410 <br />Mileage <br />allowance <br />for Mr. <br />Kearns. <br />SELECTMENIS MEETING <br />APRIL 27, 1937 <br />A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was <br />held at the Selectmen's Room, Town Office Building, <br />at 7;30 P.M. Chairman Ferguson, Messrs. Potter, Giroux,. <br />Clark and Ross were present. The Clerk was also present. <br />Mr. Raymond appeared before the Board and said <br />that it would be necessary to find some means of trans- <br />portation for Mr. Kearns of the Engineering Department <br />who is working outside alone. For the time being Mr. <br />Raymond told Mr. Costrove that Mr. Kearns would be <br />allowed five cents a mile until the Board could do <br />something about it. Mr. Raymond thought that Kearns' <br />mileage might average ten miles a day. At the present <br />time he is working on a study of Bow Street sewerage <br />conditions. The Chairman said that if the man was on <br />one job all day perhaps he could use the bus. Mr. Ray- <br />mond said that he had to go back and forth between the <br />office and the job and with the construction work going <br />on as it is now, it would not be practicable to trans- <br />port him back and forth in the beach wagon. <br />Mr. Potter moved that Mr. Kearns be allowed five <br />cents per mile for the use of his car. Mr. Clark <br />seconded the motion and it was so voted. <br />Water Mr. Raymond said that there were six water services <br />services which had been laid with galvanized pipe in that part <br />in Reed St. of Reed Street which is to be constructed which ought <br />to be replaced before the street is built. He estimated <br />that this would cost about $150.00. Mr. Clark moved <br />that the work be approved. Mr. Potter seconded the <br />motion and it was so voted. <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />Mr. Raymond said that Mr. Ross wished to discuss <br />the matter of requiring contractors to furnish a bond <br />Bond when <br />when opening up streets or sidewalks. The Chairman <br />streets are <br />said that most cities and towns required this. Mr. <br />opened up. <br />Ross said that in Arlington a bond had to be filed <br />whenever a street was opened up. He said that he had <br />in mind liability if an accident should occur when a <br />street or sidewalk was opened or obstructed. The <br />Chairman said that he thought it would be a good idea <br />to take up the matter with the Town Counsel and he <br />requested Mr. Raymond to do this. <br />Mr. Raymond said that they were using Dalrymple's <br />Horses on <br />horses on the Mill Brook Project but finally it got' -so <br />Mill Brook <br />that there was no one on the W.P.A. who could handle <br />Project <br />horses, so Dalrymple took them off the job.
