Town Hall, 8 P.M.
Present: Chairman Emery, Messrs. J. 0. Tilton, C. E.
Glynn, J. H. Duffy, W. D. Milne.
Lexington Building Trust.
In response to the Board's invitation George A.
Warner and his wife Ellie Warner were present and were heard
relative to their attitude on proposed extension of Hancock
Street ovef land of Lexington Building Trust and abutting
theirs, and the offer to buy or trade for certain of their
land at the rear of their lot to accomodate grades and curves
of the proposed street. Chairman Emery endeavored to induce
them to yield sufficiently to assure a suitable layout for
the road but they showed disinclination to treat with the
Lexington Building Trust. It was finally left that the
proposed taking would be staked out so that they could see
what it amounted to, also that there should be staked out a
strip on the north of their lot to show what the Lexington
Building Trust was willing to trade for the taking. The
Warners were asked to consider the matter in the light of
these representations and meet again with the Board at some
time to be arranged later.
Mr. J. 0. Richards was again heard as to the willing-
ness of the Lexington Building Trust to do anything reasonable
to satisy the Warners to such an extent that they would trade.
He was asked to supply the town engineer with data to enable
the latter to stake out the lines of the proposed street as
affecting Warner property, and he promised this. Also he was
urged to reconsider proposed street lines in the Lexington
Building Trust property with a view to providing suitable
through lines to the north, and to arrive as soon as possible
at some final scheme of street layout for the property.
The meeting adjourned with the understanding that the
Board would later view the sites of the proposed streets above
mentioned.
Wm. D. Milne,
Clerk.
