84 IMMUNIZA- TION SURVEY - SCHOOLS CHOATE/ SYMMES ADVISORY COUNCIL LETTER PROPOSED ANIMAL REGULA TIONS Dr. Erdos suggested that an article or two should be put into the newspaper to make people aware of the clinics. Mr. Smith said that he writes an article every year on these clinics to make the public aware of them. We also send letters to the churches and temples and ask them to include the information in any bulletins they have for their congregations. Mr. Smith told the Board that he had received a copy of the school immuniza- tion survey back from the State. The State does this survey every year and it takes in public and private schools. The Lexington Schools are nearly 100%. The children are immunized across the board in early child- hood diseases in this Town. He said the Lexington schools are in pretty good shape as far as immunizations go. Mr. Smith talked about the letter that the office had received a letter from Choate/Symmes Hospital looking for people to serve on the advisory council of the hospital. Dr. Erdos said he is essentially on it now. He has served on the first community task force that was set up initially to aim for certain goals and community related programs. He said he thinks they are looking for a lay person from Lexington to serve. Dr. Roemer said she is currently on the Board and on the long-range planning committee. Dr. Erdos asked Mrs. Crawford, League of Women Voters Representative, sho comes to our monthly meetings, if she was interested in serving on the advisory council. Mrs. Crawford said that she was not interested but she would ask members of the L.W.V. if anyone would be interested in serving on the advisory council. Mr. Lambie asked about the proposed animal regulations. Mr. Smith said he had just received them back from Mr. Norman Cohen, Town Counsel today. Mr. Cohen seems to have modified the health regulations a little bit but Mr. Smith said he thought Mr. Cohen had tried to accomodate the town meeting vote. Mr. Smith feels they should be stuffed by the Board members individually and then discussed before being finalized. Dr. Roemer asked if someone could tell her what the Town meeting vote was. Mr. Smith explained that John Brucchi has been having a private personal war with the Board of Health basically over the sale of his property. Mr. Brucchi has had a permit for eight horses, sheep, chickens, etc. and some listed on his permit (animals that he has never kept). Mr. Brucchi's permit is under the "Grandfather's Clause). Mr. Smith sated that Mr. Brucchi has been very obnoxious the way he has dealt with this Board. Mr. Brucchi insists that he has not been given an opportunity to sell his house because of the health regulations. Mr. Smith explained to Dr. Roemer that the animal permit has always "Not Transferable" but Mr. Brucchi does not want that regulation to in regard to his property. stated stand
