Ledgelawn Avenue
Nineteen citizens in the neighborhood of Ledgelawn avenue were present
for discussion re: Ledgelawn Ave. Mr. James J. Dolan, 17 Hamilton Rd., speak-
ing for the group stated that the neighborhood was disturbed because Ledgelawn
avenue was apparently being opened through. This they feared would result in
an increase in both heavy and speedy traffic with resulting danger to their
children. There was considerable discussion. One suggestion was that a road
block be put across the street. The group was advised that it was not in the
power of the Planning Board to erect road blocks. The matter was taken under
advisement and Mr. Dolan will be advised of the result of consideration.
It was suggested that Mr. Snow talk with Mr. Burns about the 110' ease-
ment, and with Mr. Friel to find out if he had granted any rights in the rough
road and what his intentions were in regard to finishing the street.

pared a new instrument conveying a similar easement for sanitary sewer which
had been installed. He has received the transfer of title and therefore pre-
pared for the Planning Board a certificate of approval certifying that the work
performed by Jags A. Carrig as provided in the agreement of Sept. 21, 195.'3 has
been completed to the satisfaction of the Town Engineer and is approved. A
majority of the Board signed the certificate Oct. 25, 1954.

cate of performance which a majority of the Planning Board signed on Oct. 25,
19;54 certifying that the ways and other improvements called for by the condi-
