270 BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING April 20, 1956 A regular meeting of the Board of Health was held in the Selectmen's Room, Town Offices, on Friday, April 20, 1956, with Chairman McQuillan, Mr. Cole, and Mr. Lurvey present. The meeting was delayed from 3 to 3.30 P.M. because the Health Office was swamped with telephone calls, parents signing up for the second order of polio vaccine, and doctors picking up their allotted vaccine. Mr. Peckham, chairman of the new Methodist Church Com - Methodist mittee, and Mr. Custance, the builder, met with the Board Church at 3.45 P.M. to discuss a solution of the sewerage plan for the church. Mr. Cole recommended asking Whitman & Howard, the engineers, to make a study and suggest a plan. State approval must be secured, too. A safe solution, but more expensive, would be to run in the other direction. There will be sewer for the property, probably, in the next two years, and the present ejector pump could be connected to the swwer then. The Board moved to reconsider the subject, and to have Whitman & Howard make a study. Mr. Lurvey reported that the Polio Inoculation Program Polio is progressing nicely. Three of the nine Lexington schools Program have had their clinics, and two Public Clinics for Pre - School and Private School children have been held.
