respect ot sitting down and asking what is expected of planning board is street lighting an example of planning it could be replied mr adams he was asked his opinion on two contentious recommendat ions made by the previous plan ning board the hiring of a aon- ing bytaw administrator and supplying copies of building per mits to members of the planning board air adams said he felt every municipality should have a sys tem of enforcing its bylaw but how that is accomplished is up to council to find out he wondered if the requested supplying of copies of building permits was so planning board could keep up with developments or whether they would move in to some other groups area of responsibility air adams agreed with mayor duby that a town the site of act on must have enforcement

the beginning of a building sea son perhaps a retired engineer to watch construction drawings as well as plot plans should be required from the developer be fore building permits are issued last week

though according to officials in terviewed by this newapapor is that already 1000 acres of land has twett out up into nmall hold ings from 10 acres to an acros and 40 percent of this was in tho last
