There were present: Chairman Emery, Messrs. Driscoll and Nickerson. The Clerk was also present. At 7:30 P. M. Mr. James J. Carroll, Town Clerk, met with the Board for the drawing of one juror. Mr. George M. Cooper, Executive, 21 Buckman Drive, was frawn to serve on criminal business, first session, at Cambridge. Mr. Carroll retired at 7:32 P. M. The Chairman read a letter from the State Depart- ment of Public Works with reference to a list of bids received for work to be done on Waltham Street under Chapter 90. The Commissioners recommend that -the Board award the contract to the lowest bidder, - George Brox, Inc. - $14,E59.65. Mr. Driscoll moved that the Board accept the Com- missioner's recommendations and award the contract to the lowest bidder. Mr. Nickerson seconded the motion and it was so voted. 293 Juror Chapter 90 Waltham St. bid accepted Upon motion of Mr. Driscoll, seconded by Mr. Nicker- son, it was further voted to ratify the Town Engineer's action in his letter to Mr. Sabin relative to Chapter 90 work on Waltham Street. At 7:40 P. M. Messrs. Bateman, Michelson and Allen of the Chamber of Commerce met with the Board. Mr. Bate- man explained that the Chamber of Commerce had requested an opportunity to meet with the Board for the purpose of discussing the location of an information booth, and he presented the Board with four sketches which were prepared by Harry Erickson. The Chamber would like the proposed booth erected. in the vicinity of the Buckman Tavern. He explained that t hey had received an estimate for the don- struction of the booth from Howard Custance in the amount of $885. This quotation does not include paint, electrical work, or any furnishings. Mr. Bateman explained t hat the Chamber does not have sufficient funds to pay for the booth but felt that by volunteer work and contributions it can be secured at a relatively small cost. The merchants have checked with the Historical Society in an effort to determine whether or not it could be placed on Buckman Tavern property. The merchants have agreed to man it during the summer months at no cost to any one. Informat- ion Booth 294 0,1 He said it has been estimated that there are over 1,000 people a day coming into Lexington from all parts of the United States and the Chamber of Commerce believes very strongly that there is need for such a booth. He said they would like it in operation before Lpr_il 19, 1950. Mr. Bateman said they also would like to have Welcome to "Welcome to Lexington" signs on the roads entering Lexington Lexington. He said he understands the signs were taken - Signs down to -be painted and have never been replaced. Mr. Michelson said he thought a r.epiica'of the Russell House Doorway would make a good sign. The Chairman asked where they would be placed and. Mr. Michelson said they would like one leading from Concord on the turnpike, one from Boston on the turn- pike, one leading from Woburn, Bedford and Arlington. The Chairman said that if the information booth is to be placed on Buckman Tavern property he could see where the Selectmen might be involved but he did not think the proposed signs would require much participation by the Board. He further stated that he thought the Lex- ington Historical Society should be included in both of these projects. Mr. Michelson said that the Society does not care particularly about having an information booth. Mr. Michelson said he thought the area between Buckman Tavern and Meriam Street would be a good location for a booth and if placed there it would be on Town property. The Chairman said he felt sure the Board of Selectmen would want to discussthis subject with the Historical Society and possbily with other Boards of the Town in an endeavor to secure their ideas. Mr. Bateman stated that it will take the Chamber of Commerce some time to have their plans completed but they would like to be able to start knowing that they could locate an information booth somewhere in the vicinity of the Buckman Tavern. Mr. Bateman asked if the Board of Selectmen would confer with the Historical Society and the Charman replied that inasmuch as the proposed location is on town property he thought it should be discussed with the Society. Mr. Michelson asked if there would be any taxes levied on a building of this type. (The Chairman asked who would be the property of the Chamber of Commercel Mr. Nickerson said he thought the Chamber should discuss this with the Board of Assessors. Mr. Nickerson asked if the proposed bo6th was purely altruistic. Mr. Bateman replied that he did not believe he would realise $100 worth of lZ,usiness from tourists for an entire year, and in so far as he is concerned this has nothing to do with his business.. The Chairman asked if it would be agreeable to those present to leave it to the Board of Selectmen to obtain reactions and keep the Chamber informed. The group agreed and retired at 7:59 P. M. 295 Further consideration was given to Mr. Manuel A. Cunha's offer of $100 for lots 28 and 29, Block Tax Title 95, Center Street. Mr. Driscoll moved that a pro- Property posal to sell the lots be advertised in the Lex ington Minute -Man and further consideration be given the offer at the next meeting of the Board. Mr: Nickerson seconded the motion and it was so voted. The Chairman read a letter from Officer Edmund J. Morelli stating that he would like to purchase Veterans' Lot #6 Hill Street. Mr. Morelli stated in his letter that he was a resident of Lexington when he enlisted in the U. S. Army in October, 19)40. Mr. Nickerson moved that Lot #6 Hill Street be sold and conveyed to Mr. Morelli provided he meets the necessary requirements. Mr. Driscoll seconded the motion and it was so voted. Vet's. Lot. At 8:00 P. M. Mr. and Mrs. Morris Martin of 5 Fuller Road met with the Board and Mr. William Burns, Asst. Supt. of Public Works was also present. -.Mr. Martin had requested an appointment with. the Board with reference to the sewer betterment assessment levied against his property on Fuller Road in the amount of $400. Mr. Burns presented a sketch showing the pro- perty involved and explained to the Board and to the Martins just how; the cost was figured. Mr. Martin admitted that when he applied for the sewer he signed and agreed to pay $400 but at that time he assumed everyone also in the area had paid Reduce a similar amount. However, people with whom he assessment has talked have only paid $120. He questioned the.fact that his next door neighbor did not have to pay for the sewer on Fuller Road. Mr. Burns explained that his next door neighbor, a Mr. O'Brien, was assessed from Harding Road before the sewer as built in Fuller Road. The Chairman asked Mr. Martin if he would be willing to give the Board an opportunity to discuss this and contact him later on. He agreed and retired at 8:15 P. M. - The Chairman stated that if the Board assumes that the prop: r assessment on this lot should be based on frontage, then the $100 assessment should be charged. Mr. Burns explained that it is actually 7/10 of $200. The Chairman asked *hat the Board wished to do about it. Mr. Nickerson said it seemed to him that the Board has the question of a ctual betterment to decide upon. 296 Rupert Stevens re building of streets J The Chairman stated that the. base rate is decided by law and cannot be changed. The only question is the amount of area and frontage involved. Mr. Burns informed the Board that other Iotas in the Manor section of comparable size were assessed for $120. He said that actually Mr. Martin should be assessed at only two cents per square foot, which was the price in the Manor. The Board considered the matter in detail and upon motion of Mr. Nickerson, seconded by Mr. Driscoll, it was voted that the sewer betterment assessment levied against Mr. Martin's property on Fuller Road be reduced to $140. At 8:25 P. M. Mr, Rupert Stevens met with the Board at the Board's invitation to discuss Grade A and Grade B streets, in Lexington. The Chairman stated that the Board has no first hand knowledge of roads and that this Board of Select- men has. inherited the policy of Grade A roads. He said that Mere has been some agitation as to whether a Grade A is necessary in some locations in Lexington or whether a Grade B street would be adequate. In view of the increased cost of both the Board felt that it should try and find out something about roads and determine whether or not this policy should be retained or a new one adopted. He told Mr. Stevens that Mr. Paxton and Mr. Potter discussed this sub- ject with the Board last week and the Board now would like any help that Mr. Stevens might be able to give on the subject. Mr. Stevens stated tthat he had alwyys been opposed to Grade A streets for residential areas because of the fact that they are too expensive. He said he believed the Grade B streets are better \ streets for residential territory. He said he does not know the percentage but a great majority of the roads in Lexington are not even up to Oracle B standard by Any means. He mentioned "Dude Hill", Bloomfield Hill, Adams Street, East Street and, Lowell Street. He explained that these streets came up through scraping and a little gravel over a period of years. He stated that Massachusetts Avenue, from Marrett Road to the Russell House, (over the old car tracks in many cases) was filled with gravel and two coats of oil. The Chairman asked Why Mr. Stevens felt that a grade B street irk better for residential areas. Mr. Stevens Peplied that he thought it is a better surface for a residential street. He does, not like a penetrated surface because it is too rough and hard. He feels that a smoother type 6f surface is much better for residential streets. He ONEIS 1 L He said that Pine Knoll Road and Lockwood Road eould have been Grade B streets similar to the Board of Survey Grade B. He said that the town might add in the drainage, certainly not too much and certainly nothing bigger than 12". He explained by this he means in the betterment. He explained that the street is then excavated and dressed to shoulders and a certain amount of grading is done. When the town does this 12" of gravel is added and two coats of oil. Under this 3.e believes the people have a road and w ould be paying all they whould be required