Received report of Golden Hill Road Committee, Ap- pointed to Fulfill Requirements of Article Four of the War- rant for the Town Meeting of September 28, 1936.


"Your Committee, after visiting this section and con- sulting with the Superintendent of Public Works, decided the only feasible entrance to the Golden Hills Section from Main Street to be over the Waitt right of way to Traveller Road and along Castle Rock Road.


This route would necessitate obtaining the right to cross the line of The Eastern Massachusetts Electric Company and entail considerable expense in land taking's for a right of way over other private properties. (Probably about $5,000).


The Public Works Department estimates the minimum cost for material and labor for a gravel road with tarred sur- face at $10,000.


Considering that the length of the proposed road is 2500 feet, the committee feel that this estimate is very conserva- tive.


It is the unanimous opinion of this committee that the proposed road is not of sufficient public benefit to warrant the expenditure of such a sum at this time.


HARRY W. MERRILL, Chairman. GEORGE QUARMBY, WASHINGTON L. BRYER, GEORGE I. HULL, ROSS E. COON, Secretary.


Voted: That the committee be dissolved.
