Chairman McQuillan, Dr. Cosgrove, Mr. Cole, and Mr. Lurvey <br />were present. <br />Mr. Lavell of the Bay State Tallow Company met with the Board to <br />discuss the subject of Lexington regulations pertaining to the trans- <br />porting of rendering material in Lexington. His trucks have been <br />observed without the propercanvas covering in use, and Mr. Lavell <br />wished to explain. The Board stated our regulations are estab- <br />lished for the good of all concerned, and must be complied with. <br />The annual reports for 1957 as submitted to the Board of Selectmen <br />were discussed. It was suggested that another year the number of <br />complaints and nuisances received and investigated by the Health <br />Department might be added to the reports. The Board is quite rroud <br />of the fact that the appropriation asked for in 1958 is less than <br />that requested in 1957. <br />The Health Officer's report for the month was discussed covering <br />complaints, nuisances, lots, septic tank and cesspool inspections, <br />milk samplesaanalyzed, food establishments inspected, etc. <br />Mr. Cole stated that hereafter he would like to give his decisions <br />on problem lots and installations for sewage disposal to Mr. Lurvey <br />directly. In some cases the men who have met with Mr. Cole on <br />problems have not followed his suggestions, so in the future <br />Mr. Cole will contact Mr. Lurvey, who will, in turn, give the <br />decisions to the people involved. <br />Two Child Care Licenses were signed after aprroval; Unitarian <br />Cooperative Nursery School and Miss Lothrop's Kindergarten. <br />A letter was read from Mr. Austin Fisher, Chairman of the Lex- <br />Jr.High ington School Building Committee, acknowledging the Board's letter <br />Remktelirg o thecommitteetelling of the meeting with Mr. Erickson, the archi- <br />tect connected with the remodelling plans for the Junior High School. <br />Mr. Fisherassures the Board that the School Committee is also aware <br />of the problem involving the Junior High kitchen, and they will <br />insist that proper conditions are attained. <br />Hos'pUtal Dr. Cosgrove reported that the Hospital Committee at its last <br />Committee meeting recommended that a tract of land be obtained now and ear- <br />marked for a future hospital for Lexington, perhaps when the 4.0,000 <br />or 50,000 mark is reached for population. <br />The meeting adjourned at 4.45 P.M.
