Finneran, Director <br />of Public Health. <br />Cal <br />ohm <br />1 <br />Minutes of the November 7, 1966 meeting were approved as read <br />62 VALLEY Mrs. Frank McLatchy, 62 Valley Road, and Mr. Massuco owner <br />ROAD of the residence requested• to attend the meeting tosee if the <br />Board of Health could aid them in anyway to eliminate a large <br />puddle of water on Valley Road. <br />Mrs. McLatchy explained to the Board that Valley Road runs <br />from Bedford Street to Route 128. One section of the street has <br />been paved and accepted by the Town, but the area she is referring <br />to is the further end of the street and is unaccepted. Mrs. <br />McLatchy explained that there is a large hole or a part of the <br />street that is very low and this area is full of water most of <br />the time. She either has to drive her children to school or <br />they must wear boots. Mrs. McLatchy thought that this could <br />possible be considered a health hazard because of the standing <br />water which not only is a hazard to her children, (having wet <br />feet most of the time) but also breeds mosquitos but could also <br />breed disease. <br />Mr. McQuillan: "You said this was an unaccepted street, and <br />if that is the case there is not a thing the Board can do." He <br />went on to explain to Mrs. McLatchy that he himself lived on an <br />unaccepted street and has been told many times that there was <br />nothing the - Town could do. <br />Mr. West: "We have no authority to demand anything be done <br />on an unaccepted street." <br />Mr. McQuillan: "Have you thought of having the street <br />accepted?" <br />Mr. Massuco: "My sister and I applied before but we could not <br />get the other people on the Street to go along with us." <br />Mrs. McLatchy: "We hired a bulldozer to come in this <br />summer to fill in the area but the people next door stopped us. <br />They are afraid of people speeding on the street." <br />Mr. McQuillan: "Do they have children?" <br />Mrs. McLatchy: "No, no children, but they seem to think <br />people will speed on the street if it is fixed." <br />1 <br />
