The oi�rn Fingineer• presented and explained plans of the i.,rash property and Allen Street development. The matter was considered and it ;!as decided that now is the time to lay out -this entire section for future development. Mr. Emery stated that this is an isolated development and has nothing to do with others around it, and_ suggested that the Board refuse to accept the layout until it is carried throwzh to the other three sections. There Is ) vast area of land that has got to be developed and now is the time to la ;r out the principal roads. It w9 s voted to request the Town Engineer to consider the larger area surrounding the 1,_orash property aad to plot the best locations for throut-h roads In different directions tying the properties in ,.rith the best through roads and those about to be laid down by the State, together with the extension of the so-called R-�*der development. It is also the feeling of the Board that particular care should be exercised in the development of the area of the adjoining tracts of the property under con- sideration and the school house. r. Cosgrove stated that it would take some tir-e to do this work as there are about seventy acres in that section. The plan in mind could be a rough piece of viork that would estab- lish relations with the principal streets before anyt' ing is done ori tulle T.loresh pr•opert�. i'ne land o,,nv-r•s on Allen Street anDr•ove the layout but are not int,_ -rested in the developn_ciit at the present time. The vrhole ar-_a should be laicout so that .-ihen other developers attracted by the school house start developing,, this la -gout ,^rillshoir, them where the main streets are located. The Yorash roads ought to be laid down and. tied up with State Road. If Development the nErr date road is p _it through along Concord Avenue, it ori 11 bring a lot of traffic out this way and invite developers. The problem at the present time is the extending of the high land from the school to Blossom Street and laying it out with sufficient outlets to give opportunity to shape it up at a later d.at;e . , t'.,_rcu7,h road_ coming in from *. a.lt.ham Street ,r-th some reasonably direct line into this development was suggested. road cannot be laid do'✓,rn definitely in the low part until a 1:;7ay of dr'ainl.nl7 it is found. Er. Duff,;r stated that sore time ago he suggested that the area from the Tov!n Office Builcing to the High School was going to be quite an important area and prophesied that the Russell llolzse might be the key property in the consideration of the �rrhole area. The Russell House is going out of business July 1st and N,. Duffy thoucrht the matter should be investigated. The Town should. contemplate bU71-31C' it as the present aigh School Building is rapidly becoming 'nadecuate.