to pay. -The Chairman asked if this was a Board of Sur- vey street and Mr. Stevens replied in the affirms- tine. .He said in his opiniom this is a far better street than 60% of the press.e$ accepted streets. He asked Mr. Burns if this statement were correct and Mr. Burns replied in the affirmative. He said he felt on betterment streets, after they are in there for_two, three or four years, depending upon the construction, the town could then hone and seal them. He believes it would be an adequate street and a better street than the 4" of stone. He stated that it is definitely not as noisy a street. He explain- ed that a closer knit surface is much better in his opinion. The Chairman asked how the maintenance of A and B streets would compare over a period of twenty years. Mr. Stevens replied that there would be a little more maintenance on Type B and the t own would probably have to seal the average penetrated surface in about ten or twelve years. The Chairman asked if he meant a Grade A street and he replied in the affirmative. Mr. Stevens said -that on a two -cost oiled street the town would not have to seal it for ten years. He explained that the streets in the Folien Hill Development were constructed in 1941 and none of them have been sealed yet. He explained that the average asphalt street is bdtter with some traffic than it is without. Hes aid he questions if an asphalt street ever goes to pieces. The Chairman asked if any town comparable to Lexington has gone in for hot -top streets. Mr. Stevens aaid he did not believe so. He said he things they are still progressing with seal coating on mix -in place formerly called honing. He stated that mix - in -place is nothing more than the growing up of the honing treatment; Mr. Burns asked if Mr. Stevens thought a part Type B surface with a 3/4" mix -in-place on it would be sufficient to hold it. Mr. Stevens replied in the affirmative. He said, 297 298 L_ however, that he thought the town would have to seal it in the same amount of time. He said that none, of them would have to be sealed after the second seal coat. He said he, personally, likes peastone rather than sand between the primary and top coats. Mr. Burns staged that if the town makes a mix -in place job with 1/2' or 3/4" and only use 1/3 of a gallon, in two years it gets dry on top. However, if the town seals it_in two years it will have a good street. Mr. Stevens stated that he likes to see the street sealed with at least 1/4" immediately after the mix. He said that sealing it immediately maked a muchhbetter road. The Chairman asked if Mr. Stevens woUld vote to have some a the betterment streets go in as Grade B streets under the present specifications. Mr. Stevens replied that he definitely would but that he would add to the asphalt. He said they would be primed with one gallon, sealed with 1/2 and then have peastone between the twe courses. He said that on this type of surface more asphalt will have to be used. The Chairman asked if Mr. Stevens would stay away from hot -top for the time being. He replied that he thought he would stay away from it to start with. However-, he thought the town would came to hot -top but it will come after there is a fairly good surface established. Mr. Stevens said the thing that has bothered him on Grade B streets is the act that about 85% of the accepted streets in town were accepted in a similar condition as Grant Street was without any betterments. He said the town does not now permit individuals to bring their street along as the town has brought the streets along in the past. He explained that the town has dozens of streets that do not have a 24' width pavement and the town expects people to pay for the streets that the town itself cannot afford to build. Hestated that it will be only a few years before the town has the Board of Survey streets coming in and he does not feel that the Board should assess betterments because these people have paid their share when they purchaseddthe lot. The Chairman asked if any Board of Survey street has bver been accepted and Mr. Stevens replied in the negative. He said that very definitely he.thought the people should be given the benefit of the Type B street. He said he questioned, however, how much drainage should be absorbed but if it goes beyond a. 12" pipe he thought the town s hould stand the cost. The Chairman asked Mr. Stevens what he believed the difference to be between the cost of a Grade A and a Grade B street per linear foot. Mr. Stevens replied that he would have to figure it out but off hand he would think about $3.00. The Chairman asked if a Grade B street would be the best investment for the town and for the people who live on the street. Mr. Stevens replied in the affirmative. The Chairman said that if the Board adopted the policy of Grade B streets it would encourage many people to have the streets accepted. Mr. Stevens a- greed. The Chairman asked if hot -top could be put over a Grade B street. Mr. Stevens replied in the aff- irmative. Mr. Nickerson saidsupposing the Board adopted the policy of Grade B streets; they would have 13" and supposing ten years later