SELECTMEN'S MEETING
August 13, 1951 I
A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was
held in the Selectmen's Room on Monday evening, August
13, 1951 at 7 :30 P.M. Chairman Nickerson, Messrs.
Emery, Gay, Driscoll and Hoyt were present. Mr. Burns
Supt of Public Works, Mr. Stevens, Town Counsel, Mr.
Adams, Chairman of the Planning Board, and the Clerk
were also present.
Chairman: What brought this meeting to a head was a
letter from Bill Ballard, dated August 6th.
It recalled that no progress on the Edison
Way project and the Scott property matter
had been made. George and I were talking
about it and decided it would be wise to
get all interested parties together and
talk around the table and see if we could
Edison Way get the wheels of progress started again.
From his letter, he feels he has not rece-
ived the proper data on Edison Way. To the
best of Bill Burns' knowledge and to the
best of my knowledge, we had a meeting early
in May and he told Bill what he wanted, and
Bill got it to him on that day, had it sent
to him. It has not sufficed to give him
what he wants.
He said he wanted a layout of the road and
the grades of the new road so he could tie
in the back property.
Burns : Correct.
Mr. Balland arrived at the meeting and gave the
Chairman a letter with reference to the Woodland Bird
Sanctuary property, a copy of which was left for Mr.
Woodland Burns and also for Mr. Stevens. The subject was dis-
Bird cussed and Mr. Ballard declared himself agreeable to
Sanctuary accepting a definite construction plan to be prepared
by the Town Engineering Department. Mr. Ballard's
committee will study this plan, correct or approve
same and upon final correction, sign a release giving
the Town permission to perform the work on this private
property.
Chairman: I would like to go into the other items that
you have worked on for us because Alan has
come down tonight to meet with us as Chairman
of the Planning Board and he has a meeting at
Edison Way 8:15. I would like to start with the discus-
sion of the other two items that you have been
kind enough to work on.
523
You know the reason for meeting here is
to see if we can't get the wheel on the
track and get it moving because you have
inferred, correctly, that the Edison Way
owners ' agreement was signed Dec:ember 31,
1950 and here we have gone with no parti-
cular progress . Bill, we tried subsequent
to our talk in May, we thought we had
worked up what you wanted and given it to
you. It is apparent that we haven't. We
still are anxious to give you what you want
so you can use it in your negotiations. It
is the only way we can avail ourselves of
your professional capacity which you offered
to give to the Town. I want to read a
paragraph of your letter of June 6th. (The
Chairman read the last paragraph of the
letter) . That is quite more of a bill of
goods than we thought you wanted when we
talked that morning. If you wanted this,
I did not get it and Bill did not get it.
We want to give you what you want, but I
want to be sure that all this data is nece-
ssary because some of it will be expensive
and slow.
Chairman: We are talking about two different plans. Edison
One is a taking plan and the other, a Way
construction or finishing of the` whole
road.
Chairman: It would be a complete layout which we did
not think you wanted us to go to the expense
of furnishing. You now have the layout of
the road, but you say it has no sidewalks,
no fence location and no lighting, but it
does have the gradien running through it.
Burns: That line was put on as a suggestion when
we talked to the owners to see if they
wanted any change.
Chairman: We thought you wanted enough data to take to
your people, with whom you were conferring, and
if they still were in agreement with the layout,
we would consider it again and go on from there.
We don't want you to go in with a handful of
stuff you are ashamed to present.
Ballard: What you have is a taking plan and an elevation.
There has been added a tentative grade line of
where you would recommend that the street go.
524
I think your recommendation will receive
approval of the Selectmen and all the
owners. In that you mention one item,
that of adjusting the grade of the O' Connell
land. Bill was concerned about having a
bulkhead there. I told him we could put in
a temporary bulkhead instead of a permanent
one and O' Connell would be satisfied if he
had his fence moved back.
Then came the invitation from the Planning
Board at a time when there was not in exist-
ence any plan of the street as it would be
when completed. It seemed to me it would
be helpful to everyone concerned to take
the few steps necessary to decide what the
objective was. Following Mr. Howland's
visit to the Planning Board, there came a
direct request, and repeated requests for
the grade line that Bill later on gave us .
