After some further discussion of the Bonvie subdivision, it was
agreed that a sharing of ideas concerning this project among the
Board of Health, the Planning Board, and the Conservation Commission
would be most helpful for all involved.

Chareth of the Massachusetts Department of Public Works called
her to question the inclusion of the installation of the 3' X 8',
reinforced concrete culvert to replace the existing stone culvert
crossing Willow Street at the Willowdale Golf Course in the Order
of 'Conditions for Route 140 since it had been stated at the
