Mr . Scheibe: - Stated that he didn't think, it would be
surrounded with hot dog stands like the
spot set aside for Paul Revere in Concord.

places that it could not afford to have them
all set aside as parks-.
It is impossible to do anything else with the
land because the rest is either too swampy or
or too tocky.
This is the only spot they have that can be
developed .
It is too noisy for a Residential district
anyway with the trucks and cars on the State
Road.
Mr . Bashian stated that it should not have a
filling station because it is historical but
he has a historical spot on his land and is
using it commercially selling corn and other
vegetables .

to be built and cost .
