PLANNING BOARD famixa

lb A meeting of the Planning Board was held in the selectmen's
Room on September 21st at 7:45 ofclock, there being present
,, Messrs. Emery, Tilton, L.S. 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. Woburn Street from Mass . Ave". to the Woburn City Line.

10. The State Road from Vass . Ave. to the Lincoln Town.
111. Maple Street its entire length.
• Rather than indefinitely prolong the accomplishment of
40 this work by attempting without outside help to cover the ter-
ritory outlined above one street at a time, the Board were
agreed that by enlisting the aid and cooperation of citizens
living on these streets, the whole matter might be successfully
put through without undue delay and without an excessive amount
of work on the part of its members.
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.
