Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court June 16, 1908 (Beckford v. Inhabitants of Needham)

Morton, J.

The only question in this case is whether the failure of the town authorities to cause a description and plan of land taken to widen High Street to be filed in the registry of deeds as required by R. L. c. 48, § 97, within sixty days after the vote of the town accepting the relocation, renders the act of the town in taking the land and widening the street void.
