130 BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING October 19, 1951 Dr, Cosgrove, Mr. McQuillan and Mr. Jackson present. Man. Brucchi, 63 Paul Revere Road and'Father Casey came in to discuss an increase in Mr. Brucchi's animal permit. Mr. Brucchi: Dr. Cosgrove: Mr. Brucchi Mr. McQuillan: Mr. Brucchi: Mr. McQuillan: Mr. Brucchi: Father Casey: Mr. McQuillan; Mr. Brucchi: Why should the increase be denied? As a health measure - the keeping of animals and issuing of permits was put in the hands of the Board of Health. But Martin's Riding School in Medford is close to homes. The -Board of Health has'a set of laws governing our actions. With the community growing so rapidly,'we must draw the line on new applications. I have been told that three acres make a farm and I now -have approximately two and one half acres. The ponies are a business with me. I might have a few for a short time until they can be sold.' Two ponies are just for my own children. The barn will be cleaned daily and the manure removed often. There is to be all new fence around the pasture. • The -sheep will be slaughtered soon and I will keep- no more. So far you have defied all the orders -of the Board of Health. All 1'wanton my permit is one large heifer, one small heifer,"eight horses and seventy-five chickens. I had al- most fifty guinea hens after the Board of Health told me to get rid of than. John is typical of animal lovers, he has a weakness to take in everything that does not have a home. As a -horse trader, he wants to outwit everyone; he loves animals more than he loves the law. The Board of Health has been placed in a spot by the objections. I bought the house and land as a farm, The riding ring is just for children and family, I em not operating a business there. 1-4 1 1
