Cornwall Street, to Loudoun Street. . . . .
2- Adopted the extension of North Street Eastward indefinite-
ly., The Man will ,show, it ,go,ing beyond the east boundry of the.
Phillips- Nickels Property.

OZ-9
4- It was decided to shift the extension of Woodberry Lane
between Market Street and Route 7 slightly so that it will go
through the vacant lot just east of Mr. Lytle Property. An exten-
sion through thigh area is considered important by the town engi-
neer in order to extend water and sewage lines which go into the
Woodbury Lane.
5- It was decided to eliminate the proposed extension of
Cornwall Street from Slack' s Lane to Harrison Street. It was felt
important to arrange for streets in the area east of Harrison
and between North and Market Streets. Thus the various streets
shown in this area in the plan were kept.
The above changed having been made, the Planning Commission
readopted the street development plan and is pleased to resub-
mit it to the Councili for further consideration. ., .