people changed their mind and it was decided to revert back to Grade A streets, could 4" be put on top of that. Mr. Burns stated that in making up the profiles the engineers put in established center grade lines. When the town goes to build the street, if at that time it builds a Grade B street, it is built 4" below grade. If the town never puts anything on the 4" it will not interfere with the driveway. The Chairman said that Grade B streets are now set so that 4" can be added to them. Mr. Nickerson asked if the Board adopted the policy of Grade B streets, wouldn't they have to be built up. Mr. Stevens replied in the negative. He said it would be better to leave them down until such time as they need a change. He explained that he is running into that problem where he is now putting in Type I streets. The Chairman inquired as to the life of a hot - top job. Mr. Stevens replied that it is between ten to twelve years with some form of maintenance. Mr. Stevens retired at 9:05 and Mr. John J. Garrity met with the Board. The Chairman stated that the Board would like Mr. Garrity's recommendation with reference to the condition of the elm -trees in town and the spread of the Dutch Elm disease. Mr. Garrity stated that there is only one pr - gram and that is to eliminate the cause. One of the causes is dead wood in the elm trees. He said hb would like the Tree Department to have the authority to dispose of some of these trees that are diseased but still not on town property. The Chairman asked if the town would have the authority to remove trees 299 Dutch E1rt Disease 300 from private property. Mr. Garrity said that the town would, providing permission was obtained from the owner. He explained that out of sixteen diseased trees six of them are on town property and the rest on pri- vate property. The Chairman inquired as what other towns are doing. Mr. Garrity said in Brookline the Tree Department goes on private property with the owner's permission and with the approval of. the Town Counsel and removes the trees. Apparently most of the towns are just waiting. Mr. Garrity said there is no question but that he will need money. He said at the present time he has no Tree Department. Last Friday the one man in the Department left of his own accord. He said he would like permission to employ four men from a tree company on an hourly basis and have some of the elms cleaned up in an effort to combat the disease. The Chairman asked how much it would cost. Mr. Garrity stated that he hasn't sufficient funds and he would have to figure it up. He said that with the ex- ception of the trees on Ctncord Avenue he thought that $600 might take care of the entire project. The • Chairman asked if this included hiring the men and Mr. Garrity replied in the affirmative. He said that he has $2,200 left in the Shade Tree Account but he will need all of it and he has no money for this extra work. He stated that he would like to have the Board's consent to go ahead and do what he calls exper- imental work such as using domething new tos top the spread on the common. The Chairman asked how much money he would need for experimental purposes and Mr. Garrity replied that he has sufficient funds for the time being. The Chairman asked if $600 would be enough to remove all the trees and Mr. Garrity r eplied in the affirmative. The Chairman asked how thorough a job was done by the Agricultural College. Mr. Garritysaaid that it was not too thorough and there was no telling how many trees in Lexington are affected. The Chairman asked how soon he would like to start the work. .Mr. Garrity r eplied that he would like to remove the affected trees as soon as possible. The Chairman asked Mr. Garrity to submit a request in writing for a transfer of $600 and to outline what he intended to do with this money and how soon he would need it. Mr. Garrity agreed and retired at 9;25 P. M. Mr. Gustave Larsen met with the Board and said that he is anxious to have the water pipe installed in Oak Street. He said that last Tuesday hq applied for a building permit to construct a house on Oak Street but the Building Inspector refused to issue a permit until the water pupe in installed. He stated that there is a water pipe in Tarbell Street. 1 301 The Chairman stated that as he recalls this sit- uation Mr. Larsen was going to try to reach some sort of a new layout agreement with the Planning Board. Mr. Larsen said it would be too expensive for him. The Chairman replied that it would:be expensive for the town to put the water main up Oak Street. The Chairman said he thought Mr. Larsen sensed the feeling of the Board when he last met with them and that the Water and Selectmen were very reluctant, to say the least, to Bldg. per - have Hillside and Oak Street cut up until a street mit for was constructed. He said that the Board would like Larsen to see the land divided up and a street in there to Oak Street obtain better use for the land. He asked why Mr. Larsen was unable to reach an agreement with t he Planning Board. Mr. Larsen said that it would cost so much to build the street he could not afford it. He felt it would cost more