BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING January 19, 1959 The Board of Health met'in the Selectmen's Room at 3 p.M. on Friday, January 19, 1959, with Chairman McQuillan, Dr. Cos- grove, Mr. Cole, and Mr. Lurvey present. A report from Whitman & Howard concerning Colonial Acres, Inc., was discussed. Because Mr. Cole did not agree with some of the elevations given, it was decided a meeting with Mr. Kray - nick, the engineer for Whitman & Howard, Mr. Cole, and Mr. Lurvey, would be arranged to go over this matter before approval is sent to the Planning Board. Lots 148, 149 and 150 Tarbell Avenue were turned down by the Whitman & Howard engineer, Mr. Kraynick. Mr. Cole and Mr. Lurvey checked, and decided the bed should be re -located, and another test made. The Board agreed that further investigation must be made by the Board before approval. Mr. Joseph Carroll met with the Board as requested by the Health Officer to discuss the appalling condition of the piggery at 31 Allen Street. Mr. McQuillan informed Mr. Carroll that he made a visit to the farm with the Health Officer, as did Mr. Cole, and they think it is the dirtiestplace in Lexington. It must conform with the rules and regulations of the Board of Health or the license will be revoked. Mr. Lurvey was asked to state the violations he found, which included whitewashing all buildings at least twice a year, keeping all swill in covered receptacles, feeding swine from platforms, cleaning up generally. If all these things are done, Mr. Lurvey says he can recommend a license. Mr. Carroll agreed to do all these things between now and the April meeting of the Board.
