308 Budget 1958 Budget Carcriage House -Restaur ant Harbell St. October 1, 1957. It was decided to wait until the November 15th meeting to work on the budget for 1958 when the full Board would probably be present. The Board adjourned at 4.20 P.M. BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING November 15, 1957 Clerk The monthly meeting of the Board was held on Friday, November 15, in the Selectmen's Room, Town Offices, at 3.15 P.M., with Chairman McQuillan, Dr. Cosgrove, Mr. Cole, and Mr. Lurve y present. The budget for 1958 must be ready for the Selectmen on December 1, so the Board went over each item, discussing how much has been spent so far this year, what might be needed during the next year, and pared or increased items as required. With some allotments seemingly too generous, and others not quite enough, the budget was changed accordingly. Some $3,500 was cut, and the only item not settled was for personal services. Mr. McQuillan will check with the Chairman of the Board of Selectmen on this. At 3.30 P.M. Mr. Kraynick, consulting engineer from Whitman & Howard, reported on the sewage question at the Carriage House Res- taurant, 271 Lincoln Street, where a larger field is needed than -originally planned. The question of being able to connect to the sewer on a State Road has come into the problem. Mr. O'Connor, the owner, had paid the betterment this very afternoon on the prop- erty. Mr. Kraynick also talked with the Board about the Harbell Street installations which have been under discussion during the past month. Mr. Harvey, a neighbor, wants the Board of Health to stick to the rule of not less than 20 feet from the house for sewage installation. The Board checked on the regulations, and established that with cesspools 20 feet from the dwelling must always be the rule, but with septic tanks, sometimes it is for the best working of the system if it is not just 20 feet from the dwelling. It was agreed that a letter should be sent to Mr. Harvey stating that the matter was taken up thoroughly at the Board meeting, and the Board feels that the system proposed will satisfactorily handle the job. There is no law that will allow the Board to say a builder cannot build on land that has been found suitable. A letter sent by the Health Officer to Mr. Potter was read to Piggeriesthe Board. Minutes of the special meeting held on November 6 with the residents of the area around the piggery and Mr. Potter were given to the Board. A letter sent to the Carroll Brothers, owners of another piggery at 31 Allen Street, asking for cooperation in correcting the unsanitary conditions of the piggery was read. Permits Three animal permit applications were recommended for approval by the Health Officer: Mr. John Carrier, 91 Burlington Street, 1 1
