1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />PLANNING BOARD MEETING <br />DEC. 14, 1938. <br />A meeting of the Planning Board was held on Wednesday, <br />December 14, 1938, at 8:00 P. M. All members were present <br />except Mr. Kraetzer. ' <br />The Clerk was instructed to convey to our State senator <br />and representatives the fact that this board is vitally <br />interested in the proposed new Middlesex Turnpike and Lowell <br />Turnpike, both of which are contemplated in the six year <br />program being laid before the Legislature, and to request <br />that we be notified by them when the plans become more <br />definite so that we may confer with them at that time. <br />Mr. Cosgrove, our Town Engineer, was present and dis- <br />cussed the proposed procedure under the Enabling Act at <br />length. Mr. Cosgrove, representing Mr. Raymond as well, <br />made numerous suggestions of practical nature. He is to in- <br />corporate these changes or additions as agreed and submit <br />the final draft to us for approval. <br />Motion carried to the effect that we authorize Mr. <br />Greeley to employ Mr. Fletcher Taft or some other competent <br />person to complete date relative to the types of taxpayers <br />from whom Lexington derives its funds. The idea is that we <br />wish to discover, if possible, the ideal•ty,pe of taxpayer <br />from the town's standpoint, we knowing that our recent con- <br />struction of homes runs to low cost building, and feeling <br />that such building must prove ultimately very costly to the <br />town. The motion authorized Mr. Greeley to spend up to <br />$100.00 for these statistics, this payment to come from our <br />appropriation for engineering. <br />Lowell <br />Turnpike <br />and <br />Middlesex <br />Pike. <br />SItbling <br />Act. <br />Vital <br />statistics <br />Moved, seconded and carried that the Board pay $15.

These specifically concerned <br />development of the land recently donated the town by Mr. <br />Hayden at the corner of Lincoln Street and the athletic` <br />field and the old reservoir and adjacent land bcffdering Parrett <br />Road. The Board could make no definite commitment in either <br />case without further data and study. <br />The meeting adjourned at 10:50 P.
