[MassHistPres] Town Common Policy

[V. Adams]

The book, On Common Ground by Ronald Lee Fleming and Lauri A. Halderman 
provides very useful background and information regarding town greens 
and commons.  Specific chapters address items such as memorials and 
statuary.  The Reading Historical Commission developed guidelines 
encouraging retention of a greensward with minimal intrusion and must 
continually educate against encroachment.  Good Luck.
Virginia Adams, member of Reading Historical Commission
