with the complete physical develpopment ef the Western Electric Compa~ p~.-t
as to the beautifying of its grounds and %_b~ attractiveness of the buildings~
they should not permit a~ change of zoning on the easterlY side ef Osgood

be seriOUsly considered by the townspeople in its overall planning for zoning
