Brown and W.D.Brown. The Secretary's report of the previous meeting was approved and accepted. MASS. AVENUE SET-BACKS As to the remaining signatures to be obtained in connection with the set-backs on Mass. Avenue it appeared that with the ex- ception of those of the new owner of the MacDonald property and the Catholic Church authorities, on which a report from Mr. Ballard was awaited, and of Mrs. Litchfield who had declined to sign, all had been obtained. Mr. Leroy Brown volunteered to make a further endeavor to secure the latter signature and it is hoped that all may be obtained before the next meeting. BUILDING LINES ELSEWHERE It appeared to the Board that no more valuable line of endeavor in the safeguarding of the proper development of the town could be undertaken than the securing of similar volun- tary agreements to that now almost effected along Mass. Avenue from the Common to Cedar Street. In conformity to the views of the Planning Board of 1921 in a letter to the Selectmen dated June 15th, it was agreed to make a beginning of this undertaking along the following streets: 1. Bedford Street from Mass. Ave. to the Bedford Town Line. 2. Hancock Street, from the Common to its junction with Bed- ford Street in North Lexington. 3. Meriam Street its entire length. 4. Clarke Street its entire length. 5. Muzzey Street its entire length. 6. Waltham Street from Mass . Ave. to the Waltham City Line, 7. Lincoln Street from Mass . Ave. to the Lincoln Town Line. 8.

It was agreed, therefore, to invite to the next meeting the following gentlemen to whom the above plan should be ex- plained, the great and immediate necessity of its being under- taken explained, and the enlistment of their services secured.
