1 Mr. Paxton said the Whitney lot across the street
had never been assessed. The reason was that if it was
assessed when the last extension was made, only a small
portion of the lot could be assessed so it was decided
to wait until the sewer *ain was extended in Abbott Road.
The Whitney assessment would be $334.00 and no one has
spoken to Mr. Whitney about it.
The Board instructed Mr. Paxton to contact Mr.
Whitney and tell him about the extension and report on
the matter next week. Mr. Potter moved that the order be
signed as follows. Mr. Locke seconded the motion, and it
was so voted.

' Mr. Paxton said that this department had talked with
all persons who signed the petition requesting that snow be
lifted in front of filling stations and garages and also
checled with any others they thought they would have to take
care of if they started this practice. Each one has differ-
ent problems and each one has a different request. He
thought however, that the people were fairly reasonable in
their requests. Mr. Paxton still thought that this would
increase the snow lifting cost about 25% or 30%. Mr. Rowse
said that it was necessary to lift snow in the. center of
the Town because public - safety required it, but he felt
that public safety would not require the lifting of snow
from in front of garages.
The Chairman requested.Mr. Paxton to make a list of
the garages and filling stations in front of which snow is
to be lifted and submit it to the Board. Mr. Paxton agreed
to do this.
At 8:00 P.M. a joint hearing with the Board of Appeals
was held upon the application of George W. Bean for per-
mission to erect and maintain a gasoline filling station on
his property at 365 Bedford Street. Messrs. Glynn, Maddison,
Kimball and Bowker of the Board of Appeals were present.
Mr. Bean and his attorney, Mr. George S. Ryan of 485
' Mass. Avenue, Arlington, and Mr. Niel McIntosh were also
present.
Mr. Bowker read the notice of the hearing before the
Board of Appeals and Mr. Giroux read the notice of the hear-
ing before the Board of Selectmen. Mr. Ryan said the plot
of land gontained about 54,000 square feet and it was
zoned for business. Both sides of the street are owned by
Mr. and Mrs. Bean. They have 37 acres on one side and 20
acres on the other side. They are land poor now and have
no income other than from the driving range which is operated
in the summer only.
Mr. Ryan said that if Mr. Bean could get permission for
a gasoline station, he would have sufficient year round in-
come to enable him to keep the property and make a living
from it. Mrs. Bean inherited the property from her grand-
mother and the land has been in the family for four or five
generations.
Mr. Ryan presented a blue print of the property. Mr.
Glvnn asked if he had any plan for the station and he re-
plied in the negative. He said however, that it would be a
standard tyape station and that there was a Gulf station in
Watertown very similar to what this one would be. The build-
ing would have a two ear lubritorium with a waiting room and
there will be three pumps outside. Mr. Glynn asked how far
' back the building would be and Mr. Ryun said that Mr. Bean
would put the station wherever the Board wanted it to go.
Any part of the lot would be agreeable to him.

