349 BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING November 21, 1958 The November meeting of the Board of Health was held on Friday, November 21, 1958 at 3 P.M. Chairman McQuillan and Mr. Lurvey were present. Mr. H. J. Comrie, owner of the Village Variety Store at 93 Massachusetts Avenue, met with the Board at 3.15 P.M. at Mr. Village Lurvey's request. His store has not been kept up to par lately, Variety; and things that Mr. Lurvey has asked to have done have not been Store done. Mr. Comrie agreed things have been getting ahead of him. He explained he has been shorthanded for some time because of his wife's illnesses. He has now arranged for a nephew to help with washing and painting walls, etc., and will do the floors himself. Mr. Comrie spoke of a defect in the building that causes the bad condition of the walls in the toilet room. Mr. McQuillan asked the Health Officer to write to the landlor, Mr. Frank E. Viano, to have this unsanitary condition corrected. In connection with the rubbish found outside the store, Mr. Comrie said a lot of it is caused by the customers and loiterers at the Newport Restaurant next door. The wind carries it over against his store. Mr. McQuillan suggested writing to the owner of the restaurant asking for his cooperation. Mr. William Potter met with the Board at 3.50 P.M. to dis- Potters cuss an open dump which is being used at the Piggery. Mr. Potter Piggsal says it has been their usual practice for 40 years. The sloppy waste material cannot be trucked to Burlington with the other material as it would leak along the way. Mr. Lurvey suggested that under Article IV, Section 6, in the Board of Health regu- lations, a permit to maintain a dump under certain restrictions might be given to Mr. Potter. This would cover the dump, and there would be no violation if maintained properly. Mr. Lurvey remarked that the piggery looked fine, and he feels the Potters are sincere in keeping it clean. It would be quite a hardship not to dump any material there. Mr. Potter agreed to send in a written application for a permit to use land as a private dump for disposal of waste material. Mr. McQuillan agreed that upon receipt of Mr. Potter's application a permit would be granted. Mr. Lurvey asked the Board's approval of an order to be sent to the new owners of 22 Pine Knoll Road in the case of an overflowing cesspool ordering them to correct the nuisance. Mr. Benjamin Fogler, Jr., 20 Meriam Street, was given until November 10, 1958 to correct the nuisance of an overflowing cesspool. To date the Public Works Department has not received payment so that the connection to the public sewer can be made. The case is now in the hands of Mr. Stevens, Town Counsel. Mr. Alfred Tropeano has sent in the requested evidence for approval by the Board of Health of Vine Brook Realty Trust Subdivision. The Board has granted approval based on the information received from the developer's engineer, and the approval of our consulting engineer from Whitman & Howard. 2CP2 Rine Knoll OFCP 20 Meriam St Vine Brk.
