There was a discussion of the status of the Lexington Park development resulting from an inquiry from the engineer respecting the present owners and that property as to the status of the lay -out of streets. It was found that the action taken by Griswold on the adjoining development had prejudiced the street location plan for the Lexington Park area, and it would be necessary to work out some scheme to harmonize these two developments. Mr. Griswold was asked to bring Mr. Bellamy, the engineer for Griswold,together with Mr. Branch, the engineer for the Lexington Park development and to scheme out a reasonable arrangement. ' Mr. Cosgrove exhibited sketch plan for a possible service street paralleling the railroad in the rear of the present town hall lot. He stated that these plans were prepared at the suggestion of the present owners of the town hall and adjacent properties and had not been reviewed by them. It is said that no information has been given by these parties as to their proposed development in this area. He was advised to get in touch with these parties and to secure from them a definite statement as to what they propose before spending his time in laying out possible schemes. The matter of a possible candidate for the vacancy on the Board left by Mr. Freeman was discussed, but no action was taken other than to suggest that Mr. Worthen be urged to resume his service with the Board. W. D. Milne, Clerk. 1
