Dear Tom:
I have been concerned for some time about the updating of our comprehensive
plan for Oxford.
The Planning Commission has indicated to me that you have not met with them
to discuss the updating of the Oxford plan and that you have not sought their
suggestions for such a plan, nor their approval of any part of the plan on
which you are working. It appears to me that any plan which does not come
from the people of Oxford, through their representatives, cannot be an Oxford
plan.
