SELECTMEN+S MEETING I October 14,1940 A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held in the Selectmen's Room, Town Office Building, at 7=30 P.M. Messrs. Potter, Locke and Sarano were present. The Clerk was also present. Mr. Rowse arrived at 8;15. P.M. and left at 8:45 P.M. Mr. Carroll appeared before the Board for the draw- ing of a juror to serve on civil business at Cambridge, beginning Monday, November 18, 1940. Mr. Russell C. Hinckley, underwriter, age 40 of 44 Bertwell Road, was the juror drawn. At 7:30 P. M. hearing was declared open upon the petition of the Boston Edison Company and the N. E. Tel. & Tel. Co. for joint pole locations of three poles on Follen Road, southerljr from Locust Avenue. Mr. Howard F. Moyon, of the Edison Company, and Mr. Henry D. Miller, builder and owner of the house at the corner of Follen Road and Locust Avenue, were present at the hearing. Mr. Miller said that he did not want two poles in front of his house, and that a line of poles would have to come up Locust Avenue anyway. Mr. Moyan said that ' his company laid out its plan in anticipation of addi- tional business. The line now ends at the notherly side of Locust Avenue. This line is to serve the house at 205 Follen Road, and it.could serve Mr. Miller's house also. He said that perhaps later on the Town would want street lights installed, and obviously a light would have to be near the corner. Mr. Moyan said that these circumstances were not unusual, and that his company had given the matter considerable study, and came to the conclusion that this was the best thing to do. Mr. Miller and Mr. Moyon discussed the subject at some length. The hearing was declared closed at 8:10 P.M. The Board considered the petition, and while in sympathy with Mr. Miller's objection to poles in front of his property, felt that the Edison Company had given the matter considerable study, and that if this was the conclusion they had readhed, it was the best way to serve the neighborhood. Mr. Sarano moved that the petition be granted as presented. Mr. Locke seconded the motion, and it was so voted. Mr, Raymond appeared before the Board. He said that last week the Selectmen asked him to investigate the claim ' of loss of water at the Porter and Wilson well. N 0 Juror Pole location hearing