They were negotiating to improve the property
and were ready to consider, in connection with
the new Edison Way plan, the filling and grading
of their own rear property for parking for the
use of the tenants and tenants ' customers, but
not for any other purpose. That is one reason
why it seemed to me that where you might have
gone ahead with the taking plan and got
authorization from the Town, there was a dif-
ference of opinion between the Board of Selectmen
and the Planning Board. You should make your
own decision as to whether a completed street
Edison Way was what you wanted to approve.
The agreement with the Boston and Maine requires
you to do a part of the street, a two-way street,
also placing a fence on their land to prevent
trespass from the street over their banking. The
reason you need the surface drainage and lighting
poles on the other side of the street is informa-
tion to Minot, Williams and Bangs as to how they
might co-operate to have parking facilities there.
The question of the plan you may have as to
whether you are going to have meters on either
side or both sides is important to William &
Bangs. There may be some difficult engineering
problems, but I think we are both making a more
serious matter of this than it is. If the plans
were not an advanced plan, but merely a sketch
plan to see if Bill Burns' recommendations and
your ideas were in tune, you would then have
that information.
Chairman: That is what we have in mind. We had hoped to get
some common ground, if I use the right term, on
which we, you and the Planning Board, with the
Planning Board' s approval, could get this thing done
and proceed with the next step which would 'be preparing
the data for a Town Meeting vote.
525
That is why we are anxious to have Alan sit in
with us tonight. I think we should ask him now
to have the floor and ask any questions he may
have in his mind, or to give us any ideas he might
have.
Adams : As you know, at the time of the Town Meeting, we
went along only with the short piece of Edison Way
to the track. When it was postponed, we decided
to study that plan again together with a general
overall parking plan for the entire Town. At the
present moment there are about as many ideas on Edison
Way on the planning Board as there are Members. I
realize that a decision should be made one way or
another. There is one factor that I think is bother-
ing us. We are looking at it as an overall entire
parking area. It is a thing we must get on with
right away. In fact, it is on the agenda tonight.
Chairman: To be frank about it, have you any idea as to
whether your Board is going to feel so strongly
about the possibilities of any buildings being
built along Edison Way that they will be not in
favor of this proposed street, or do you think that
the feeling is changing a little.
Adams : No. I think the feeling is very strong. The last
idea was to go through with the street and have the
Town take some of the back land for municipal parking
and not just parking for stores.
Chairman: Were you aware of that?
Ballard: I heard some mention of it. The present owners have
no thought or intention, and they think it would be
bad policy for them, to put up any buildings facing
on Edison Way except it were a part of the buildings
facing on Massachusetts Avenue. As far as a taking,
they are owners of property, and subject to the wishes
of the Town of Lexington. If the Town takes it, process
of law will determine what the costs are.
Stevens: The cost would be very high.
Ballard: There is no desire on the part of the Municipal Real
Estate Trust to participate in a taking of that kind
or join in planning for that. They would say that it
is our land if you want it take it and pay us for it.
We would rather continue as we are. Alan, you mentioned
two parts of Edison Way. You can't according to the
present plan, take any part of it. They are not willing
to present it to the Town except as a part of this whole
project. Co-operation will come as a whole plan.
526
Adams : They decided that before the last meeting
and I don't know if they knew it. Mr.
Howland said they had no intention to build
on the back street. He made it very clear
and everyone heard it.
Chairman: It is true that if the Planning Board does
not look with favor on this overall scheme
and they decide to put in a report against
it, that it will hamstring the whole prop-
osition with the Town Meeting vote.
Ballard: It would be a bad Situation and I think we
should at least have a plan for a completed
street so that everyone would be talking to
that point. When that plan is completed if
the Planning Board would like me to have a
session, I would be glad to. If I have no
plan of a completed street with every utility
and everything in it, I have nothing. I hope
the Planning Board will also consider the
second gain and that is the gain that will
Edison Way furnish the O'Connell and Hunt properties
with the rear access which they do not now
have and they will be co-operative in working
out a plan to widen Massachusetts Avenue,
The minute the back street is built, O' Connell,
except for the Atlantic & Pacific lease, will
find it profitable to use if for another store.
He can't use if for a store unless he puts a
building on at his own risk because the Town
has put a setback there.
Adams: I think the facts have been presented to the
Planning Board.
Ballard: I would like a plan incorporating Bill's ideas
and the Board's ideas and then let the Planning
Board have it.
