The Board voted to hold the next regular meeting of the <br />Board on Friday, October 22, 1954. <br />Meeting adjourned at 5 P.M. <br />A true copy, Attest: <br />Clerk <br />BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING <br />October 22, 1954 <br />237 <br />The regular meeting of the Board of Health was held Friday, <br />October 22, 1954 at 3 TTM. in the Conference Room, 'Cary Memorial <br />Hall. Chairman McQuillan, Dr. Cosgrove, and Mr. Cole were present. <br />Mr. Mark Lurvey, Health Sanitarian, and the clerk were also <br />present. <br />Mr. Lucas of Whitman & Howard sat in with the Board to discuss <br />engineering problems. Mr. Lucas presented a tentative letter that <br />could be sent out to the builders explaining what the Board of <br />Health expected the builder to do and steps to follow in the in- <br />spections of cesspools and septic tanks. This letter to be sent <br />to every builder when he makes an application for building. <br />Mr. Lucas suggested that the builder also submit a plot plan <br />of the house, showing where the cesspool is to be, etc. When <br />the engineer goes out he would see what had been approved, and <br />then check again to see if it is being done.

Mr. Howard of Whitman & Howard had suggested a fee of <br />25.00 a lot for the engineering inspections, to be paid by the <br />builder, which would be the percolation tests and inspections <br />and which would in most cases mean three trips that the engineer <br />would have to make. <br />Mr. McQuillan with the approval of Dr. Cosgrove suggested <br />that M r. Lucas, Mr. Cole, and Mr. Lurvey get together and discuss <br />these matters between them and come to some arrangement that will <br />work out. <br />The matter of the engineer now making inspections on Monday <br />of each week was brought up for discussion.
