' was being left in and would be brought up for discussion at.the Town Meeting. Mr. Lindstrom made the following recommendations alsol Section 23. To read: Fully automatic pressure and tem- perature relief valve shall be placed directly into the side of the tank with a tapping provided for this purpose, not over 6 inches down frbm the top of the tank. On tanks having heavy insulation where it is impossible to install .the relief valve directly into the tank a valve having an extended thermostat must be used. Section 29. No septic tank ahall be placed nearer than 15 feet to the outside foundation wall of any building, nor within five feet of any street, passageway or adjoining lot line and not less than 14 inches nor more than 24 inches below the ground surface or grade to the top of septic tank. Mr. Saran moved that the recommendations be adopted. Mr. Potter seconded the motion, and it was so voted. Mr. Lindstrom retired. Mr. Raymond said that the best estimate they could make now was that they would run about $600. over on the Stetson Street water main job, if they proceed to patch the pavement. He would not recommend stopping the job at the hydrant because there are two connections between the hydrant and Merriam Street and because a new house was ' being built. He would prefer to let the patching go and do It next year or ask for a transfer of money to do it. He requested approval of carrying through as originally planned. Mr. Rowse -asked if it might not be dangerous to have the wash going down onto Merriam Street, and Mr. Raymond said it would be necessary to put in a temporary patch. Mr. Rowse asked what would happen if they stopped at the hydrant, .and Mr. Raymond said that the new house would have to be connected with the old main and the pressure would be very poor. Mr. Sarano moved that the job be carried through as originally planned. Mr. Locke seconded the motion and it was so voted. Mr. Raymond said that there were a number of insurance policies expiring July 9th, 10th and 11th, as follows: Mary W. Ferguson, $15,000; J. 0. Richards, $11,000; Robert S. Sturtevant, $5,000; George W. Taylor & Son, $35,000; Robert Whitney, $44,300. Mr. Raymond said th at.he had a letter from one Charles O'Donnell of 1 Carley Road, re- questing that the Ferguson policy be placed with him. Mr. O?Donnell said that he had been a residdnt and taxpayer in Lexington for four years. Mr. Saran moved that the Ferguson policy be placed with Wm. H. Ballard through a stock company,• the J. 0. ' Richards policy through Louis J. Reynolds, through a stock company; the Robert Sturtevant.policy with. Louis J. Reynolds through's. stock compahy; the George W.
