Conversations with Mr. Raymond and fir. Cosgrove indicate that there is no hope for P. W. A. aid in providing the pro- Town posed Town Meeting Map. Mr. Ellis is to obtain an estimated Meeting overall cost based on photostatic reproduction and experimenta- Map tion will be carried on to settle various questionable details.
