The applications for swimming pools have been mailed out for the 1981 season. SWIMMING Mr. Smith said he would like all pools to be inspected before Sandy leaves. POOL 1981 SEASON Mr. Smith told the Board that Sandy is doing a very good job and she certainly is a help for him and the Department. Mr. Smith told the Board that the legal notice has gone into the Lexington DEEP TEST Minute Man newspaper for the date of the cut-off for deep test holes for the HOLE CUT OFF rest of the year. He said he has made the cut-off at April 1st. this year as the water table is way down. He said he had checked with other towns and their cut-off date is April 1st. The Board had no objection to the date of cut-off. Mr. Smith said that all of the subdivisions being built are being connected to the public sewer. The Board discussed the below ground tanks for gasoline storage briefly. Mr. Smith said that is more of a Fire Department and Selectmen's Office problem. Dr. Cosgrove asked if Honeywell ever put their tanks in below ground. Mr. Smith said, "No, they never did, they put an addition to the building on instead". Dr. Cosgrove then asked if Honeywell ever connected to the Town sewer system. Mr. Smith said, yes, they were connected to the Town sewer system. Mr. Smith told the Board that he had been to a meeting of the school nurses MANTODX recently where the topic had been on Mantoux testing in the schools. The State TESTING IN Health Department has a bill filed in the legislature relative to doing away SCHOOLS with mandatory mantoux testing for teachers and all school personnel including the bus drivers. The State feels that the results are fruitless and not worth the cost. If the law is changed, the school nurses would like to continue a program (test- ing in house) as they feel it does bring good results but they also fear the school budget would not pay for it if it is not State law. The nurses are going to put a chart together showing the results they have had. Dr. Erdos asked if that would mean now that people would have to get their own ppd. No, Mr. Smith said, but the schools feel they had a very good program going. The State feels for the cost of the program, they find very little T.B. Dr. Erdos said the yield is very low. The Board briefly discussed Article 12 of the Town Warrant.