Chairman: If progress is being held up because of a lack of
a drawing I want us all to understand it, but I
can't see why, with the different Boards and the
people you are negotiating with, if we have the
layout of the street and the grade drawing which
is on there, it should be, I would think, easy
to put in where the street poles will go or the
lighting poles and easy to put on where the fence
is to go and easy to put on where the sidewalks
are going to be and how wide they will be. What I
am leading up to is this. That could be done
informally without all this squad of engineering
work on it and get the data to go with it, with
the understanding that it is not the finished plan
but the diagrammatic layout with correct grades
and correct location of the street.
527
Burns: You want "a preliminary play?
Ballard: Just like my letter to you of March 21st.
Burns: I have no point in holding the work up. If
the preliminary plan is what you want you can
have it within a week.
Chairman: We must understand that it is e good diagram.
We are not opening any damage suits are we?
Stevens: No.
Hoyt: Minot, Williams & Bangs want to know where the
parking meters will be, but we can't put that
in at the moment.
Ballard: I would like your suggestion. If there are
parking meters they are going to b® on the
railroad side.
Burns: I can show you that now if you want to see it.
Adams: I think whatever is recommended should go in
unanimously for both the Planning Board and
Selectmen. Edison
111 Chairman: if any of your Board want to hamstring this and Way
we want to go ahead, how are we going to do it?
Adams: Let us, at our next meeting, reach a decision so
you will know where we stand. We should come to
some point. I don't know when our next meeting
will be but we will put it number one on our
agenda and we will let you know where we stand.
Emery: I suggest if we don't agree, that we have a
joint meeting and try to agtee.
Hoyt: Has the new Board of yours talked with Mr. Ballard?
Adams: I don't thihk he has been in since March.
Ballard: I don't want to talk to the Planning Board without
the Selectmen's plan.
Adams: There would be no point in your talking with us until
we agree to some specific plan. It might be that,
guessing a little bit, we would say we are not interested
in municipal parking aid at all. If we decide that, there
is no point in our seeing the plan at all.
111 Chairman: If you have the plan to look at, you might not be so
definite in your stand.
528
Ballard: I am merely working for the Selectmen and since
we have started this thing let us carry it
through. '
Mr. Adams retired at 8:15 P.M.
Ballard: How can we express this thing to anyone unless
they have a complete packaged article all put
together?
Chairman: We have heard Mr. Burns' statement that he
would have a preliminary plan in a week.
Ballard: Let ' s make the delivery over the table next week.
chairman: We would be glad to have you meet with us next
Monday night.
Emery: Wouldn' t it be easier from the point of view of
the Planning Board if we left off the question
of parking meters entirely?
Ballard: Sure. Leave it off . That will be fine.
Emery: The question of settling the parking meters will
be settled by the Selectmen either with or with-
out the Planning Board when it comes up.
Hoyt: If you leave out the parking meter argi�.ment you '
will have accomplished a lot. Their agrument is
for additional parking facilities while ours is
for continual flow of traffic.
Emery: If it is a question of giving into the Planning
Board, I would rather sell out on a few small
things and get the big things through.
Mr. Burns presented a parking plan indicating the number of
cars that may be parked with the street and also the number with-
out the street.
Ballard: You have meters up on the Boston & Maine land where
they will still continue to have a parking area
themselves.
Burns: Nevertheless that will still add to the parking area
in the Town.
Emery: Do you contemplate a complete aide for driving in?
Burns: Yes.
Chairman: If you cork the alley will you have anymore room for
parking?
529
Burns: No.
Hoyt: What is the street width?
Burns : I think it is a 501 street. The original taking
was a 401 strip, and a 401 roadway was discussed.
The entire width is 401 with a 5' sidewalk with
about 71 for the cars, leaving 281 for the
traveled way.
Chairman: Do you think it is wide enough
Burns: With the space as it is there, it would be.
Chairman; That would seem to bring us up to a reasonable point
on the Edison Way.
Ballard; Yes. The Municipal Real Estate Trust is ready to
have this laid out for parking. I think it would
be helpful if you would tell me what the points
of level are. I don't mean this minute, but I
would like to have it in black and white.
Burns: I will put the grades on the plan and send it to
you. Then you want a preliminary plan on a 201
scale showing proposed pavement, proposed parking,
proposed lighting, if any, and drainage.
Chairman: Is a week time enough?