It has a frontage of 242 feet and a standard station has
'
about 100 foot frontage. Mr. Glynn asked what hours the
station would be open and Mr. Bean said that he planned
to open at 7:00 A.M. and close at 11:00 P.M. Mr. Glynn
asked how near the nearest station was and Mr. Bean said
that there was one at the corner of North Hancock and Bedford
Streets about 1/4 of a mile away. Mr. Glynn asked where it
was proposed to put the new route 128 through in relation
to, his property. Mr. Bean said it was planned to go through
the center of his parking space which would leave about 100
feet between his house and the outer edge of the roadway.
Mr. Kimball said if the proposed road went through the center
of the parking lot it would leave only 50 feet on either side.
Mr. Bean said the road went nearer one side of the parking
space than the center.
Mr. Neil McIntosh said he was opposed for the time being
and that this property was only 130 feet from his property.
He said that the location of route 128 was not decided yet
and for that reason he thought all plans should be dropped;
also for the reason that Mr. Bean has no definite plans for
the proposed building. Mr. McIntosh said that Mr. Bean was
granted a change in the zoning law some years ago in order to
enable him to maintain the golf driving range and at that
time he promised that he would not want anything more than
the driving range but he is now going beyond that. Mr. Rowse
'
asked Mr. Bean if he was going to give up the driving range
and he said that he was not.
Mr. Kimball said he talked with someone at the State
House who said that this road was in the six year program
and that the road would go through the business zone. He
felt that the road would go directly through the Bean property
and that most of the business area would be taken up by ramps.
He also talked with an ex -member of the Metropolitan District
Commission who said the Commission was not sure of an overpass
at this point.
Mr. Glynn asked Mr. Reran if he could get a plan of the
station and he said he could get a plan of a similar station
to what was planned. Mr. Kimball asked if they had made any
definite arrangements with any company and Mr. Ryan said that
the Standard Oil Company had approached Mr. Bean but no
definite arrangements had been made. It would depend upon
who would pay the better rent.
No other persons wishing to be heard, the hearing was
declared closed at 8:25 P.M. The group retired.
The Chairman said that according to the Governorts
figures, it is planned to spend about three and one quarter
million dollars for Chapter,90 roads, and probably something
over one million will go for maintenance. At the same time '
the Governor will recommend that the distribution of gasoline
tax be cut by five million dollars.`

We received some $31,000.00 from this fund lastyear and
if it is out in half this year, it will mean 75¢ on our
tax rate. The Chairman thought it might be wise to sub-
mit a heavy Chapter 90 program.
Mr. Paxton said that we submitted Spring Street with
a Town Contribution of $7,000.00 and Grove Street with a
Town contribution of $1,500.00. No further action was taken
on the matter.
Mr. Rowse asked Mr. Paxton to make up some schedule of
the sidewalks to be plowed and submit it to the Board for
approval. Mr. Paxton agreed to do this.
The Chairman said that Frank J. Thompson of Smyth
Street had telephoned and was very much upset because he
heard that the develdper was not going to continue Smyth
Street. Mr. Paxton said that he understood the developer
was not going to out through Smyth Street, the reason
being that he would have to go through a 14,000 square
foot lot. The Chairman asked Mr. Paxton to see Mr.
Thompson and explain the matter to him.
Mr. Rowse moved that the following licenses be granted.
Mr. Sarano seconded the motion, and it was so voted.

that the Supreme Court had ruled that towns had no right to
go into a Town Meeting and ask for money to pay bills in-
curred in a previous year.

Mr. Rowse thought that the department heads should be written ,
a letter telling them that they should check their accounts
so that they would not overdraw; that they must keep within
their appropriation and if they did not, they would be held
personally for it. The Board agreed that such a letter should
be sent out.
At 9;75 Mr. Morse appeared before the Board to discuss

'Rix offer
the sum of $150.00 for Lot 10-B on Marrett Road now owned

lot
week.
Letter was received from Clarence S. Walker, Treas.
of the Lexington Trust Company, advising that they would
have to petition the Board of Survey for the privilege
of relocating Boulder Road. The petition if filed, would
Lex. Trust
be occasioned by reason of a house at the corner of Blake
Co. re Sub-
and Boulder Roads having been improperly located with no
division
allowance for the required twenty foot setback from Boulder
Road. Mr. Walker said that the granting of this petition
would subject the bank to a provision of the by-laws.which
would require the building of the street within a definite
time limit and in accordance with the road construction
specifications of the Town of Lexington. He said that
such requirements would be burdensome and unjustified.
'
Mr. Walker requested the privilege of a hearing before the
Board to discuss the matter.
A letter was received from the Lexington Homes, Inc.
requesting the privilege of a hearing to discuss the de-
tails of the Board of Survey regulations with particular

it was so voted.

sirable. They said that the provisions governing the es-
tablishment of the Planning Board prohibited maklAg the

Superintendent of Public Works were welcome to attend any
and all meetings. They said they would send copies of the
