence and to re- port to the Board two weeks from now. Mr. Cosgrove retired at 8:20 P. M. Mr. Greeley appeared before the Board to discuss the matter of establishing the sidewalk line on Massachusetts Avenue in front of the Boston Edison Co. Mr. Greeley asked if the Selectmen would contact the Boston Edison Co. Phe Chairman suggested that where the Planning Board could ex- plain more clearly just what they have in mind, that they consult with the Boston Edison Co. and then advise the Board as to the result. Mr. Potter moved that Mr. Greeley communicate with the Boston Edison Co. relative to the setback of the sidewalk line on Mass. Avenue and report to the Board. Mr. Sarano seconded the motion, and it was so voted. Mr. Greeley retired at 8:30 P. M. Mr. Morse appeared before the Board to discuss welfare matters and retired at 9:20 P. M.
