1 BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING January 20, 1950 A regular meeting of the Board of Health was held in the Selectmen's Room, Town Office Building on Friday, Jan- uary 20, 1950 at 3:00 P.M. Chairman .''Cosgrove, Mr. Jack- son, the Health Sanitarian, and the Clerk were present. Mr. John Brucci met with the Board with reference to his application for permission to keep animals at his pro- perty on Paul Revere Road. Brucci: I had Mr. McQuillan up to my place and he agreed that the place looked different than it did on paper. Chairman: We have not met, of course, since we were up to your place and I can't act for the entire Board. I will ask you to wait until the first of the week and I will contact the other members of the Board myself. Brucci: Frankly, I did get an attorney and told him I would let him know by tonight. Chairman: The chances are he would not do anything before the first of the week. Brucci: Chairman: Brucci: Chairman: Brucci: I could changethe application on the number of goats from 2to 10. Do you want to change it? Yes, I will not have more than 10 at any one time. If you only intend to keep 2 horses, don't leave 5 on the application. The other night I was going to buy 2v horses, but have no place to keep them. I can pick up horses with weak backs at riding stables for a song. They are not diseased. I take their shoes off and throw them in the pasture and keep them for four months. I can then get three or four times my money bab]. In the winter I will only keep three. I don't expect to keep more than two cows in the winter. In the summer if I can get some thin ones I will fatten them up and in the cold weather slaughter them for myself or sell them. In the winter I trill keep only 2 horses, 2 cows and 25 sheep. I will keep 1 goat permanently. The reason I have 1 goat is if a dog gets in he will fight the dog off. 65 Brucci
