Mr. Greeley said that the committee was interested in having the plans revised so that there might be a direct access to the proposed school site and asked if the Board would authorise Mr. Snow to make a study of the preliminary subdivision plan with this in mind. MR. ADAMS RESIGNATION AS CHAIRMAN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL SITE When asked if the committee had determined the area and the location of the land it wished to recommend for a site, Mr. Greeley replied that the committee had decided upon a location but not the boundaries. He said that it had been agreed that the committee would recommend acquiring all the land south of a revised road location, the site fronting for a considerable distance on said road for the reason that ' citizens desire to have a school front on a road and not located in back of lots. He stated further that the committee did not wish to make a final decision on the matter until it had talked with the owner of the land.
