Ferguson, Gilcreast, Lyons, and Potter were present. The Clerk was also present. Mr. Roland Greeley, representing the Planning Board, appeared before the Board in regard to making an ERA project of a parking survey in the center of the Town. He stated that the purpose of the project was to obtain conclusive data as to whether there is a parking problem in Lexington center, and to obtain necessary survey in case such a problem presents itself to be solved. Mr. Greeley presented a suggested time sheet for the survey, and stated that the Planning Board thought that if two ERA men were m- ployed twenty-four hours a week that they could do the work satisfactorily in one week. It was duly moved and seconded that the matter be turned over to the Local ERA administrattor. Mr. Carl Hauck appeared before the Board in regard to a letter which he had received from the Town Counsel on his outstanding water guaranty account in the amount of $585.45. Mr. Hauck had talked with Mr. Wrightington, who suggested that he appear before the Board. Dir. Hauck fully acknowledged responsibility for the debt, and stated that he intended to pay the bill when he was financially able to, but that he could not do so at the present time. He has not earned any money for the past two years, and feels that he will soon have to ask the Town for aid. Mr. Hauck paid the.first three years' guaranty, but did not pay any more inasmuch as he thought it unfair for him to pay it when the other guarantors were not doing so. Mr. Hauck had talked with Mr. Scamman before the water main extension was made, and Mr. Scamman informed him that the charge would be made on an average cost per foot for the year basis, or in other words, that the charge for the water guaranty would be on practically the,same basis as a sewer assessment charge. He stated that he had called at the Water Dept. office about every year in regard to the matter, and that Mr. Ross agreed with him in regard to the unfairness of his paying the bill when the other guarantors were not. The Board advised Mr. Hauck to advise the Board in writing just how he felt in regard to the matter, and that action would be taken upon receipt of the letter. Letter was received froze Louise M. Hannaford in Hannaford which she stated that she had received a letter from the water Town Counsel on her outstanding water guaranty amounting guaranty. to $22.44. She requested that she be granted an extension of time until July 1st in which to pay the bill, and the Board voted to grant her request. n
