Ross appeared before the Board and said <br />that he was doing so at the request of Edith Millard of <br />North Street. The Town extended a water main in North <br />Street in 1932 and P,Iiss Willard was one of the guarantors. <br />The extension was made at a time when a great deal of work <br />was being done and the cement lined pipe which was used <br />was "green". As a result, Miss Willard's being at the <br />end of the line caused her a great deal of trouble throuh <br />sediment and bad taste and odor. It was necessary for h r <br />to have considerable plumbing work done and also it was <br />necessary for her to bleed the pipe in order to use the <br />water at all. Because water which was run off was meter' -d, <br />of course Miss Willard's bill for rates was excessive. <br />However, she paid the bill and for that year, the rates <br />exceeded the interest on the guaranty. Piss Willard <br />understood at the time that it would not be necessary for <br />her topay any more water guarantees. However, she has <br />been receiving the bills and does not feel that she shoud <br />be made to pay anything more because of all the trouble <br />and inconvenience she was caused. <br />It was decided to hold the matter over for one week. <br />PM <br />LoEn <br />Willard <br />water <br />guaranty <br />
