A meeting of the Planning Board was held at the
Town Office Building on Monday, August 23, 1943 with
Messrs. Greeley, Nickerson, Ferguson, Richards, and
Cromwell.
The minutes of the previous meeting were approved.
The Planning Board met with the Selectmen and
submitted "The Planning Board's Report to the Selectmen
on Postwar Work." This was dated August 22, 1943, Postwar
Copies were given to the Selectmen and one retained Planning
for the files.
The Selectmen displayed particular interest in the
Great Meadows project, the housing of fire apparatus
and surface drainage. They suggested that preliminary
steps be taken toward improving surface drainage in
the town, possibly including a survey of one major
section to serve as a pattern for the others.
They suggested that the engineers department might
be able to pay for this themselves.
A report bearing the title "Postwar Planning",
dated June 8, 1943, prepared by Mr. Paxton was received
by the Board to be filed.
Mr. Myerson's bill for $50. was approved.

assessed values. Mr. Richards was asked to see Mr.
Couette about this.
