'/64 SHERATON - LEXINGTON POOLSIDE FOOD SERVICE Mass. STANDARD MORTALITY RATIO 69-78 SEPTIC SYSTEM FRANK SMITH CLEMATIS WAY It was suggested when an applicant applies for a permit, have them list the horse owners on the application. Mr. Smith said we should take each one separately, It would be foolish to send them all to the Board of Appeals. Each case is different. Mr. Lambie asked if Town Counsel would get in on this. Mr. DiMatteo said, "No", the by-laws state quite plainly what is to be done". Mr. Smith told the Board that he had received a letter from the manager of the Sheraton -Lexington requesting to have a pool -side food service as they have in past years. Mrs. Gabriel had been to the Sheraton and reviewed with the manager what the Board of Health expects them to do. Mr. Smith said he had been to the Sheraton this morning and sees no reason why they couldn't have this. Mr. Smith had the book on Massachusetts Standardized Mortality Rations for the years 1969 through 1978. Mr. Lambie asked who had done the work for Lexington that went into this book? Mr. Smith said he thought the information had been supplied by the Town Clerk. He said there had been criticism around the State by the local Health Depart- ments as of its validity. Mr. Smith told the Board that Frank Smith had been into see him and to ask a couple of questions. Frank Smith is going to build a house on Clematis Way and wants to know if he could put in a smaller septic system than is required. It would only be a temporary system because eventually there will be sewer on the street. Ted Freeman is building houses on Clematis Way and is going to put the sewer in for this street. The Town is going to sewer Allen Street. This will go right up past Clematis Way. Things could change, said Mr. Smith, but at present, the Town plans to put in the sewer in the Fall. Mr. Smith told the Board that he has no objection to the smaller system being put in by Frank Smith as long as he puts in a larger leaching bed. He also told the Board that Allen Street and Pitcairn Place are in trouble. Five out of six septic systems need repair. MERCK,SHARP Mr. Smith reported to the Board that he had received a letter from Merck, & DOHME LETTERSharp and Dohme about the Pneumovax Vaccine. It stated that it thould not be given to any pregnant woman or anyone under the menopause age. Mr. Lambie asked if this applied to all pneumovax or just this company. Mr. Smith replied that only one company makes the vaccine and that is Merck, Sharp and Dohme. Mr. Lambie asked what the risk is if it is administered to anyone under the menopause age?
