PLANNING BOARD MEETING II Tuesday,March rch 310 1925. Town Hall, 8 P.M. Present: Chairman Emery, Messrs. J. 0. Tilton, C. E. Glynn, J. H. Duffy, W. D. Milne. Lexington Building Trust. In response to the Board's invitation George A. Warner and his wife Ellie Warner were present and were heard relative to their attitude on proposed extension of Hancock Street ovef land of Lexington Building Trust and abutting theirs, and the offer to buy or trade for certain of their land at the rear of their lot to accomodate grades and curves of the proposed street. Chairman Emery endeavored to induce them to yield sufficiently to assure a suitable layout for the road but they showed disinclination to treat with the Lexington Building Trust. It was finally left that the proposed taking would be staked out so that they could see what it amounted to, also that there should be staked out a strip on the north of their lot to show what the Lexington Building Trust was willing to trade for the taking. The Warners were asked to consider the matter in the light of these representations and meet again with the Board at some time to be arranged later. Mr. J. 0. Richards was again heard as to the willing- ness of the Lexington Building Trust to do anything reasonable to satisy the Warners to such an extent that they would trade. He was asked to supply the town engineer with data to enable the latter to stake out the lines of the proposed street as affecting Warner property, and he promised this. Also he was urged to reconsider proposed street lines in the Lexington Building Trust property with a view to providing suitable through lines to the north, and to arrive as soon as possible at some final scheme of street layout for the property. The meeting adjourned with the understanding that the Board would later view the sites of the proposed streets above mentioned. Wm. D. Milne, Clerk. 11
