430 RAYTHEON SANITARIAN'S REPORT Mrs. Caraldo's son said he would send the Board a copy of the letter that the Town of Arlington has sent to him stating that they do not plan to renew their contract for dumping with the Cataldo's and dumping will cease on June 30, 1984. Dr. Roemer asked why we were signing the Raytheon Food Service Permit when they have not complied with the "no smoking" by-law. The Board discussed this issue and said there is only a $20.00 fine and their permit probably wouldn't be revoked. Mr. Smith thinks that Raytheon should be brought into the Board Meeting. It was decided to invite them into a Board Meeting to discuss why they haven't set aside a non-smoking section. Mr. Smith said he would write to them and invite them into a meeting.

There are no big problems in the schools except they are using the unused dishmachines to pile things up in.

They are going to have ROUND the pool hand sanded to see if this will solve the problem. At 7:50 p.m. Mrs. Rita Sullivan, Executive Director of the Lexington Housing Authority and Jim MCLaughlin; Chairman of the Housing Authority, came before the Board, Mrs. Sullivan told the Board that a "rental property" of the Lexington Housing Authority has a serious asbesto problem. This house had been relocated from Lincoln to Wood Street, Lexington when the National Park took oyer Pone of the Lincoln property. The pipes in the cellar have asbesto insulation. Mrs. Sullivan wrote to the State for funds to have the asbestos removed and wanted the Board's approval to do this asbestos removal. The house is occupied now and it is not recommended that the tenants move out but Mrs. Sullivan was told to have the tenants remove everything from the basement the day that the asbestos is removed so that the asbestos
