Mr. Kimball reported that examination of the new highway
from the Belmont line to Waltham Street disclosed no really sat- Highway
isfactory site for a business district. However, the site.pre-

proposed traffic circle near Walden Pond, but finds that the
proposed circle is not to be constructed. It has been ascertain-
ed that the Concord Board of Selectmen do have the right to
