Charles Hudson and Wm Henry Smith 2d Se-
lectmen of Lexington and Washington Y. Lane and
S. Woodbridge Selectmen of West Cambridge
met at the House of Oliver Winship in Lexing-
ton for the purpose of perambulating the line
between the Two Towns. We proceeded to the cor-
ner of Winchester where we found a Monu-
ment marked L.W.C and W. This Monument
stands on the brow of a hill upon a ledge and
is braced by iron rods; thence we proceeded to a
Monument standing in an open pasture
[nearly?] east of Oliver Winship's House; thence
to a Monument standing by the side of the
old Turnpike now discontinued; thence to
a Monument standing by the side of the pre
sent travelled way southeasterly of the old Dix-
on House in Lexington; thence to a Monu-
ment standing beside the main travelled
road from Lexington to West Cambridge;
thence to a Monument standing in the
woods on the land of W.W. Chenery; thence
to a Monument standing in an open
open pasture on elevated land some 30
rods northerly of the House of Amos
Russell in West Cambridge. The whole line
between Lexington and West Cambridge
run N.E.&S.W. and the Monuments are all in
a good condition and are marked L.&W.C. from
the last named Monument, we procedded to a
Monument standing on the top of a hill in
an open field, some 80 rods S.W. of the old
Bowman place in Lexington, and some
20 rods N.E. of the road leading from
Lexington to Watertown. This Monument
marks the corner of West Cambridge and
Belmont on the Lexington line and is
marked L. W.C. B.
