The Planning Board recommended that Members. the necessary steps be taken so that the map might be prepared as a W.P.A. project. They suggested a 10 by 12 foot map, probably on heavy drawing paper, mounted on a suitable framework to permit being permanently hung above the stage and lowered for use as needed. They thought the materials would cost around $20.00 and that about three weeks labor for one man would be required. Mr. Ross moved that the Supt. of Public Works be instructed to prepare such a project and to submit it to the W.P.A. authorities for approval. Mr. Potter seconded the motion and it was so voted. Mr. Ross stated that the Town of Arlington would like tohave the Town of Lexington responsible for the billing of water rates to the three houses on Lowell Stbeet in Lexington which are being supplied water by Water bills the Town of Arlington.. Arlington has had trouble to houses collecting the rates and cannot place a lien on the on Lowell properties because they are in Lexington. He stated Street. that when he was, Supt. of the Water Dept., Mr. Trask and he agreed that Lexington should be responsible. He stated that at that time, Mr. Geary of the Arlington Water Department came to him and he told him that Lexington would take over the accounts. The Chairman stated that the reason the Selectmen did not feel that they should assume the responsibility of the billing was that the service to the first house was in Arlington and the other houses were supplied through a private pipe across private property. There is some doubt as to whether or not Lexington could place a lien on the properties inasmuch as they were not supplying the water. The Board a a in felt that it did not care to assume the responsibility of the billing. 1
