1 1 1 Chief Bergeron said everything will be free -of -charge except the blood tests. If anyone cannot afford to pay, they certainly will not turn them away. The Board said if they can help in any way, to be sure and come back in to another meeting. Chief Bergeron thanked the Board and retired. Mr. Smith told the Board that Gov. King is declaring the week of November 30, 1981 "Visiting Nurses Association Week". The V.N.A. here are running a mini clinic at Cary Hall on December 1, 1981 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Mr. Smith said if we have any pneumococcal vaccine left from our own clinic we will make it available to the nurses for their mini clinic. Mr. Smith discussed briefly with the Board the new permit fees that are voted in by the legislature. At the present time, our milk licenses are at the maximum of $2.00 a permit but the State has now raised it to a maximum of $10.00 a permit. Dr. Erdos said, "We raised a lot of our fees last year". Mr. Smith said any we raised were not regulated by the State. He said we now get a $1.00 for methyl alcohol licenses and we can now go to $5.00 a permit if we care to, with Town Meeting approval. We get $25.00 for each funeral director and the legislature has voted it can be raised to $100.00. Mr. Smith said he would be interested in raising the milk and methyl alcohol fees with the approval of Town Meeting. Dr. Roemer said we should raise the fees this year. The present fees do not even pay for the clerical help. Mr. Smith had copies of water testing results that had been taken of the Town water. He told the Board these samples are taken every week by the P.W.D. We do the quarterly testing and send it to the Lawrence Experimental Station. Zero coliform in the reports received. X99 VISITING NURSES ASSOCIATION Dr. Erdos said we do not have to spend any time with this letter. We are all in agreement with you that all departments should work together in planning a program to help residents get rid of small quantities of hazardous wastes. This is in regard to a letter Mr. Smith sent to several Town Boards suggesting they get a program started whereby residents can get rid of hazar- dous waste material sometimes found in their homes. Mr. Smith told the Board that the last $2,000.00 of the mosquito control budget appropriated by Town Meeting is being spent this week with drainage and dredge work being done. This has been a good summer this past year with not too many mosquitoes. People have been using everything for the gypsy moths and it seemed to help keep the mosquito population down, also. - FEES - STATE REGULATED WATER SAMPLES HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL RESIDENTIAL MOSQUITO CONTROL
