Members present were: Dr. Wm. L. Cosgrove, Chairman; Mr. James W. Lambie, Dr. Charles E. Ellicott and Mr. George A. Smith, Director of Public Health. The minutes of the October 17, 1974 meeting were approved as read. Mr. Smith reported that a hearing was to be held Thursday on proposed regulations for Lead Poisoning Prevention and Control at the State Laboratory, South Street, Jamaica Plain. According to the proposed regulations the whole lead paint prevention program is getting very complicated but he felt that lead paint poisoning did not seem to be a problem in Lexington. Lead paint poisoning has now become a reportable disease and probably we should send a letter to all the doctors stating that this should be reported directly to the State. Dr. Ellicott asked if a large scale screening program was carried out if Dr. Kline was equipped to handle all the samples. e35 LEAD PAINT POISONING PREVENTION Mr. Smith said he did not think so and actually they were interested in cheldren of ages 0 to 6 years. He went on to explain that the new laws will put the program of diagnosis on to the local Health Department and as the proposed regulation now reads the local department would be policing the residential homes. The Board discussed this lead paint program and decided to wait until after the hearing on November 7, 1974 before taking any positive action. Mr. Smith reported that the septic system servicing Burroughs Corporation was overflowing and Burroughs Corporation do not own this building. The An- nuity Board of the Southern Baptist Convention of Dallas own the building, therefore, they will have to be notified of the problem. He went on to say that according to the engineers it is possible to connect this building to public sewer but an easement will have to be obtained from Cabot, Cabot and Forbes or Kennicott Copper Corp. The Kennicott Copper easement will in- volve permits from the State. SEPTIC SYSTEM BURROUGHS CORP. At the present time the condition was under control but he felt the system would not hold up too long and therefore should, if possible, be connected to public sewer because there was no room for expansion of the present system. The Board instructed Mx. Smith to proceed along the ususal channels to get this system connected to public sewer if possible. Mr. Smith reported to the Board that the septic system at 27 York street 27 YORK ST.
