The Lincoln Town House Commission
met by adjournment yesterday afternoon
to formulate plans for the report which is
to be submitted to the taxpayers OF the
Town OF Lincoln at special town meet
ing. While no actual business OF import
ance was transacted, yet an informal talk
was held concerning the different places
visited and the town houses inspected.
The good and bad points OF the buildings
were discussed at length, and 1t was the
opinion OF the commission that they had
gained valuable information.
Messrs. Jones, Fitzsimmons and Easton
were appointed subcommittee to pre-
pare report to be presented at the pro-
posed meeting OF taxpayers. No definite
plans have been formulated as yet, but 1t
Is thought that the committee will recon-
mend a wooden building with the vault
as an annex, so situated that the Town
Clerk will have clear view OF its interior
from his desk. The lower floor, as planned,
will be about 35x55, partitioned Of into
rooms for the Town Clerk, council cham
Der and several small rooms for various
purposes.
The upper floor will be for the use Of the
taxpayers and will have seating capacity
Of 400 people. The lower floor will be
about IL feet In the clear-that Is, II feet
from floor to ceiling. When the plans are
accepted at the town meeting they will be
given to architects and the successful one
will be paid for his trouble. 1t Is expected
that the subcommittee will be able to have
its report ready within two weeks to sub
NIT to the taxpayers.
