/I • There were several questions by the Board regarding the drainage of this area. Mr. Smith said eventually the Town will have to service this area. Mr. Smith said he felt that the town should not release the bond on this sub- division until the developer had corrected all the drainage problems. Mr. Smith said we had the same problem over at Freeman's subdivision FREEMAN on Cary Avenue. SUBDIVISION Dr. Cosgrove asked about the State over ruling the Conservation Com- mission requirements on the Freeman subdivision and wondered if the Board of Health would have to go to court to get the problem corrected. Mr. Smith said he did not think so, he felt that if the Planning Board could hold up the bond there, also, until everything was done to the sat- isfaction of the town. Mr. Smith explained that he has been notified by Nancy Banks of Per - HEALTH sonnel that they would try to get an intern to help him. INTERN Dr. Cosgrove said to the Board that he had talked to Mr. Smith and he felt that he would waste a lot of time training an intern. Most of these interns are trained in administrative work, they are not trained in in- spection work or laboratory work. He went on to say he felt an intern would be more of a hinderance to Mr. Smith. Dr. Erdos asked where this intern would come from. Mr. Smith said the University of Mass., Boston, was the only place in the area that was coming up with any interns. At this point Harvard, B.

Mr. Smith said he would be sending back the request sheets on an intern and hopefully something will come from it. Dr. Erdos said he noticed Friendly Ice Cream on Bedford Street permit FRIENDLY was up for renewal and his family had been in this particular store in the ICE CREAM - last few weeks and the odor is like a ditty dish rag. Also, the personnel COMPLAINT in charge has been very young, probably not over 16 years of age. The attire in this place of the help leaves much to be desired. FLU CLINIC Mr. Smith said he felt Friendly's was going down hill. Dr. Cosgrove said he felt it was since Friendly's went public. Mr. Lambie suggested the permit be held up. Mr. Smith said he was in the process of checking all the food establish- ments and he would certainly check Friendly's. It was reported that about 450 influenza vaccine shots had been given at the Flu Clinics. Dr. Erdos said he felt that we had bad publicity. Mr. Smith said since these new people had taken over the newspaper we have had very poor coverage. Dr. Erdos reviewed an article which appeared in one of the medical
