A hearing was declared open upon petition of the New Eng- land Telephone & Telegraph Co. for location of one pole on Watertown Street, extending present line toward Bowman Street. No persona appeared to object and the Board therefor granted permission to erect the pole. It was voted to grant a Common Victuallers License to Hiram H. Whites to keep open the "Lunch Cart" at rear of #,445 Mass. Avenue. A letter was written to Chief Edward W. Taylor of the Fire Department in which was enclosed a copy of Agreement which was drawn up by the Town counsel for use of the Fire De- partment. This Agreement should be used to protect the town against a similar occurrence of a case such as the Chisholm case and the Chief was requested to have the Contract executed when employing outside labor. Mr. F. 'd. biller and fir. Frank Locke came before the Board with reference to the condition existing in the rear of their houses on Winthrop Road, and asking that something be done to remedy the conditions at once. The TownEngineer made an investigation and found that the pipe system which was laid in that section to take care of the drainage was stopped up. The question as to what department was responsible for keeping this drain clear was determined by the Town Counsel, he being of the opinion that it was the duty of the Water & Sewer Department to keep all brooks clear. A meeting was arranged for 'Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock at which the Mater & Sewer Board. the Board of Health, Town Engineer and Selectmen conferred as to the eoluation of remedy- ing conditions immediately. The Selectmen decided to 'draw a Warrant for a Town Meeting on Monday. the 25th of July, the town meeting to be held on August 4. 1921. Articles covering the claim of Mary Chisholm as a result of the death of her husband, were drawn up by the Town Counsel to be inserted in the Warrant. It was voted to grant John Rose a license to maintain the garage upon which a hearing was held last week provided the ' Fire Marshall approved of the same. A copy of the letter Rent to Mr. Rose was sent to the Chief of the Fire Department;. The janitor was notified to give notice to the Clerk of the Board when the Town hall is let so that the Board may be posted in this matter.
