Petition WPB received from the Boston & Maine Transportation Company for permission to run their busses over the State Road from the Lincoln Line to Massachusetts Avenue, and over Maple Street and Summer Street to the Arlington Line . No action was taken on the petition. It was voted to grant a license to the Middlesex & Boston St. Ry. Co. to operate busses in Lexington for the year ending May 1, 1927 . The Middlesex & Boston St. Ry. Co. requested copies of their license previously granted to them so that they might present the same to the Public Utility Commission when they go before them on June 2nd to secure a permanent permit to operate busses. A letter was received from Mr. Ryder of the Boston & Maine R. R. Co. in which he requested the abatement of the taxes on the land assessed as 34, 438 eq. ft. on a valuation of $8, 610 ,00 in exchange for the use of the driveways into the depot, and that the town maintain the driveways et its own expense. After consideration of the matter the Board decided that this wee a proposition that should be presented to the town, but felt they would be within their province to patch the driveway at the town' s expense since it is now in a deplorable condition. The Boston & Maine R. R. Co. were therefor informed that the matter would be brought up at the town meeting, and in the meantime the town would repair the drivewsy at its own expense. The Chairman of the Board reported that the State Department of Public Works required the State highway now being conetructfd on Bedford Street, from the Boston & Maine R. R. tracks to Warren Davis' , be laid out 60 ft. wide. Mr. Custance reported that he endeavored to have a conference with the State Department but had been unable to arrange the same as yet. He stated that he would endeavor to present the proposition of establishing building lines on Bedford Street rather than making a taking by the County, and causing this additional expense to the town. The Board felt that if the State would accept this proposition, it would it be very feasible. Plans were presented by the Lexington Building Trust for the approval of Blake Road. The Town Engineer was present and informed the Board that the plans presented were not sufficiently accurate to file in their office. He also informed the Board that the Building Trust have not filed other plane which have been promised for at least two years. In view of this fact the Board requested the Town Engineer to write to the Building Trust giving them a detail of whet plans were necessary to be filed in the office and also requesting the proper information on the plan of Blake Road. The meeting adjourned at 11 P.M. A true record, Attest: ( :Clerk.
