Review of Conservation Hearing on Wood End Cemetery The April 26th Trustees Meeting with the Conservation Commission was reviewed. Two of the remaining questions raised by the Com- mission were: access to the Conservation land to the rear of the Cemetery - and saving the trees bordering the Conservation property. Supervisor Keating will flag the trees in question with Tree War- den Bud Dickey and will have Mr. Dickey attend the next Conserva- tion hearing on may 10, 1995. On a motion by Mr. Driscoll seconded by Ms. Miller, it was unani- mously voted to provide a five (5) foot pedestrian access on the west side of Wood End Cemetery from Franklin Street to the Con- servation property.

The Trustees requested the Trustee Chairman to contact the Town Manager as to what legal options the Trustees have in case of an unfavorable decision by the Conservation Commission. 3.
