A change in wording was corrected in the Board Notes of the November 8, 1982 meeting.

CATALDO Mr. Smith told the Board that Mr. Cataldo has written a request to continue RECLAMATION land reclamation program for another year.

IRE They have restored the laundry room and there are no further problems at this time. WILD ACRE INN There is nothing new to report at this time. Dr. Roemer went out with Mr. Smith to inspect the Inn before the Selectmen's Meeting. They have fixed the place all up. REQUEST TO KEEP ROOSTERS SPRING ST. The Board of Selectmen gave the Wild Acre Inn a temporary permit and has asked the Human Services Coordinator to check it out from the Human Services aspect. Mr. Smith told the Board he had received a request from a resident to keep roosters on their property. Mr. Smith has sent the request to the Board of Selectmen to see if they want to grant a variance as they do not allow roosters according to their by-laws. Mr. Warren Fox came into office and said he wanted to build three houses on his property on Spring Street and wants to put in three septic systems for these houses. Mr. Smith looked at the property and feels he should connect these houses to sewer because he does not think that three septic systems would fit in there. At 7:30 p.m. Mr. David Henley of East Middlesex Mosquito Control came into the Board Meeting. He came to discuss "encephalitis" and the dangers of Mos- quitoes that can carry it. He discussed briefly the specific cases that appeared in Bedford and Dover and how they had trapped mosquitoes and had found a positive virus in them. Mr. Henley does not know too much about Lixington at this time because mosquito control had been voted out at Town Meeting so he has never worked in this Town.
