276 Swine BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING July 20, 1956 A regular monthly meeting of the Board of Health was held in the Selectmen's Room of the Town Offices on Friday, July 20, 1956, at 3.P.M. Chairman McQuillan, Dr. Cosgrove, Mr. Cole, and Mr. Lurvey were present. As no meeting is usually held in August, it was decided to have a special meeting the first Friday in September, the 7th, to attend to matters that may come up in the interim. There was some discussion on the matter of keeping swine, now that the town has grown so much, and the case of Mr. Dailey was talked over. Mr. Dailey, 114 Marrett Road, has been keeping pigs again, without a permit. Mr. Lurvey is taking care of the matter, and is to give Mr. Dailey notice that the pigs must be disposed of within a specified time. Walnut Farms, the Potters, still keep swine, but the Board feels that it is only a matter of time before the neighbors will bring pressure to bear. Three applications for permits for Rendering, Rubbish Permits Removal, and Sewage Removal, were received from Bay State Tallow 'Company, Abattoir Avenue, Brighton, Sullivan Trucking Company, 64 Paul Revere Road, Lexington, Joseph App, 855 Main Street, Wilmington.
