Obstruction to Traffic View at Sandy Burr:


The Board discussed this matter with the authori- ties at Sandy Burr. It was appreciated that the then existing hedge and stone wall along the road where there is a sharp curve by the old farm house created a menace to automobile traffic. The Sandy Burr authorities of- fered to remove the obstruction without cost to the Town and this work they have performed.


Street Signs


The Board has continued its work of supplying and erecting street signs, and nearly all streets have now been marked. There is a small balance of the special appro- priation for street signs, and the Board will continue its work until all streets are marked.


It has been discovered that the last street leading off the Concord Road to the east before reaching the Lin- coln line has no official name. The Town should vote on this matter. The Town should determine the custody of street signs after erection and provide for maintenance.


Town Plan


The matter of a Town Plan has made progress since


126


.


the Board's last report. The airplane photographs of the center of Cochituate and Wayland villages have been made and will be placed on exhibition in the engine house at Cochituate and in the Town Hall at Wayland. They have already been of use in spotting the locations of buildings for the State Board of Health. The Board has consulted two surveyors on the probable cost of an official map of the Town. The estimates were so far apart that the Board does not consider it can make a recommenda- tion.


The Board believes the airplane photographs a suc- cess and recommends that an appropriation be voted for a complete airplane survey.
