joining into a Solid Waste Planning Board. Both are important
to us all
Secty Altshuler promised state aid for transportation
planning, but, so far, has not been able to provide it SILC
chose to comment on the Route 2 Environmental Impact Statement
as well as on the Third Harbor Crossing At Wayland 's request
we also monitored the Corps of Engineers planned reconstruction
of the Sudbury river in Saxonville. We have represented the
Towns unofficially to BTPR and the most recently organized N W.
corridor coalition of 14 cities and towns Similarly, we are
monitoring carefully the operations of the new Joint Regional
Transportation Committee of the MAPC and Secty Altshuler
SILC. is indebted to two very special people Secretary,
Mrs Peter Holland gave me exactly the help I needed and Bud
Koester of Weston, SILC Vice Chairman provided the support and
was my unfailing right arm. It is with deep regret I received
both their resignations They will be sorely missed
I look forward to a articled 1973 The Bicentennial must
come under control Route 2 must be resolved The B and M
rights of way must be purchased The Solid Waite Disposal sys-
tem must begin to take shape and our land use plans and pattern
must be refined on a regional basis. In this, our fourth
year, SILC looks forward to some of the first real steps towards
regionalization
