Selectmen take such measures as may be necessary to
secure permanently as open plots the areas at Grape-
vine Corner, so-called, designated;"Grass plot" on

futhermore, that if the Selectmen see fit to grant per-
mit or permits for filling stations at this location,
they further secure the arrangement of drives and
sidewalks designated on the same plan, to be so main-
tained during such use of the area, securing however
a treatment of all the corners harmonious with that
specifically shown for the Capper corner."

development of the Capper back areas, but no decision
was reached.
