have such street laid out Those VIII
appeared before the board were Thoma

street cut through argued that it wa
needed to develop several building lot
and that the Brattleboro Water compan
would not lay pipes in that district un
til the street was laid out, Mr., Kemp
said he was anxious to have the stree
cut through although it would take
slice from his front yard and leave hi

though it would damage him heavily a
he would lose two grape vines and egf
fruit trees, He said he could build
street and develop his land himself

Miss Bernice Pike protesting against tf
building of the street was read. ST

his property and he was against the ne
street on general principles. The que!
ton was discussed Informally and S.

be laid out. The selectmen so vote
and surveyors will make plans for II
proposed street The abutters will
notified how much of their property
