McIntosh and Gannett. LOWER MASS. AVE. SET -BACKS Mr. Guthrie reports difficulties in obtaining signa- tures to the petition for a 15' set -back from Oak St. to the Arl- ington line, the objections cheifly being: 1.

Mr. Emery will write a letter to Mr. Guthrie covering these points, and the Board expresses a willingness to meet with the residents of this section and discuss the problem with them. MR. MC' INTOSH.
