Chairman Bryson explained the usual procedure in holding a hearing, stating that this is for the purpose of listening to proponents and oppo- nents after which the Board will discuss the pros and cons and from these formulate a recommendation for the town meeting. It is not the purpose of the hearing to have discussion with members of the Planning Board, who have not as yet made up their minds as to what will be recommended. It is hoped the reports will be available before the informational meeting, or at least that they may be published in the Minute -man, but in any event they will be available at the town meeting. He pointed out on a map the five other A 1 areas in town, stating that Maple St. -Emerson Rd. has 60 units built with an expected total of 136 units; Worthen Rd -Waltham St. now under construction will have 98 apartment units if plans are carried through; there are 48 units on Worthen Rd. near
