1 1 1 363 Mr. David Henley of the E:M.M.C.P. discussed his program and how the Lexington program would be handled. Dr. Grady discussed how the mosquitoes are separated and tested at their Lab. He said the towns should not control woodlands as much as they should control the mosquito species near the homes. After further discussion on the seriousness of E.E.E. and mosquitoes the Board and the director thanked Dr. Grady for coming to the meeting and discussing this subject with them. Miss Ellen Ripton, Health Intern, told the Board that she had been inspecting SANITAR- all the church kitchens, some retail food establishments and several restaurants. IAN'S She said that she has started now to check out all the vending machines in all REPORT the inplant cafeterias that we have in Town. Miss Ripton finds many diverse problems as she does the inspections. Mr. Smith told the Board that there is an articlein the Town warrant for Town Meeting for a No -Smoking Section for each restaurant in Town. The owner of the Bel Canto Restaurant is fighting it. Some members of the Board can not see what the regulation would accomplish. If people get offended by the smoke, they will not go to that restaurant, anyway. Actually, it has to be self -enforcing. Mr. Smith said he had sent out questionnaires to all restaurant owners, and inplant cafeteria managers in Town. Some have replied and others have not, as yet. The Board decided to wait and see if more people reply to the questionnaire before discussing it further. There had been another problem at the Sheraton -Lexington with the sewer line Someone there had seen the light, heard the bell ring, shut it off, did not tell anyone and therefore the problem started. Mr. Smith said he had met with Frances Fletcher, Regional Director of the Dunfey Hotels, The Town Engineer about this problem. Mr. Smith reported on occasion he get complaints in regard to someone having their house "sandblasted" to remove the paint. He said he checked out the State regulations and at this time there are no regulations and they do not plan to propose any at this time. Mr. Smith said if he gets a complaint, he does check it out, and the sand- blasting companies have always been very cooperative. The lead Paint Law for single family dwellings occupied by the owner clause has been extended until January 1, 1984. There are no changes at this time. If the house is rented out to a family with a child}ren} under six years of age, the house has to be inspected. SMOKING/ NON-SMOK- ING PRO - RAM SHERATON LEX. MOTEL SAND- BLASTING LEAD PAINT LAW
