John Baskin to subdivide <br />parcel of land lying between Williams Road and State Highway and to lay <br />out a street approximately 2250 ft, long, running northerly from Williams <br />Road at Gleason Road and joining again with Williams Road at Blake. Road. <br />Mr. Nylander presented plan for Mr. Baskin. No one present against and <br />the plans were approved subject to approval by Board of Health and Town <br />Engineer. <br />' Letter read from the Chamber of Commerce suggesting that the Board <br />inform all Town Meeting Members of any proposed changes in zoning laws at <br />least one month before those changes came before Town Meeting. Decided it <br />would be a good thing to have a special meeting for discussion for anything <br />important. Mr. Potter moved, Mr. Hathaway seconded, that on any import- <br />ant changes in zoning by-law the town meeting members be notified in ample <br />time for public discussion, whether or not the Board has a meeting.
