He stated that one section of the road has been constructed in the Burnham Farms area . The Grove Sfreet subdivision, for which building permits Numbering have been issued, is another section and there is the Emerson Roac Maloney subdivision on Maple Street He said there should be a numbering system on Emerson Road from Route 2 to the Grove Street subdivision and he has started 1 at Route 2 going to 370 at Grove Street . He exrlained that this will necessitate changing some street numbers in the Burnham Farm section and will pose some problem as to whether or not letters should be used to designate the various sections . Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to use street block numbers, Mr. Carroll to notify those people whose present street numbers will be changed. Mr. Carroll mentioned a previous discussion rela- tive to lighting Worthen Road, and the annual charge was $3100 a year with underground connected concrete Lighting posts He felt that the cost to light just one street Worthen Roac was excessive and. contacted the Boston Edison relative to the possibility of butting the underground posts every three hundred feet instead of every 150 feet . This would reduce the cost to about $1500. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to authorize Mr. Carroll to make arrangements for the installation of 11,000 lumen lamps three hundred feet apart .
