`3 It was asked if the Board could not use Mr. Freeman's engineer if he was reputable. Mr. Smith dis say he didn't think that would be a good idea. He sug- gested that we hire our own engineer to go through the plans before it is approved by the Board. The Board agreed and suggested that Mr. Smith contact the Town Manager about hiring our own engineer if this subdivision did have to go to septic systems because of the sewer moratorium. Mr. Smith said he had been out to re -check the Spaulding & Slye property at 1-5 Forbes Road where they have proposed to build a. 230 square foot of- 1-5 FORBES fice building. The water table was up another foot and at this secomd in- ROAD spection it was figured that they could put in one septic system instead of the two. This will allow them to build the one building instead of the two that was originally planned. Mr. Smith went on to say that he is sure Spaulding & Slye hope the sewer moratorium is lifted before they are ready to install septic systems but they cannot get a building permit until we approve the lots and the system With the water table as high as it is we cannot approve the lots for two septic systems and before approval could be granted more information regarding the pumps to be used must be submitted. The Board instructed Mr. Smith to stay with the problem. The use of the Emergency Medical Service was brought to the Board's at- tention. Dr. Erdos said that he had never received a call through that service, he said his group had their own service that included all the doctors except Dr. Gerber. He went on to explain that about ten to twelve times a year they are called upon to pronounce a person dead rather than transport EMERGENCY that person to the hospital. He went on to explain that when a doctor is MEDICAL called for this type of emergency the patient is usually one who did not have a pyysician of their own choice or it was an accidental death, in either case the medical examiner should be the one called and not a physician. Dr. Erdos went on to explain that he had met with the Town Manager to discuss this problem and at the present time everything seemed to be straightened out. The Board asked if the doctors received many calls through the Emergency Medical Service paid for by the Board of Health. Dr. Erdos said "No" that the doctors had made up their own -chedule so that in an emer cncy one of the doctors could be reached. After further discussion of this service it was agreed to check out the number of calls made to this number by the Police or Fire Department. Also it was agreed we should check with the doctors who have been listed on the service. The Board agreed that if this service was not being used they would dis- continue the service. Mr. Smith reported that they had a memo from John McSweeney regarding the sewer surcharge of January 26, 1978. It was found that at that time it was not the sewage causing the problem but the infiltration into the SEWER SURCHARGE 1-26-78
