August, at nine of the clock in the forenoon, and no party appearing to object to the laying out of said way, they proceeded to lay out and did lay out the same as follows, to wit :

The southerly line is fifty feet distant and parallel to it, and begins at a stake on Harvard street - feet dis- tant from the first mentioned point of beginning, and runs southerly through land of Charles Stearns two hundred nineteen feet to Sewall's avenue; thence by the same line across Sewall's avenue thirty feet to the land of Charles Stearns; thence by the same line through land of Charles Stearns one thousand twenty-two feet four-tenths to a stake; thence turning more easterly by an angle of one hundred seventy-six degrees thirty-three minutes through land of Charles Stearns one hun- dred eight feet five-tenths to land of Augustus Aspinwall; thence by the same line through land of Augustus Aspinwall three hundred eighty- seven feet to land of Charles Stearns; thence by the same line through land of Charles Stearns three hundred forty-two feet one-tenth to land of Charles Stearns, Jr., and Marshall Stearns sixty-seven feet to a stake ; thence turning more easterly by an angle of one hundred seventy-two degrees forty-seven minutes through land of Charles Stearns, Jr., and Marshall Stearns one hundred and four feet to a stake, completing the southerly line of said way, according to and agreeable with a survey and plan of the same made by T. B. Moses, of Roxbury, dated August the 25th, 1857, and approved and deposited in the office of the Town Clerk, August 31st, 1857, at least seven days before this meeting.
The Selectmen have taken land for the purpose of making said road as follows, to wit: Land of Charles Stearns, ninety-four thousand six hundred and seventy-one square feet; land of Charles Stearns, Jr., and Marshall Stearns, eight thousand three hundred and seventy-five square feet; land of Augustus Aspinwall, nine thousand eight hundred and twelve square feet. The land taken for said way belonging to the Messrs. Stearns, they relinquish to the town for that purpose without reward, and they have also agreed in writing to make and grade one-half of the said way suitable for public travel, in conformity with the plan of the same, free of any charge whatever to the town. The land taken for said way belonging to Augustus Aspinwall is by him relinquished to the town for that purpose without fee or reward therefor from the

town, for the above reasons and because the benefit to the owners of said lands is greater than the damages sustained by them in consequence of laying out of said townway. Therefore no compensation is awarded them for the land taken for said way.
The Selectmen will allow the owners of the land over which said way passes, twenty days from the sixteenth day of September, eighteen hun- dred and fifty-seven, to remove all fences, walls and trees therefrom, at the expiration of which time the town will enter upon and make and grade said street, and have it put in order for the public travel by the first day of December next.
