It later developed that it would be advisable if further meeting of the Planning Board be held on Monday September 17 at eight o'clock, at which the engineers' Mr. Raymond would be present. W. D. Milne, Clerk. Mr. Emery reported his further discussion of the project with Mr. Ryder, and indicated his feeling that it would be necessary for a development company to be formed by the Ryder interest in order that co-operation might guarantee to the town the betterments payments if the town undertook a work ' of such magnitude. It was felt that a report should more clearly develop the extent of the benefit of the drainage work beyond the immediate area reclaimed and available for building developments which the report indicated to be 185 acres.
