Mr. Outerbridge, earlier this week, left at the Health Office three copies of a detailed report (one for ,each member of the Board) with plot plans and photographs showing the problems involved in connecting this house to the public sewer which is within the 8 GOODWIN given distance as stated in the Board of Health Regulations. ROAD The Board studied these reports to some extent before Mr. Outer- bridge arrived at 8:00 P.M. • Mr. McQuillan explained to Mr. Outerbridge that the concern of the Board of Health was the prevention and correction of any problems relative_ to the health of the community, neighborhood or individual involved, Dr. Cosgrove stated many tunes over the years the Board has come up against problems such as this, many of them requiring court action, and although it has been an inconvenience to all concerned the menace of overflowing sewage and the odors caused from such a condition must be corrected in a manner satisfactory to the Board of Health.
