jr2ITIiv x OF 'PLANNING BOARD February 7, I9Z4 A meetinc, of the Lexington Planning, Boaj-d was held at the Town Office Buildin£; on 7ednesday evening, February 7, I934, the followin6 bein& present: 1essrs. Duffy, Glynn, Scheib, :rimball, and hobinson, also bdr.Cos6rove, Town EnL ineer. , , TO.>rd �U R N (To�.)oUra„Map) a.p) A discussion of the )ro6rFes of the Town Jap brought out that a la.re;e amount of material and notes have been assembled during the last few weeke,rauch of it under C.7.A. appropriation. Mr.Cosgrove stated that if, as announced, the C.7.A. should be terminated on February I5, the work would necessarily be pract- ically at a standstill; but it is hoped thatadditional funds may be available, and if so, a,,),,roximately7_1rJI5OO,00 of the total P-iloted to the Town would be. assigned to further engineering services and thus mace it possible to continue one crew of four men, including a draftsman, on the Topographical survey until about May first. Meartime, three men from the regular force could work part time on the map; and also much data collected by Metcalf & Tlddy in connection with their drainage studies would be available, and could be used toward the development of the map. �gen ��• Duffy asked of Mr. Cosgrove an estimate of the number the if oi' that could be effec4ively in the work on map, suffic- ient money were obtained fro.:, any source. He replied that two crews, each consisting of an engineer, two field -men, and a draftsman, could work to advantage; and estimated that each crew in a year could complete about 25% of the map. On this basis, . under the rates of wages paid to C.T.A. workers, the whole map would cost about 'x£000.00, an amount which Mr. Cosgrove thought would be difficult to obta.in'from the Town at the present time. Mr. Duffy s,4;gested that Mr. Cosgrove prepare a detailed outline of the amount of work still needed for the completion of the Town idA,p, in such form as might be presented to the e�;ional in an a.ttevi2t to obtain aid from the Federal Goverment. _advisor It was then VOTEM: That Mr. Duffy and Mr. Cosgrove be reauested to conf6r with the Regional Advisor and make any suit- able arrangements which may provide means of completing'the map, possibly by an additional alottment of C.^`.A. funds for hiring the sug6esjaed two engineering crews for the necessary time.
