IMO Tower Rd, Construction. Mr. Ross wondered if they could build a manhole with a trap at the end of it, that is, put in the 24 inch pipe with a trap. Mr. Cosgrove recommended that the drain be run down to Maple Street and let it overflow there. The Chairman statdd that on the construction of the additional 75 feet, Tower Road, the Bank would be satisfied with any arrangement as it had to assume the betterment anyway. Mr. Cosgrove suggested that R. H. Stevens be paid direct. He said that if the Town constructed the 75 feet, that the money would have to come out of Highway Maintenance and the money paid would go into the Excess and Deficiency Account The Chairman felt that the cost would be only approximate if Stevens were paid direct. Mr. Stevens felt that he would rather see someone else in the deal than himself. The bill for the asphalt will be about $800.00. Cosgrove suggested that the,cost of the improvement be figured and the price per foot charged for the additional 75 feet, then when the bill for the asphalt was received, Cosgrovets check and the Bank's check could be put toward the asphalt bill. The Chairman told him that the different methods of working the matter out would be discussed and he retired. The Chairman stated that the following were ways to handle the matter. He thought it would be beat to have the Town do the work. The cost might be taken from Highway -Maintenance and billed on a foot basis. Secondly, the Appropriation Committee might be asked to set aside the amount of money needed and then have the Bank and Cosgrove pay cash; third.. Stevens could be paid direct; and fourth, Cosgrove's and the Bank's checks might be paid on the asp halt bill. The Chairman stated that he would prefer to ask the Appropriation Committee for a transfer. Mr. Ross moved that the Appropriation Committee be requested to transfer an amount not exceeding $445.00 to be used as ned ded for the construction of the 75 feet in Tower Road which was not included in the original estimate nor approved by the Town Meeting Members, and that one-half of the additional cost be paid by John T. Cosgrove and the other half by the Bank, this money to be paid in cash in advance of construction. Mr. Potter seconded the motion and it was so voted. Mr. Trask reported that he had received a telegram Lincoln from Edith Nourse Rogers, stating that the Lincoln Street Street Drainage project was under consideration and was being expedited. Mr. Giroux moved that Mr. Sarano be advised of this fact. Mr. Ross seconded the motion and it was so voted. W.P.A.
