Lee Building Code Adoption Could Shift Local Power
Lee town pondered shifting enforcement of building codes from the Selectmen to the Planning Board once a building inspector is hired. The change would require a town meeting vote and weekly Planning Board meetings. Planning Board member Martin H. Deely urged similar Lenox arrangements to speed approvals and improve interboard communications. District Court fined four Pittsfield youths for disturbing the peace, with other charges dismissed.

Lee Bypass Debate Highlights Laurel Street Tangle
About 20 residents attended an informal hearing on a Route 20 bypass through Lee, with broad support but strong disagreement on how Laurel Street fits in. Proposals favor a limited access road from Laurel Street foot to Housatonic Street north of the Turnpike, mainly along the river, funded by the state. Critics fear Laurel Street cannot handle traffic and may slow heavy vehicles. others urge widening and extending Laurel Street and integrating Route 102 commercial expansion. The group urged three-area study groups and renewed DPW pressure for a firm commitment, while a Lenox chamber official warned bypasses can harm town vitality.
