30 Spencer Complaint - Lex. News Cert. of Incorp. Location Selectmen's Meeting January 15, 1973 Mr. O'Connell reported to the Board regarding the letter of complaint from Louis H. Spencer, 52 Waltham Street, on excessive noise at Lexington News.Company, 32 Waltham Street, from 12:00 M to 6:00 a. m. The Building Inspector and Police Department have checked into it and it adds up to the fact that Lexington News is doing what newspaper companies customarily do. It is an old business and they have operated for years in the rear of 18 Muzzey Street; they haven't changed their schedule but have changed location and it comes up against residential property. It appears the best hope would be for the Board to write to Lexington News and ask if there is anything they could voluntarily do to eliminate the early morn- ing noise. The Board agreed to write to the Lexington News Company and request cooperation by shutting off truck engines upon arrival end not to start them until ready for departure; to confine vehicle movements and parking to the public way; to request all personnel involved in the activity to act with consideration for the abutters relative to slamming of doors, loud conversations, etc. Acting Chairman Bailey requested the Board to approve a idcation' for a Certificate of Incorporation. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the location at 11 Muzzey Street for "Massachusetts Congress of Parents and Teachers, Incorporated." No Parking Acting Chairman Bailey read a Tetter from Homeland Realty, Inc., Waltham 403Waltham Street, requesting that No Parking signs be placed on Waltham Street Street along the curbing in front of Geoffrey's Pharmacy.

Mr. McSweeney: As you know, this is a 1972 Article and we met with Commissioner Campbell and asked if we could participate in TOPICS. I told him we were having an Article for Town Meeting and we received a letter from him saying just send us a copy of the contract, and we did. They came back and asked if we would consider making some improvements in line with the TOPICS program. We have about $5,000 and will get 100 percent participation. Acting Chairman Bailey: We will keep it an open item until we hear from our Mr. Chalpin, Engineer. 1 1