Burns: A preliminary plan on tracing paper showing general
features and approximately what is involved, one week.
It will not be a finished plan or one to build from.
Chairman; We have made a date for Mr. Ballard for next Monday
night.
Burns: It will be ready next Monday night.
Mr. Ballard then discussed the Scott property and presented
a plan dated July, 1944, showing the Massachusetts Avenue widening.
He also had a blueprint what would be cut off and proposed
straightening of the present lines. (Scott property and Emery
Park Property) to a right angle.
Ballard: The original plan I tried to work out with Scott was
to sell him the fire house property for $3,000 and
pay him $20,000 in two bites for the front piece.
I did not succeed in that. A few months ago he had his
attorney redraft the statement I made and he turns up
with the sum of $28,000 and he pays $3,000 for this;
one half payment when the taking was made and the
other half at the end of five years. He would have use
of the property and it would not be assessed.
530
b
CD
There are other side agreements that his attorney
put in and that is where I needed help to put the
agreement in more practical form and also to have
the Town Counsel say we could or could not do that.
That was for the purpose of negotiating and nothing
more. I don't need more from you except to say you
are still of the same mind to acquire 25' in depth
of the Scott property.
Stevens: There has been talk of $3,000 on the fire house site.
Is that satisfactory?
Ballard: The important thing is the condition of the agreement
and the price follows after. I would not want to argue
price. If we can get something as to what can and
cannot be done, then discuss it with Scott as to whether
he was interested in the proposal on the new dollars
or if he thought he would not be content with the lesser
price.
Stevens : He asked for a $20,000 abatement when he conveyed
the 25' strip. I suppose he would want less
abatement when he was given more money. Was it
your thought to put in the draft that it will be
abated by $20,000?
Ballard: That is a question I ask you. I suppose the Selectmen
and the Town can only work, can't do anything in a
current year.
Stevens : Some agreement can be made as to how much or the
land value is to be abated. The title would go
to the Town. We can't tax our own property. If
you are going to abate the tax it would have to
be abated as soon as we get title.
Ballard: That is why I want your help.
Stevens : Is there going to be an abatement granted and
not tax the building?
Ballard : If the Town gets the property I don't see why there
should be any abatement made in lieu of taxes. Can
we trade on the price of the fire land? There are
six or eight elements of trade.
Stevens: Are they all in the form of blanks in the agreement?
Ballard: Suits me all right. I don't know what the Town
can or can't do and I would appreciate your help.
Stevens : I would not like to draw an agreement with a whole lot
of blank spaces to be filled in and come back, in
a way, not completed when it went out.
531
Chairman: We have asked Mr. Ballard to try and negotiate with Mr.
Scott and we have not told him anything as far as data
is concerned, and have asked him if he can come up
with some agreement to which Scott would agree. We
would then see if we could agree to it.
Ballard I have done everything you have asked me to do, but the
thing has been stalemated because Mr. Stevens '
predecessor has not given me the information asked for.
As a negotiator I can' t agree with my friend the
attorney. If friend attorney wants to look at it from
a negotiating point of view, he would put in the blanks.
I want the frame work. We want to work out an agreement
whereby this man can sell his property to the Town, but
leaving the matter of when the Town can take it over to
Scott, anytime within the next five years. He can then
tear down his building whenever he wants to and give you
one year's notice .
Chairman: If you get the frame work and show it to Mr. Scott and
look it over with him and fill it in, it is no
commitment on the Town's part.
Ballard: I have already done that. I had his attorney go over
• it and come back with his suggestions to me.
•
Stevens: Is the transfer of the small parcel in Depot Square
conditioned on whether or not this piece can be used
for Emery Park.
Ballard: No. If the Selectmen want it squared off they I
assume, ask if you can make the change. They will
also ask if the ownership of the Town is such that
you can again widen the street. It has nothing to
do with Scott except straightening the line. He
does not request that the street be widened. If
you don't want to square it out, that is one thing.
If you want to leave it where it is, we can go back
to that. We can determine the details when you have
an agreement on the part of Scott. All I want is
Scott's signature on an agreement so you gentlemen
can accept it or not as you please.
Stevens : Merely an offer by Scott rather than a two-party
agreement conditioned on vote of the Town Meeting?
Ballard: I would like a statement from Scott that he is ready
to go forward on an agreement of that kind.
