257 BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING October 21, 1955 A regular meeting of the Board of Health was held in the Selectmen's Room, Town Offices, on Friday, October 21, 1955 at 3 P.M. Chairman McQuillan, Dr. Cosgrove, Mr. Cole, and Mr. Lurvey were present. Regular bills to the amount of $345.73 were discussed and approved. The report of the Visiting Nurse Association Bilis for the month of September was read. Mr. Sweeney, who is trying to build at 72 Cary Avenue, met with the Board at 3.30 P.M. to discuss the problem of a workable sewage system for his lot. The plan worked out by Mr. Nylander, Mr. Sweeney's engineer, could not be ap- proved by Mr. Lurvey and the Board.

Medical Attendance was increased to $180 from $125 but is to include Inoculations. As the Salk Vaccine Inoculation situation is not settled for next year, we shall have to ask for the money when we know how many children are to be inoculated and when. One plan is to inoculate all children from 5 years up to 15 years of age. The account for Hospitals was cut from 4900 to 9700 as we have not had a demand for this of late. The budget for the Middlesex Sanatorium and for the Visiting Nurse Association will remain the same as that seems to be about right. Burial of Animals is running a little ahead of usual so the amount should be increased from $45 to $50. Laboratory Expenses will be more next year because