than the land was worth. The Chairman asked himwhat he thought the land was worth and Mr. j,arsen replied that it is worth 41,000 a lot. The Chairman asked if he were interested in se- curing water for the lot at the corner of Oak and Ellis Street and Mr. Larsen replied in the affirmative. He said the house he proposes to build will front on Oak street and he sill set it back 30' in case the street is widened. Mr. Nickerson stated that as he recalls a pre- vious meeting Mr. Larsen was to meet with the Planning Board to see if he could make some over-all arrangement whereby the town would sell him tax title lots on Hillside Avenue. Mr. Larsen said he came to the conclusion that the cost would be too much. The Chairman said that the Selectmen would feel more enthusiastic about Oak Street water main if they thought the money was being well spent. He said he does not believe that it would be money well spent for the lots as they are now. He explained that Mr. West signed a petition for the water but stated that he would request an abatement. The Chairman reminded Mr. Larsen that the knew there was no water available when he purchased the land. Mr. Larsen said he would be glad to meet with the Planning Board again but in the mean time he has an application on file for a permit to build a house. He asked if the Board would be willing to tell Mr. Lindstrom to issue the permit. The Chairman said that the Board would discuss this with the Sup't. of Public Works and tho Town Engineer when all members of the Board of Selectmen are present. He asked when Mr. Larsen wanted to start construction. Mr. Larsen replied that he was ready to start in the morning. He explained that he has men loafing. The Chairman agreed to discuss the matter further this evening and to contact Mr. Larsen within the next day or two. Mr. Larsen retired at 9:50 P. M. 302 The Board discussed the matter at length and Mr. Burns was instructed to advise Mr. Lindstrom that Bldg. per- the Board suggests that he issue a building permit to mit Mr. Larsen for the construction of a house facing on Ellis Street. Mr, Burns reported that he has conferred with Mr. Ernest Cutter relative to the r equest for the Sewer installation of a sewer on Follen Road. Mr. Cutter will offer no objection to Mr. Schlicter's petition on the basis of charging for the frontage of the lots. He said that if it mosts with the Board's approval he will have the necessary data prepared. The Board had no objection. Mr. Burns informed the Board that had again dis- cussed the drainage on Castle Road with Mr. Baskin. He stated that Mr. Baskin is agreeable to putting in Drainage the drain. Mr. Burns stated that the main cost of the work will be the cost of the 'pipe. Mr. Bakkin appar- ently will go along on almost any basis for the pre- sent time realizing that the town has not the money to do a major drainage job. He is also willing to convey the easements to the town now. The Chairman asked what this temporary solution would cost and Mr. Burns replied that it would be about $800. The Chairman asked Mr. Burns if he thought the town should spend this money regardless of the fact that the catch basins still work. Mr. Burns re- lied in the affirmative. He'explained that if Mr. Baskin were to sell the corner lot the purchaser would undoubtedly build a house at which time it is very possible that he would strike the drain pipe and request the town to remove it. Mr. Nickerson asked if Mr. Baskin would pay any portion of the $800 and Mr. Burns replied in the negative. Further discussion of the matter was held over until the next meeting of the Board. Sick Leave P. W. Dept. Mr. Burns informed the Board that one of the men in the Public Works Department is out on sick leave due to an eppendettomy. He said the individual was entitled to 30 days sick leave. He received the first fifteen days pay but Mr. Carroll refused to give him the second check. Mr. Burns called the Board's at- tention to the fact that in 1946 the Board of Sel- ectmen agreed, in regard to sick leave, to omit, the first two days pay and to pay from the third day on, requiring a doctor's certificate as probf'of sick- ness, and to have the sick leave build up to .45 days for three years. Mr. Driscoll moved that the Board follow the policy outlined by the Board of Selectmen in 1946. Mr. Nickerson seconded the motion and it was so voted. 