Stevens: This will have to have the consent of the Boston &
Maine.
Ballard: First get Scott' s proposal and a form of agreement.
He has been the one to call me the last three times
at three-month intervals. Why don't you think it over
Harold and not ask the Selectmen to settle on the price
until we get it in shape. When it is in shape for their
approval and my asking Scott to determine if he is ready
to go ahead on it.
b
Stevens: I would rather have it drawn up as a proposal from
Scott.
Ballard: Whatever you want is agreeable to me. The first
thing is to get a commitment from Scott. Then when
we have that, let us sit down and check them off and
see what the net total is.
Emery; If you had a firm offer from Scott what consideration
would you give him to make it legal?
Stevens: If you accept it, then put it in a form of two-party
agreement binding upon Scott and binding by the Town,
only when approved by vote of the Town, it would ob-
tain the obligation by the Selectmen to present it to
Town Meeting.
Emery: Could we say that if the Town votes yes on this it is
something that can be enferced?
Stevens: Yes, I should think you would get an offer than have a
discussion and then put it in the form of an agreement.
Chairman: What would be the timing on this?
Stevens: I will have something to show you next Monday night. It
will be enough for you to look over.
Emery: If we draw this up as Scott suggests and he signs it,
then every change we want to make gives him an excuse
to back out of it.
Stevens: Yes.
Emery: Would it be a good idea to iron out these things and see
if they would be acceptable to us?
Chairman: In the first place Harold will not put anything in that
would be illegal.
Emery: I mean the seven or eight things Scott wants for the twenty
five feet.
Stevens : That will have to be in there if I am drawing it as he wants it.
Emery: When he signs, it will be on the basis of what he wants.
Chairman: Harold will lay out the frame work and bring it in next Monday
night. Isn' t that the time to decide.
Emery: I think we should decide how we are going along with some of
these points before we give the agreement to Scott.
Ballard: I would rather have the continuous okay from the Board
of Selectmen as I go along. First we want to agree in
principal before talking about signatures. The only
reason I am talking about signatures is because Mr.
Stevens talked about a proposal.
533
We will iron out the points before we go to Scott.
We are not anywhere near the point where you want
to invite Scott or his Counsel to sit down. There
will be no signature by Scott until you are ready
to have a signature. You must rely on your negotiator.
There is a period of negotiation between the time you
see the original draft. We are no where near the
point of agreement on this.
Stevens: Do you want a proposal or advice on points from one
through twenty as to whether the Town can or cannot
do this.
Ballard: I made an agreement and Scott made some additions
to it.
Stevens : I just have a feeling against drawing this with
everything he might want, to be presented to him
before it is discussed by the Board.
Ballard: You will confer with me. We can then decide what
is good for the Town to do from a legal point of
view and exclude the things that are not practical
to do.
Stevens: Let me draw something for next Monday night and
we will discuss it point by point.
Ballard: All right with me.
Mr. Ballard retired at 9:00 P.M.
The Chairman read a letter from Leonard Jellis, Sr.
requesting the Board to have the Public Works Department
dump some gravel on Reed Street in front of his house,
claiming it is very dusty when dry and holds water after
a rain storm.
Mr. Burns explained that Mr. Jellis had called him
and he told Jellis that he would assume no responsibility
in doing anything on Reed Street. Mr. Burns told the
Board abandoning proceedings could be started. Jellis
Mr. Stevens explained that if anyone should show req. for
up and claim title to the triangle, there could be a gravel on
claim against the Town. Reed St.
Mr. Burns suggested putting it through land court
and then abandoning it.
Mr. Stevens said that if the easement is abandoned
the fee will have to go where it was and he would have
to find out where the fee was.
The Chairman said that if gravel is put in, it would
be all right because it is an accepted street and if oil
is put on it, it would be all right because it is an accepted
street, and asked about the amount of money involved.
534
Mr. Burns said that he would have to do a good
job to satisfy Mr. Jellis.
Mr. Emery suggested that a load of gravel be
dumped on the street and oil spread on it in an
effort to avoid Mr. Jellis going to the County
Commissioners.
Mr. Stevens said that this is definitely a Town
way forced on the Town by the County Commissioners.
He agreed to check the records further relative to the
status of the street and report next Monday night.
The Chairman read a letter from Robert L. Innis
in which he referred to his letter of May 14th requesting
Innis req. an extension of the water main to service lots on Leroy
water on and Ellison Roads.
