Highland Avenue to finance this work and to maintain a camp for the Girl Scouts on the rear part of the land they own at this location. The Club would not want to see any business installed that would be obnoxious either to the Camp or to Mr. Amanti. Mr. Amanti said he did not to hinder the good work of the Club but he did want to protect his own property. He asked that any rezoning should not extend to his land. Mr. Ingraham said he thought he could assure Mr. Amanti that that there would be no business erected within 200 or 300 feet of his land. Mr. Amanti asked if this could be increased to provide for no business within 500 feet of his land. Mr. Schaffner, presidentof the Lynn Lions Club, confirmed that there would be no business within 200 feet of the Amanti land and asked the Board to reserve any decision until the Club had had an opportunity to come to some agreement with Mr. Amanti.

I City Clerk Augustine .T. Toomey has asked me to answer f your letter of the 10th to him in regard to the employment of Miss E. Mabel Curtis as a part-time clerk of the Planning Board, As to the rate of pay for Miss Curtis, you will note in the letter from Warren H. Butler, dated December 21, 1946, and to which you refer, that Mr. Butler said at that time. "She has been paid varying amounts, dependingon the. amount . of work done, the maximum being $100 per year, until the past two or three years when the work increased to some extent. This year she will have been paid x$300.00. The special work vfsich required this extra payment probably will not be continued during 1947." Since 1947 Miss Curtis has been paid different amounts annually, depending upon the work involved, and this, I may say, has been the case during the nearly thirty years that she has been associated witt the Planning Board. I am enclosing the statement of appointment that you require..