1 303 Mr. Burns requested authorization to construct a gravel and dust sidewalk on Colony Road. He explained that the bid submitted from Brox for Colony Road is low enough to take care of this item and inasmuch as the road is to be used for access to the school., he would recommend the construction of the sidewalk. He explained that it would be done on the basis of using the units in the contract, taking the gravel and also using the stone item for dust; making a 5' walk, wetting it and rolling it to get a hard surface. He stated that the cost for the whole project would be approximately 600. He explained that this is not in any way an extension of the contract but merely using the units in it. The Chairman asked if this type of sidewalk would be good enough and Mr. Burns replied in the affirmative. He said this is the quickest and least expensive method of building a sidewalk in an effort to keep the children out of the street. Mr. Nickerson inquired about the possibility of putting on hot -top. Mr. Burns said it would then be a betterment sidewalk and if the sidewalk in this area is constructed as a first class job it might establish a precedent. Mr. Nikcerson moved that Mr. Burns be authorized to proceed with the construction of a gravel and dust sidewalk as recommended by him. Mr. Driscoll seconded the motion and it was so voted. Mr. Burne informed the Board that additional re- quests have been received for the installation of street lights and he presented sketches showing the proposed locations which have been inspected by a representative of the Boston Edison Company. Upon Street motion of Mr. Driscoll, seconded by Mr. Nickerson, it Lights was voted to approve the followings treet light in- stallation: Carley Road Two Lights Eldred Street One Light Colony Road Three Lights (One additional light for the Fiske School to be cleared w ith the School Department) Mr. Burns brought up the subject of the possible construction of a portion of York Street. The Chairman explained that he had checked with Mr. Burns and asked if he could see any possible way of getting Brox• to do about 200' between the broad end of York Street, where it comes down to the apron on Grant Street. He said it seemed too bad not to have it connected. Mr. Burns stated that in so far as Mr. Brox is concerned he thought he could take care of it with the units. The only question he has is what authority the town would have to do this work. No action was taken on the matter. York Street 304 Mr. Max H. Straw's letter with reference to the drainage on Cedar Street was held over from last week. Mr. Burns reported that he has dis- Drainage on cussed this subject with Mr. Straw and he presented Cedar Stree a sketch showing the area in question. Hestated that Mr.. Straw wants to fill in the pond and also wants the town to remove the pipe. Mr. Burns stated that he had explained to Mr. Straw that the problem w ould be discussed but that there are no funds available to take care of the drainage situation at the present time. The Chairman asked how much it would cost and Mr. Burns said that it would be in the vicinity of $1,000. It was decided to hold any further discussion over until the next meeting of the Board. A copy of a letter was received from Daniel A. Lynch written to the bonding company for Daddierio Daddierio whereby the company was notified to proceed with the Contract completion of the Daddierio contract. Mr. Burns retired at 11:20 P. M. An application was received from Kieran J. Lowry for a common victuallerts license at 286 Lincoln Street. The Chairman read a letter from the Chief of License Police stating that Mr. Lowry has no police or court record and is an individual of good character and re- putation.. Mr. Nickerson moved that the application be approved and the license signed. Mr. Driscoll seconded the motion and it was so voted. The Chairman read a letter from he Woman's Asso- ciation of the Hancock Congregational Church request- ing permission to operate a food booth on April 19, 19th of 1950. The Association would like to locate one booth April on the church property and one at the corner of Slocum Road and Massachusetts Avenue. The Clerk was instructed to refer the request to the 19th of April Anniversary Committee. An application was received from the V. F. W. requesting permission for the use of a conference room for a meeting to be held by the Women's Auxiliary on Use of hall August 24th. Mr. Nickerson moved that the use of the room be granted free of charge. Mr. Driscoll seconded the motion and it was so voted. An application was received from the Lexington Choral Society to conduct a Popf Concert in Cary Hall Use of, hall on November 4th. Mr. Nickerson moved the use of the hall be granted suD ject to a charge of $35. Mr. Driscoll seconded the motion and it was so voted. Imium An application was received from the Choral Society for permission to conduct a concert in Cary Memorial Hall on December 11, 1949, and a rehearsal on December 10, 1949. Mr. Driscoll moved that the uses of the hall be granted free of charge. Mr. Nickerson seconded the motion and it was so voted. The Society also requested permission to use they hall in March and May of 1950. The Board pre- ferred not to make any commitments for 1950 at this time. Upon motion of Mr. Nickerson, seconded byMr. Driscoll, it was voted to grant the following licenses: Lexington Theatre, Inc. Sunday Movies Countryside Associates Sunday Golf The Chairman reminded the Board that no definite action had been taken on the Lovell Bus petition nor on the Middlesex and Boston petition. The Clerk was instructed to send a copy of the communication re- ceived from the Middlesex & Boston Street Railway to the Planning Board. Both petitions will be given fur ther consideration at the next meeting of the Board. The meeting adjourned at 11:35 P. M. lect en. 305 Use of hall Licenses Bus petitions
