Mr. Greeley reported having attended a meeting of the Parking

The Board attended the hearing held by the Board of
Selectmen in connection with the petition of Scott Realty
Company to demolish the Central Block and build a new Central
structure , same to be set back 25 feet more or less to con- Block
form with the new proposed building line for Massachusetts

Mr. S. R. `Vrightington, was commissioned to place the exact
location of this new line with relation to present and
former street lines .
