17 Mr. Smith said that he would recommend a temporary permit for ninety (90) days at first Lisa Fitzgerald then asked if she could keep six horses on the property. "Oh, No:", said Dr. Cosgrove. "You show that you can keep four horses properly before you ask the Board to keep six horses." The Board agreed that four horses was all they would allow at this time and they also agreed that the animal permit would be a temporary one for ninety(90) days. At the end of ninety days, the Board will consider a regular permit as long as the regulations and conditions set by the Board of Health are abided by. Mrs. Fitzgerald Lovett thanked the Board and she and her daughter retired. Mr. Smith told the Board that many food establishments were changing their DISHWASHING dishwashing machines to a chemical disinfectant instead of a hot water dis- MACHINES infectant type machine. He said the sanitary code allows this although he doesn't care for them as well. Most nursing homes are putting this type in. They will be required to keep records of the temperatures, cleanliness, etc. and the only proper way would be for Mr. Smith to design and distribute a record form for the places that these machines are in operation. Mr. Smith said that Howard Johnson's Friendly's, Bel Canto, Lexington Hall Nursing Home and several other places have this new chemical type machine. Mr. Smith said they don't need a permit to put one of these in, but they must conform to the specifications of the Board of Health. Mr. Smith mentioned to the Board the accident that occurred at the Town pool. A nine year old girl slipped on the steps of the high diving board and landed on the cement. She was taken to Lahey Clinic and later transferred to the Children's Hospital. Mr. Smith went to the center pool and checked the steps of the ladder. He said everything was as it should be. They maintain strict regulations at the pool. Water samples taken from the Town pools continue to be good. "Res" counts are coming up. Money has been appropriated to drill a well at the "Res" to help the water supply over there. Mr. Smith mentioned briefly an oil spill at the Lexington Gardens. It had occurred a few months ago and at that time the drain had been cleaned and then the oil spilled into conservation land. The pipe wasn't cleaned so the oil came back. "Jet -Line" came in and cleaned everything out good. Mr. Smith told the Board that he had gone to a Hazardous Waste Conference in Springfield on June 24, 1981. ACCIDENT AT TOWN POOL Mr. Smith reported that we had been notified by the State that we will be allotted 490 doses of flu vaccine free for this coming fall. That is only 75% of our needs. Mr. Smith told the Board we really need about 130 extra doses that we will have to pay for. He would like the Board's permission to order it. The Board told Mr. Smith to go ahead and order the vaccine he needed.
