REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD
The Planning Board has completed the base map of the town of Rutland. Outside of a few minor corrections that will have to be made, the maps will be ready for all town departments within two or three months. All departments are asked to submit a request for these maps.
The changes to be made are in part related to proper- ties held by the M. D. C. and the Commonwealth of Massachu- setts.
Proceedings of the street-naming committee were de- layed until this base map was in sufficient form to work with, and it is now available for their use.
