Mr. Cosgrove stated that he had talked with Mr. Bowser who owns thirty acres of the Vine Brook section which is to be developed. He is not interested in the project at all. The first step to be taken is the relocation of Grant Street. There is a wall along Grannie Hill and thirty feet inside the wall there is solid ledge which makes it impossible to build. He stated that there is about 600 feet to be relocated. This cut would take the Fogg property which has just been sold. It was suggested that the street be put through the swamp land but Pair.
