at which Messrs. Greeley, Ellis and Kimball were present. The
minutes of the last meeting were read and approved.
A final draft of the Annual Report was approved and signed
by those present.
A revised lay -out (two prints) of proposed entrance streets Follen
to interior lots of the Follen Hill Estates and indorsed "Sub- Hill
witted by Mr. Caouette 1-22-41" was considered. This lay -out Estates
incorporates suggestions made at a previous meeting and was
approved.
The "Budget" data prepared by Mr. Newhall was reviewed and Budgets
changes were suggested in the manner of shoaling temporary loans and
and bonded debt. Mr. Greeley is to present the revised data to Traffic

ing any recommendations they may make as to its immediate disposal.

at Massachusetts Avenue and Waltham Street and in "stream lining" to
Annual Town Report will also be made.
'The suggestion that Waltham Street be widened in front of Wal thaw
the old Post Office lot as made by Mr. W. F. Ballard to the Board Street
of Selectmen was discussed and t he Clerk directed to advise the Widening
Supt. of Public works to tris effect that; if the project esn be
accomplished without incurring expense for land taking the board
is favorably inclined and feels that it is warranted for use in
connection with normal business at that point.
General traffic movement will probably be little affected
by the change and with status of the Circumferential Highway
so uncertain it does not appear wise to make any considerable
investment at this point.
Meeting adjourned at 10:-2 P. M. to Monday, Feb. 31 1941 at
71030 P. M.
Respectfully submitted,
Clerk, Pro -tem
