Garden apai Lment land's being sold to a c.:aritaole or, nization, Mr Abbott

Plans are in the final stages gorthen Road is valuable even if taken in
sections; Park Drive is narrow This section should be built under any circum–
stances. The ga,aon apartment lana is Al land; schools, churches and hospitals
can build only on RI land Therefore this land is not available to thea.
The planning board thought that c antes of hooking the road up to Route 2 were
goo No one know anything a.out tae widening of 2. The state will not

Hayden land, neces:,ar;y for schools and for traffic pattern. If the matter
is not settled now the ilaydeu center will pence its laud and etmp cancel its
agreement to exc..an e land with the town in order to put the road in as
planed. The planning board urou3at out its detailed map of the area. Park
Drive would ae eliminated as a public way (and possibly physically eliminated)

no good for damp beta,se it is too level ; therefore there sho-J d as no

Telephone Conversation, R. Souza to M:. Snow
Justin Street Sewer — It is not yet known whether the land pith White and
Greene want to develo:l would have to have sewers. Sone pieces could probably
be built upon; others would probaaly require a septic tank and disposal
field in oraer to build on them it sewer trunk le not available. This could
coat as much as 63000 pe# lot. The plan has not been submit:Jed yet to the
Board of Hec,lth. Then this is clone the developer pays expenses for a sanitary
survey of the property Until that is done no one knows what land could be
built upon and shat could not. kr Burns, former Torn Engineer, had a
sleeve put under 128. This would cvoiu any const.uction costs untie; 128.
The state, i. wiaeain 128, wool have to adc. to this at the s me grade.
Present need. for sewer in that area is great. In Hawthorne and Longfellow
'toads the Health Inspector found that people are living in their own sewage.
A drain tile ha been laid along Burlington St. but situation is still bad.
Snow suggests that the pest infcr_ ..tion could be ootdined from 'lar.
Lurvy who is most familiar with this aeeaa and knows the extent of the sewer
needs there
