3 �j `�� First r109 agents license was granted to the Master Service Station Inc. Rear 1709 Mass. Avenue. Mr. Arthur Folger of 26 Tucker Avenue came before the Board together with Mr. P. J. Neary. Mr. Folger stated that he owns property on Tucker Avenue, lots 417 and 418, and that the Highway 'dept. had filled gravel in in front of his premises 26 inches from the top of the ground to his land. This is beyond the point where the street was accepted. He stated that he had ordered coal delivered to him and the Coal Co. would not deliver it inasnrach as they could not get into his driveway. It did not happen that - he was so much in need of coal but that he could get along without -it. He stated that .this gravel that was put in caused a pool of water which has flooded his cellar. Mr. Scamman informed h.m that when they finished the job it will be in good condition. Mr. Folger stated that instead of keeping the water out of his premises, the gravel has caused a pond and !`;e wanted something done about his driveway. He felt that if the Board went down there end took the gravel away that would not tare away the damage that it has already caused. He stfited that the filling was done for about 35 feet, w:,rich was more t' an one half of his lot and that you could not drive an automobile down there. He stated that while the street was being .fixed-, all the trucks carrying material came up Aarville Avenue and nut the street in very bad condition. He also called attention to a drain in Tucker Avenue that had.fallen in. He felt that the easiest way to repair the condition was to fill in his driveway and fill in the rest of the way which would be about 25 feet more. The Board agreed to Cro down and look at,the situation before the next meeting. Mr. Barcelona of the Modern Construction Co, came before the Board end requested that he be given an opportunity to do some of the Town's construction work this year. He had with him Mr. Palladina, and he stated that he had done construction work for a great many years and had built roads in Shrewsbury and Gardner. The Chairman informed him that the Town has done all its own construction work .for several years and that no contract had been let out for outside work. Mr. Gilcreast called the Supt. of Public Work's attention to the fact that Mr. Haynes of Hill Street desired to have some fill put in on his premises; that he would be willing to spread it himself to keep the drainage off his land. The Supt. was requested to dump in two loads of gravel to remedy the condition. The Chairman cAlled attention to the fact that Mr. McCormack employed on the Water Dept., requested that he be paid at the rate that he received last year for his vacation taken for the year 1931.
