with the recommendation thA.t lots 1 through 6 be accepted as recreation
land with an easement between lots 29 and 30 to allow access from the

that,if this land is unacceptable to the Commiss:lon,the'sum of $100 per
approved lot on the final subdivision plat be accepted in lieu of land.

Planning Board to tell them of this and the secretary was requested to
prepare a letter to this effect,as well. Arrangements will also be made
