Mr. Chas. P. Stockwell submitted a plan showing pro-
posed land developments on Longwood Road and requests that the
existing road be widened. A reply was returned stating that
this road was not a public way and would receive no attention
or consideration.
Mr. C. A. Holcomb of,* John Street entered a complaint
regarding the open drain running through his property. The
matter was referred to the Town Counselor for advice.
Two women representing the Reading Women's Club came
�w before the Board. in regard to the playground work. The plans
as outlined seemed very satisfactory.
Because of the great expense involved, the water ex-
tensions on Forest Street have been delayed. One of the appli-
cants for water on this extension came before the Board in re-
gard to the situation. After a discussion it was decided to
lay a 1}" extension on top of the ground at once. This is sat-
isfactory to the applicants and will tide them over the summer
period. Before the ground freezes, permanent pipes will be
laid. .
Before proceeding with the road work on Village Street,
Mr. Collins is to make an effort to have as many sewer entrances
made as possible. This will prevent tearing up the road for
entrances after it is put in shape.