Leroy and It was decided to request the Health Sanitarian
Ellison to advise the Board relative to the status of the
Roads property insofar as cesspools or septic tanks are concerned.
If he approves the area, the Board can consider the
application.
Letter was received from Charles G. Esterberg, Jr.,
263 Lincoln Street, complaining about the Five Forks
Esterberg Service Station. According to Mr. Esterberg, second-
complaint hand cars, tractors and trucks are being sold without
a license.
It was decided to request the Police Department
to make an investigation and report.
Mr. Steve s said that some time ago the Board
discussed howItaul Revere Road should be handled in
regard to obtaining releases from the abutters. He
said that Mr. Burns has a plan and he has given a
form of release of any claim for damages. He stated
that he thought Mr. Burns feels he is going to have
to do something about letting the County Commissioners
know if the plan is acceptable.
Mr. Burns said that he had received a call from
the State wanting to know if the Town wants the street
built or not. They can let the contract in the Fall
and start construction in the Spring, but Mr. Burns does
not want to leave the street the way it is for the winter.
The Chairman said that 50% or more of the land is
Paul Revere owned by Powers and Sullivan and Mr. Stevens was going to
Road give Mr. Burns a form
Easements Mr. Burns stated that this has been done but if he
talks to either one or both of them and they are not in
agreement, it will take several weeks.
The Chairman said that nothing would be done until
the releases are obtained.
Mr. Burns said that the State must have an answer
one way or another and will have to be advised that the
Town will not move on it this year and will not write a
contract until releases are obtained.
535
The Chairman suggested giving the abutters an
opportunity to agree or refuse to sign a release.
Mr. Driscoll said that he would contact Mr.
Sullivan and then advise Mr. Burns.
The Chairman asked if Mr. Emery would be willing
to proceed providing Mr. Sullivans signature is obtained.
Mr. Emery said that he might but he has not seen the
plan and asked who else is affected.
Mr. Burns said that there is a Mr. Grassiano, someone
to whom he sold a house and the Ross development.
Mr. Emery said that by tomorrow night Mr. Burns Paul
would know Sullivan' s attitude, would also have looked at Revere Rd.
the dry brook and therefore know more than is known this easements
evening.
Mr. Hoyt said that he would be willing to pass a vote.
Mr. Emery suggested that the Chairman poll the Board
by telephone.
The Chairman asked if Mr. Emery would have studied
the situation so that he would have it in mind for
tomorrow and he replied that he will either say yes or
no.
It was agreed that either Mr. Burns or Mr. Driscoll
will advise the Chairman as to the result of a conference
with Mr. Sullivan.
Letter was received from Mrs . Rich, Temporary Town
Accountant, requesting a transfer of $38.99 from the
Leroy S. Brown Fund to pay some unpaid bills submitted
by the 19th of April Committee. Transfer
Upon motion of Mr. Hoyt, seconded by Mr. Driscoll,
it was voted to request the Trustees of Public Trusts to
transfer the sum of $38.99 from the Leroy S. Brown Fund
to defray expenses pertaining to the 19th of April
program.
Letter was received from the Board of Fire Commis-
sioners stating that said Board has voted to pay bills
in the amount of $376.25 incurred as a result of
injuries received by Chief Engineer Cook in an accident
at a fire on Cedar Street. However this sum is not Transfer
available in the Fire Department budget.
Upon motion of Mr. Hoyt seconded by Mr. Emery, it
was voted to request the Appropriation Committee to
transfer the sum of $376.25 from the Reserve Fund to
the Fire Department Ecpenses Account.
Upon motion of Mr. Driscoll, seconded by Mr. Hoyt
it was voted to sign a Sunday Golf License for Country- LicMse
side Associates, Inc.
Mr. Stevens said that the Board might like to know
about the removal of gravel from the Lexington Nurseries.
' He reported that the Chief of Police obtained a complaint
against the driver of the truck hauling the gravel and Gravel
the complaint is returnable one week from tomorrow. The Removal
Chief informed Mr. Stevens that the owner of the truck Case
will be brought in.
536 !c
Mr. Stevens also reported on the Monsignore case
Monsignore and said that he is starting a bill in equity to
Case prevent him from operation a store on Laconia Street.
The Judge granted an order that pleadings be completed
