Report of Planning Board
Following the annual town meeting for the year 1936, the Plan- ning Board was organized and the officers elected. Several meet- ings have been held and matters within the jurisdiction of the Board have been discussed with the view of accomplishing as fully as possible the purposes of its existence.
It has been the recent action of the Board to take steps to eliminate certain unsightly places or locations as such and to adopt means within its authority to improve the appearance of such places, in which action the assistance and cooperation of the proper persons directly concerned will be necessary. This work, it has been decided, comes within the spirit and the purpose of the creation of the Board and it is expected that it will have the full support of the town inhabitants. In addition, it will be carried on in conjunction with the Board of Public Works.
A further policy has been adopted to the effect that the Board will consider in the town planning certain hazardous conditions for travel on the highways and streets, with the view particularly of eliminating dangerous turns and blind corners that presently exist in all parts of the Town. This will constitute an important function of the Board in conjunction with the Board of Public Works, and it is expected that in due time constructive results will be accomplished.
