Harper Blaisdell Logan Clarke Jr Robert H. Kingston Frank T. Parrisi Jr. Richard H. Battin John R. Bevan Oscar R. Carlson Raymond L. White, Secretary Ralph B. Fifield telephoned the Secretary that he would be out of Town on business, so could not attend this meeting. The Fall Association meeting will be sometime in November. To date no notice has been sent out. Letter from Board of Selectmen was read requesting a transfer of $150 from the Reserve Fund to Veterans'Day account. No explanation why $150 more was requested, also should be in previous budget, also no emergeny, so this Committee voted against this request. John J. Carroll, Superintendent of Public Works, entered our meeting at 8:55 P.M. The first item asked John was on garbage and garbage contract. John said the Town has got to pay $60,000 anyway for collection. Hard to get a contractor for less than$60,000 as it is difficult to get employees to collect garbage. Also John said he was going to ask for two collections a week in thw summer time. Also on all new homes they should be required to install garbage disposals. John said it costs Arlington $ 2.30 per capita for garbage collections, Wellesley $1.77. John spoke on the T. V. Program, which is the T. V. inspection and sealing of our sewer mains. Also on trunk sewers for 1964, as contained in Capital Expenditures recommendation on page 12 of their report, such as: Maple Street to Woburn Street sewer there is trouble Justin Street sewer Burnham Farm area sewers Hill Street Area 5,000 feet of water mains John stated the sewer laterals figure should be increased to $500,000. The question was asked whether the Town had ever thoughtof a sewer use charge? , John Carroll was asked about the sewer laterals being heldup where sewer trunk lines are in. Why start another trunk sewer line when the present trunk sewer line is not complete with the sewer laterals, John Carroll suggested to appropriate double the amount for laterals, instead of another trunk sewer. Woodhaven section alone would cost $250,000 for sewer laterals. John Carroll stated he is going to ask for more men in the Public Works department. John Carroll left our meeting at 10: 10 P. M. Lincoln Cole, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen entered our meeting
