Oct. 14, 1924, <br />PLANNING BOARD MEETING. <br />A meeting of the Planning Board was held on Tuesday evening, Oct. <br />14th., at 8 o'clock, there being present Messrel. Emery, Tilton, Duffy, <br />Worthen, LS. and t"t.D. Brown and Town Engineer French. <br />CO OPERATION WITH <br />MR. MC INTOSH. <br />Mr. Emery reports taking up and discussing at length <br />with Mr. McIntosh the project of an architectural board who <br />should act as a Board of Censors and who should aid purchasers <br />and home builders with suggestions and advice, to the end that <br />a more attractive class of dwellings may be erected and one <br />worthier the community and the Town as a whole. <br />A young draughtsman would probably be required who <br />would prepare sketches, plans and suggested changes under the <br />direction of the Board. <br />Mr. McIntosh thinks the idea full of possibilities. It <br />is the first instance, he says, in his wzperience of a Town's <br />offering to co operate with him. He thinks he would be willing <br />to bear a good part if not the whole of the expense. <br />It is the feeling of the Planning Board, in discussing <br />the project, that if it is put into effect, the submission of <br />plans for the approval of the Architectural Board should be made <br />part of the restrictions. <br />As a start, portfolios might be prepared - showing types <br />of houses, of varying costs, that would meet with the approval <br />of the Board - together with photographs of houses actually <br />built that might be seen - Rs well as, perhaps, estimates from <br />local builders. <br />It is suggested that the Secretary and Mr. Greely and <br />ascertain if he would be willing to serve as one of such a <br />Board. <br />SET * BACKS. <br />Mr. French reports the completion of plans showing <br />agreements for set -backs on Bedford, Parker, Clarke, Muzzey, <br />Mass. Ave. t fromm Clarke to Cedar Sts. j and Waltham Sts. <br />Mr. Emery reports having written Mr. Guthrie in re. <br />lower Mass, Ave. set -backs. He expects to hear from him soon. <br />The Secretary is instructed to call to the attention of <br />of the Board of Selectmen the petitions asking that building lines <br />be established with the request that the necessary steps be taken <br />to secure the benefit of the signatures. <br />CLERK OF THE WORKS. <br />It is informally suggested to the School Building Com- <br />mittee that a Clerk, of the Works be employed for both school <br />' buildings. <br />II� <br />
