Both Mr. Beach and Mr. Ross said I that they preferred the Edson pump. Mr. Ross feels he should Minus_Preight Re: Pumps keep his pump at the Public Works Building for emergency and for sewer Mr. Beach feels he should have a pump on his project at all 3% work times. Mr. Paxton recommended purchasing two three-inch pumps; one for the Water and Sewer Department and one for the W.P.A. Mr. Rowse asked who would own the pump when the sewer job was finished if the pump was purchased for the W.P.A. sewer work. Mr. Paxton said he thought the pump should go to the Sewer Department, Mr. Rowse said he thought one pump would be enough. He said he didn't believe it would be legal to charge the pump to the money provided by the bond issue. He thought that if Mr. Beach wanted to make an agreement to hire a pump at the usual rental price, and used it for a sufficient number of days to pay for the pump, it could then be purchased. Mr. Paxton said that it was his understanding that the Selectmen were opposed to rental purchases. It was finally decided that it would be all right to hire the pump on a rental purchase basis for the W.P.A. but that the pump for the Sewer Department should not be purchased until after Town Meeting. Mr. Rowse said what disturbed him most was who would vwn the equipment after the job was completed. Mr. Paxton said he had obtained prices on V.C. and con- , trete pipe, for the W.P.A. and the Sewer Department. Prices were received on a total of 4200 feet of 8 inch pipe and Re: Pipe 850 feet of 10,inch pipe, of which 1300 feet of 8 inch pipe for sewer was for the Sewer Department and the remainder is for W.P.A. work sewer projects.
