ACADEMY ROAD:
Attorney Elw]~a King came before the board, representing Mary Charles of Academy
Road~ with 'reference to a petition of-~the Lawrence G & E Co. installing poles
on ~cademY Road. Mm. King stated that ~here would be a .better appearance if the
poles were left as they. are and underground wires were laid. The power could go
from the Dow ar Charles property. He felt that these residents could work out
something with the ~as Company and Mrs. Charles might agree topay any excess cost
for underground wires. However, they are not prepared to do this at.this time as
they wish to get figures and Mr. King ~o'uld ]Like to have action ~elayed for two
weeks. He woulc' like to board to delay action and notify the Gas Company.
Mr. Thomson inquired if Mr. King were satisfied with the easements given to the
Lawrence G & E Co~ to which he replied that .he believed they did sign something
which the. y felt sure were easements.
He also inquired if the conduit were under ~he street would it be of.-sufficient
volume to take care of the Brown house only. He also mentioned that there is
another.lot which maybe sold a~ s~me future date and then ~his poleamatter
would come up again.
Mr. King' explained in answer to Mr. Thomson's question as to whether or not this
was a new thought of ~Mr. & Mrs. Charles, that they were away whe~ the notice
arrived.
Mr. Thomson stated that Mr. Brown's contention is that this delay has caused
expense and he is anxious to have service immediately.
Mr. Coffins tared that he would want to have Mr. Brown's opinion as t~ this new
arrang, ement and that ~ action now taken would not reflect on our former
action with the Lawrence G & E. Co. He ~ted to know if the Charles' would deftnite-
ly pay the cost and Mr. King said no, not un$il they get prices and if reasonable
~hey will pay the cost.
