Conservation Commission opposes bylaw change
Lee Conservation Commission voted five to zero at a special meeting to oppose Articles 33 and 34 in the annual meeting warrant. The proposed zoning would allow auto junkyards in rural business districts, including an Nolan property yard off Route 26 north of town. Nolan said the yard would dismantle cars eight years old or less, sell parts, and scrap the rest. Officials raised concerns about oil and gasoline drainage into a brook that feeds Laurel Lake, air pollution from burning upholstery, and the yard’s proximity to Route 20 and local drainage. The commission's five members present opposed the bylaw change.

LANESBORO The Lions Club announced Alfred Zurrin and William Nesbit were appointed to the Berkshire Park project committee. They will report on area needs at the next meeting. Arthur Seluwartz, president, said the idea was first discussed in a January board meeting.

The second annual game supper will be held at the West Shore Club on April 27, chaired by Peter Traversa with George Wilson and Richard Guery assisting. The next club meeting is March 5. Adams club members are invited. The March 19 meeting was cancelled and a joint meeting with Hinsdale club is set for March 24.
