The Planning Board shall make reasonable rules
and regulations governing the submission of and action on all matters
within its general jurisdiction as defined by Chapter 41 of the General
Laws, as amended, for the holding of hearings, the summoning of witnesses
and the production of records by officials and agents of the City.
