We, the Road Commissioners of Dighton on the peti- tion of the Mount Hope Finishing Co., that the bounds of Spring street be relocated westerly from their works, did order a hearing to be held on Friday May 27th, 1904, at 2 o'clock P.

The full board met at the time and place aforesaid, no person objected to the pro- posed change. After hearing all parties, and viewing the premises, we recommend the town to adopt the following relocation as described in a plan of a section of Spring street, Dighton, Luther Dean, engineer, dated November, 1903, and described as follows: viz., The new northerly line of said street as described as follows: beginning in the present northerly line of said street at the end of a stone wall; thence westerly by a straight line in prolonga- tion of the line of said wall sixty-four and 6-10 feet to a point, thence westerly by a true curve of radius of nine hundred fifty five and 36-100 feet and tangent to last described line four hundred eighteen and 44-100 feet to a point in the present northerly line of said street. The southerly line to be parallel to above described lines and thirty-three feet distant therefrom. 1


The exact location of said lines is as shown on plan of section Spring street signed by Luther Dean, engineer, and dated November,1903. For said widening and straight- ening land is taken from the Mount Hope Finishing Co.,
