Pairs Thomas: I move the Article as printed in the Narraiiu w.itin -Lne aeleziorl of the words" or take any action there to. Again I will defer to the Planning Board Chairman., Lotion seconded f Richard Terry: Basically the Planning Board is in favor of this again. This .1 provides when opening Streets that it be done with the Building Inspectors approval. This. .will deter builders from damaging roads by cutting corners, leaving a mess after the construction is completed. So they will have to put ! up a bond before they are able to build_' . Again I think it is good protectic : for the Town and the Planning Board agrees. John Malone: Is this only applicable to private roads or also applicable to Town owned roads? Richard Terry: All streets. Frederic Blythe: What about the Gas Company, etc? I have known two or three cases where it has been months before they have come back to fill in holes.
