1 1 Mr. Raymond said that the Town was not going to get anywhere and was getting behind every year by approp- riating money from the tax levy only for drainage work. He said that he could not see how the Town was ever going to catch up on drainage without borrowing money for it. He said that there:was:-a bad situation on Mass. Avenue, another at Raymond and Muzzey Streets and several others in various parts of the Town. The Chairman said that the whole difficulty was that we had the sewerage problem, the Fire housing problem and the drainage problem and the question was what the most important one was. He said that he thought Vine Brook Drainage was the most important problem at this time. Mr. Raymond said that it would not be necessary to appropriate money for Vine Brook Drainage if money for some sewer and drainage projects was appropriated. Old Aae Assistance. Mr. Giroux stated that Tax Commissioner Long thought that the towns would get some money back on Old Age Assistance, and Mr. Russell thought that $2500. could be out from this appropriation and still leave anough money. Mr. Giroux moved that the appropriation for Old Age Assistance be set at $12,500.00 rather than $15,000.00. Mr. Ross seconded the motion and it was so voted. 297 Drainage Old Age Assistance Aid to Dependent Children Aid to Mr. Giroux moved that the appropriation for aid to Dependent dependent children be reduced from $7000. to $5000. Mr. Children: Ross seconded the motion and it was so voted. Hip:hwa.y Maintenance. Mr. Raymond said that he was willing to take $1680. out of the 01920. approved for Oakland Street. Mr. Ray- mond said that if it was decided that the water in East Street could be taken care of with filter catch basins, he would be willing to reduce that appropriation from $2425. to $480.00. Mr. Raymond said that he would be willing to omit -the Larchmont Lane appropriation of $242. Mr. Raymond said that he would be willing to reduce the Audubon Road appropriation from $600. to $105.00. Mr. Raymond said that he thought it would be just as well not to do the highway work on Mass. Avenue from Parker Street to Clark Street as he believed that next year the Town would have to put drainage in this section. This would make a saving of $1512.00. Mr. Raymond said that he would be willing to cut the Lowell Street appropriation by $702.00. Mr. Raymond said that he would be willing to cut the ap ropriation for Grant, Sherman and Sheridan Streets from 552. to $64.00.
