This sueject was considered at some length. The State
plans were brought to the meeting and did not coincide with
the previously expressed ideas of the Planning Board . Mr.
Myerson discussed various problems concerning the railroad
crossing at East Lexington and the crossing at Massachusetts
Avenue . The chief problem here has to do with whether the

in part on whether the Great Meadows are to be made into a
lake or a park.
