74 a spring in the cellar of the overflow away from the the cellar of one of the into the field onuosite. ..r this house now olrfrned by Damon. He €tarried ;spring through a pipe which passed through other houses and thence under the street The present trouble is that Damon claims that Stack has closed this drain which Stack denies. I did not see 2dr. Damon but I explained to tirs. Damon that,. unless there was an agreement in writing to the contrary, I thought Lr. Stack had a right to close this drain if he wished to and that they could have to find some other way to carry the taste water from the spring, that they had no claim .1-gainst 1dr. Stick that he . s not cuasing any ter to enter their premises, but that they i,. -ere perhaps giving Mlr. Stack reg.:on for complaint by dumping viater onto his property. I cannot see that the Board of health can force LT -r. Stack to allow this i -;erste water to go through his property although this land is the lowest. I believe he can make Damon get rid of the waste rater in some other ,ay." The Board decided to send the County Commissioners a copy of the report of.the Supt. of Public Rorks, and inform them that the Town is installing a water main in Grant Street and Cdr. Damon can nonuect with the same, and do away with the spring in the cellar. Letter was received from the rlanning Board relative to the application of Dr. W'. L.

The Planning Board feel that they must object to a filling station being located ::here suggested, and inasmuch as the property is in the business section they feel that stores'will be less objectionable. They do not believe that stores would impair the approach to the Memorial Building. It was decided to have a letter drafted so that a reply could be made to Thomas S. Vahey, Attorney for Dr. Barnes. In regard to the application of Grace M. Smith of Bedford Street for an entertainment license in connection 'with the common victuallers license, it is decided to call a hearing of the neighbors to see if any objection would be offered to Mrs. Smith having a license. It was left with the Supt, of Public L-,Vorks to decide ? ho should be notified of the hearing. dotice v; s received from the Mass. Highway Commission informing the Board that the allotment of X3,000. v^gas made for work on Concord Avenue, but that they did not approve of the allotment for the con- struction -of Massachusetts Lvenue. Complaint izras received from H. B. Barnes, Vifollaston avenue, 1.rlington heights, on the condition of Bo=,,,man Street. The Supt. of Public YVorks was requested to ms.ke repairs to this street. r.
