He said heavy trucks drove over the lot and as a result it ' is six inches lower than it was. He said water flows down the street and across the lot. He said that the Town put in a small sidewalk to stop the water but it was not a permanent remedy. Mr. Raymond said the agreement which the Bullock heirs signed was never executed by the Town as it was not satisfactory so the Town had to make a taking and the taking is what is in affect. Mr. Bullock said that no mention had been made of the removal of two elm trees but Mr. Raymond said the taking included the removal of those trees. The Chairman asked Mr. Bullock what he wanted the Town to do and he replied he wanted the lot graded and seeded so the water would not flow down over it. He said that he had an excellent garden there for four years but that it would be no good for gardening now. He was without the use of the lot for two years. The Chairman told him the matter would be reconsidered and he retired at 8:27 P. M. Mr. Raymond said it would cost about 6150.00 to grade and seed the lot and another 6lbO.00 for drainage. After some discussion, Mr. Paxton was instructed to call on Mr. Bullock and tell him that the Board would approve grading and seeding the lot provided he would give the Town a re- lease of all clams for damages. Mr. Ray mond retired at 8:35 P. M. ' Letter was received from Elmer A. Lord & Co. suggesting that a schedule of charges be submitted to the Board so that it might'again consider the matter of including sprinkler leakage insurance on contents of school buildings and of the Public Works Building. The Clerk was requested to ask that such a list be submitted for the Board's consideration. The Board discussed rates to be charged for the use of the ambulance. It was the feeling of the Board that a charge should be made if the patient was not a welfare or an accident case. Mr. Paxton said that if the Board desired to bill for the use of the ambulance, the committee felt that it should be at the rate of $3.00 per hour. Mr. Potter moved that the rate of $3.00 per hour be established with a minimum of $5.00 per trip and that the ambulance only be used in time of emergency. Mr. Locke seconded the motion, and it was so voted The Chairman informed the Board that the balance in the unclassified account was $43.65. The estimate for fur- nishing candles for the side windows of the Town Office Building and the Bary Memorial Building is (30.00. ' Mr. Potter moved that the additional lights.be pur- chased and the expense be charged to the Unclassified Account. Mr. Sarano seconded the motion, and it was so voted.
