Liessrs, Finery, Scheibe, puffy and Glynn Frere present. The Town Engineer and secretary 1,rere also Present. The oi�rn Fingineer• presented and explained plans of the i.,rash property and Allen Street development. The matter was considered and it ;!as decided that now is the time to lay out -this entire section for future development. Mr. Emery stated that this is an isolated development and has nothing to do with others around it, and_ suggested that the Board refuse to accept the layout until it is carried throwzh to the other three sections. There Is ) vast area of land that has got to be developed and now is the time to la ;r out the principal roads. It w9 s voted to request the Town Engineer to consider the larger area surrounding the 1,_orash property aad to plot the best locations for throut-h roads In different directions tying the properties in ,.rith the best through roads and those about to be laid down by the State, together with the extension of the so-called R-�*der development.
