73 BOARD 0.F HEALTH MEETING July 12, 1965 The regular meeting of the Board of Health was held Monday July 12, 1965 at 7:00 P.M. in the Health Department Office. Mem- bers present were: R.L. McQuillan, Chairman, Dr. William Cosgrove and Director of Public Health, James F. Finneran. Minutes of the June 14, 1965 meeting were approved as read. The Board discussed the letter from the Attorney General B.L.Cumming in reply to a request by the Board for an investigation into CASE the restraining orders issued by the Superior Court against the Board of Health, Milk Inspector and Town Officials in the B.L. Cummings, Inc. Case. The Attorney General stated that the appropriate action would be for the Town Counsel to take the necessary legal action to petition for dissolution of the restraining order. After further discussion of this case, the Board agreed that there was nothing more they could do as long as the Town Counsel and the Board of Selectmen would not cooperate with the Board in taking the legal steps to dissolve this restraining order. It was agreed, however, that a letter be written to Mr. Legro asking for a copy of the restraining order against the Board and Town Officials. Mr. Finneran reported to the Board that he had requested CARROLL'S Mr. Charles Carroll of Carroll+s Farm to come in and discuss PIGGERY the violations involved in the operating of the Piggery. He went on to state that on July 13, 1964, the Board had agreed to extend Mr. Carroll's Permit to operate a piggery for 6 months, during which time Mr. Carroll was to dispose of the pigs on hand. At that time there were about 125 pigs. In Jan- uary and February when he checked the Farm the Carroll's were reducing the number of pigs. In March they told Mr. Finneran they were just bringing the remaining pigs up to weight for selling. Mr. Finneran said he told Mr. Carroll then that by June 1st, 1965, all the pigs must be gone. When he checked back the first week of June there were suckling pigs in the yard. He told Mr. Carroll at that time that they were oper- ating without a permit and were in violation of the Board of Health's Rules and Regulations. Mr. Finneran said he checked the Farm in April and the number of pigs were down to about twenty. The Board discussed this matter and agreed that further action was necessary.
