BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING April 15, 1955 The regular meeting of the Board of Health was held on Friday, April 15, 1955 at 3 P.M. in the Selectments Room, Town Office Building. Mr. McQuillan, Chairman, and Dr. Cosgrove were present, also Mr. Lurvey, Health Sanitarian, and the Clerk. Mrs. Anita MacDonald was interviewed by the Board for the position as Clerk at a salary of $38.00 per week, and will start her duties on April 25, 1955. A letter was received from Mr. McConchie enclosing a bill from Whitman & Howard in the amount of $420.00 for a survey and tests to correct the serious sewage condition MdConchie= at Longfellow and Hawthorne Roads. The members of the Board feel that this expense should be borne by Mr. McConchie, as this was the opinion of the Board at a meeting in Decem- ber 17, 1954, when this situation arose. Mr. McQuillan suggested that a letter be sent to Mr. McConchie, returning the bill to him, and explaining that the Board felt that this was his obligation. Mr. Jerry Cataldo appeared before the Board to request permission from the Board to fill in the lowlands on property he owns on Bow Street. It was his intention to have the Town of Aklington dump in this area. They would have equip- ment there to dig trenches for the fill, and then cover over, and eventually raise the land to a higher level. As it is, now, they cannot plant as the brook which runs through over- flows onto this land. This rubbish would consist of house rubbish and street cleanings. Mr. McQuillan stated that this was the first time a situation such as this had come up, and he would rather have the Board of Selectmen be advised of this, and made an appointment for Mr. Cataldo to appear before the Board of Selectmen on Monday, April 25, and outline this plan to them. 249 Clerk Cataldo.
