known concern interested in locating in North ~ndover. This concern would
employ about 15OO persons. This would be a large tax revenue to the Town.
Mr. Kurtz Hanson stated that he was very enthusiastic about having this
concern locate here.. The building, would be modern stremlined type which
would be beneficial to t~e town and to its inhabitants. He also s tared that
even° if the Boards had planned for many years for industrial development they
could net have hopes for at, thing better than this plant. This was made te
order for this torah, and was like ~ua from heaven. He felt confident that
the Attorney General would act in all rapidity to see this thing through the
regular channels. This was a tremendous step in the right direction.
Mr. Edwin C. Murph~ stated that if this town passes up this opportunity it'
would be impossible to walk about without sh_~e in the face of the umsmployment~
situation in this area. He felt that all the town organizations should get
behind this and do all they-could to bring this industry to this town~
Mr. Willis then stated that the Advisory Board would be the logical board to
give this publicity and suggested that the Advisory Board put out a letter
that would reach every voter in town.
Mr. Gough~n of the Advisory Board felt as did all of those present that this
was an excellent suggestion and he stated that his board would ~ite up a
letter which could be mf-eographed and distributed at least one to each home.
Mr. Reinhold then asked about the wage rate as he had heard that the wage rate
was very low. Mr. Hanson then explained that the wage rate of this concern
was very adequate and he felt that he knew since he had to compete with them~
He stated that they hire persons with no experience and as they gain the experience
the wages are raised accordingly.
Mr. Willis then asked if this would be "Spot Zoning". Mr. Reinhold and the
members of the Planning Board explained that this was a very la, ge area and
net a single lot and they did not think that this could be classed as spot
zoning.
The combined meeting of the two Board was adjourned at this point and the
Planning Board held an executive session.

own initiative would hold a public hearing on July 14, 1953 at The Town ~.ll
en this matter. The ~a~ter of the Public Hearing had been voted upon by the

all the members of the Planning ~oard and all were in agreement that this
Public Hearing sho,~ be called at the earliest possible moment and the first
advertisemsnt was publishe~ in the Evening Tribune on the evening of June ~,
1953 and will be published a gain on the eevening of Jul~ 11, 1953.
It was 'discovered at thi~ meeting that a typographical error had been ~ade
in the notices 'm~led to the abutters and owners concerned with the area
question. Their notices read that the 'public hearing would he heYd on June 14
instead of July 14, 1953. The Board discussed this matter a~d so that there

first notice and that these should be delivered by hand on July 1, 1953 and
