12 <br />of a clerk from one department to another. The Appropriation <br />Committee also recommended that a survey be made of the <br />office records detail to see whether or not non-essential <br />work was being carried on. Mr. Raymond said -he had made a <br />study of the matter and knew of no department which could do <br />without its clerk for any extended length of time. The <br />Town Engineer talked with him on the matter and agreed tol. <br />have his clerical work done by one of the girls in the Water <br />Department during business hours. Mr. Rowse moved that the <br />department heads be instructed to consult with the Supt. of <br />Public Works when temporary clerical help is needed. Mr. <br />Sarano seconded the motion and it was so voted. <br />Mr. Raymond said he had checked the matter of office <br />records detail and found that the records being kept were <br />essential and that in most cases, the superintendents <br />desired more detailed records but their clerks did not have <br />time to keep them. He did not feel that the offices were <br />over -staffed. <br />The Clerk was instructed to ask the Appropriation ' <br />Committee if they had any suggestions on the subject. <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />Letter was received from Mrs. William Kenney who wrote <br />(Drainage- <br />in behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Guy Franceschelli and Mr. and Mrs. <br />Guy Appollonio. Mrs. Kenney wanted to know if the brook <br />Frances- <br />which runs through her parent's property was going to be <br />ehelli <br />cleaned before time for spring planting. She said that they <br />land. <br />were promised that the brook would be cleaned out before <br />spring of 1940. <br />4 <br />Mr. Raymond said that the project for the drainage <br />of the South Branch area of Vine Brook was submitted to the <br />W.P.A. and disapproved because the Town had not completed <br />the Vine Brook P.W.A. project. He planned to re -submit <br />the project at an early date and believed it would be <br />approved this year. He said it was not much of a chore <br />to send a gang of men to clean the brook where it runs <br />through the Franceschelli land and he thought this should <br />be done if the W.P.A. project was not started in time. <br />Mr. Rowse moved that the 1Y.P.A. project be re -submitted. <br />Mr. Potter seconded the motion and it was so voted. <br />Street <br />Mr. Raymond said as far as he could find out, there was <br />lights, <br />no agreements with the Lexington Trust Co. relative to street <br />lights in front of the bank whereby the town pays the Trust <br />Company for two street lights. If the lights were not <br />there for the Trust Company, Mr. Raymond thought we would <br />have to have two street lights anyway. Mr. Rowse suggested <br />that Mr. Raymond talk with Mr. Walker to see how the Bank <br />would feel about assuming the whole cost of the lights. <br />Letter was received from the Appropriation Committee <br />stating that in a discussion with Mr. Plxten, he suggested <br />Snow <br />utilizing regular town employees from other departments, <br />Removal <br />such as the Engineers, to assist in the supervision of snow <br />removal. Mr. Paxton thought that this would substantially <br />increase the efficiency and economy of snow removal. Mr. <br />Raymond said there was no question but that in a great snow <br />storm it would be logical to have the Engineers or some other <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />
