SUBDIVISION
The sketch was reviewed by the members of the board and it was
-
their consensus that the proposed way northwesterly from Eldred St.
ELDBED ST.
should be laid out not with a view towards an ultimate extension
-
to Bedford St. near Hartwell Ave., but rather generally parallel to
WILSCN
Justin Street. Mr. Wilson agreed to have his plans modified as
recommended by the Planning Board for a possible future extension
towards Rangsway or Marvin Street. The problem of using Justin St.
remains to be solved as Mr. Wilson only owns the fee to the middle
of it.
