Mr. Charles `I. Ryder's proposed National Park, to be developed on his 'Valtham Street property, was again dis- cussed. 111hile the Board has already indicated to Mr. Ryder that the Town would not be interested in accepted this tract of land as a town park, it seems tow that he has interested Federal Government officials in the idea of making it a National Park. Mr. Greeley was authorized to notify Congresswoman Rogers of the Board's attitude against the idea. It was voted to appropriate the sum of not more than X15.00 to construct a frame for the Master Plan hanging in the office of the Building Inspector. Pdr. Newhall was delegated to handle this project. Relative to the blue print showing the proposed curb line for Yassachusetts Avenue, it was voted to suggest to the Selectmen that they should consider opening negotia- tions VTJth the 73oston rdison Cor --parry in connection with the property owned by them which projects beyond the line. The Clerk was instructed to notify the Selectmen to this effect. Discussion took place relative to changing the district on the west side of Massachusetts Avenue from Colonial Garage to 'Jinthrop Road from a Cl to an Rl district. The Baptist Church was reported as being particularly anxious for this change to takeplace and Fr. Greeley was asked to find out if that organization would be willing to institute a hearing.
