[Talk-us-massachusetts] Old style polygons

[Joseph Holmes]

I just ran the script proposed in the April 26 posting in the Acton 
area, and I got the message "This map intentionally left blank. 
(received empty dataset)". Does this mean that all the mistakes are all 
now repaired? Or is there a problem with the script?
