Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Plymouth ss.
On the petition of Rockland Trust Company, Trustee for the Allen Associates, by Horace T. Fogg, Vice-President, presented to the County Commissioners of Plymouth County at their meeting holden at Plymouth on the second day of September, in the year of our Lord 1913, representing that the public highway in Scituate in said County, known as the Jericho Beach Road, from its junction with Hatherly Road, and extending in a general northeasterly direction to a point near the house owned by Mrs. Rose Dwyer is crooked and inconvenient and in some places dangerous
82
for public travel and requesting a view of the premises and the alteration, straightening or new location of said highway or the laying out of a new highway within the termini aforesaid or such other action as public necessity and com- mon convenience may require and the discontinuance of such parts of the present highway as may be rendered useless by any action taken, reference being had to the pe- tition filed of record in the case.
The County Commissioners, pursuant to an order of notice duly published, posted and served, by which all persons and corporations interested had due notice thereof, met to view the premises at the Scituate Yacht Club House in said Scituate, on the eighth day of October, A.D., 1913, at 10.30 o'clock in the forenoon, and after viewing the premises and hearing all persons and corporations who desired to be heard, they adjudicate and determine that common convenience and necessity require that the prayer of said petition be granted as hereafter set forth; no person or corporation then or at any other time objecting thereto.
And they continue and adjourn said proceedings from time to time for further consideration and to make return thereof, all persons and corporations interested having due notice thereof, to a meeting of the County Commissioners held at the Court House at Plymouth on the eighteenth day of November, A.D., 1913, when and where they proceed to complete said proceedings and make return thereof as follows, to wit:
Then proceeded to widen the highway in said Scituate known as Jericho Beach Road, by beginning at a concrete bound in the present northwesterly line of said road bearing north 52° 22' east, one hundred ninety-nine and 1% feet distant from the stone bound which marks the northeasterly end of the curve at the corner of said Hatherly Road and said Jericho Beach Road, and running thence northeasterly by a curve to the right of 2876.19 feet radius, (374.80) feet in the highway on land of James J. Barry and land of the Allen Associates to a stone bound which marks an angle in the northwesterly line of said Jericho Beach Road as
83
established by the County Commissioners, January 3, 1882, acting under the petition of Dana Smith and others, said curve to be marked by concrete bounds 74.96 feet apart, said highway to extend forty feet in width on the southeasterly side of the above described line of location, said southeasterly line to be marked by concrete bounds opposite and forty feet distant from the bounds in the above described northwesterly line of location; then pro- ceeded to lay out and establish a new highway within the termini named in said petition, by beginning at the last named stone bound and running thence north 59° 50' east, (193.08) feet to a concrete bound, thence by a curve to the left of 589.20 feet radius, (549.84) feet all on land of Allen Associates aforesaid, to a concrete bound in the present westerly line of said Jericho Beach Road, said curve to be marked by concrete bounds 49.98 feet apart and said new highway to extend forty feet in width on the south- easterly side of the above described line of location and the southeasterly line thereof to be marked by concrete bounds opposite and forty feet distant from each of the bounds in the above described northwesterly line.
Then proceeded to widen and locate anew said Jericho Beach Road, by beginning at the last named concrete bound at the terminus of the above described section of new highway and running thence north 6° 21' east in the present northwesterly line of location of said Jericho Beach Road (251.3) feet to a concrete bound, thence by a curve to the right of 995.73 feet radius (450) feet in the highway and on land of Allen Associates aforesaid to a concrete bound, said curve to be marked by concrete bounds seventy- five feet apart, thence by a curve to the right of 562.94 feet radius, (234.24) feet on said land of said Allen Associates, land of The Humane Society of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and in the highway to a concrete bound in the present northwesterly line of location of Jericho Beach Road as established in 1882 as aforesaid, said highway to extend forty feet in width on the southeasterly side of the above described line of location, said last named curve to
84

At the same time discontinued as a public highway all parts of the present highway which lie outside of the lines of the widening and new highway as above located.

The inhabitants of the Town of Scituate aforesaid, are hereby ordered to cause said relocation and widening to be constructed as aforesaid, made safe and convenient for the public travel, and to the acceptance of the County Commissioners before the first day of November, A.D., 1914.
At the same time awarded to the several persons and corporations whose lands are taken for said relocation and widening or who suffer damages on account thereof, the several sums hereafter named to be paid from the County Treasury so soon as said town shall enter upon and posses- sion take of said lands for the purpose of constructing said relocation and widening as aforesaid, to wit: James J.
