592 <br />Special <br />police <br />Food Stamp <br />Revolving <br />Fund <br />The Clerk stated that Joseph S. Wellington should have <br />been appointed a special police officer last week. He is <br />the caretaker for the Hayden Estate, <br />Mr. Sarano moved that the appointment be made for a <br />period of one year. Mr. Rowse seconded the motion, and it <br />was so voted. <br />A letter was received from Mr. George V. Morse stating <br />that he had consulted with the Supervisor of the Surplus <br />Marketing Administration, Cdr. Chester A. Halnan. When this <br />4lan was first designated for Lexington, Mr. Halnan stated <br />5,000.00 was the minimum that could be used in the Revolving <br />Fund, When Mr. Morse reported that we had purchased $4500.00 <br />worth of stamps and had used only $1466.00 out of this pur- <br />chase, Mr. Halnan said that the Revolving Fund could be re- <br />duced to $3,000.00 at tonight's Town Meeting rather than <br />one of $51,000.00. <br />The Chairman said that perhaps the Town Meeting members <br />would ask many questions with reference to the Vine Brook <br />Vine Brook projects and if so, he wondered if the Board would have any <br />committee objection to telling them that they could appoint a committee <br />to study the figures. The Board had no objection to this. <br />The Chairman said that the sum of $8,000.00 was :set up <br />for sewer extensions, this amount to be appropriated from <br />revenue of the current year. He said that Mr. Rowse was <br />going to recommend that the $8,000.00 be bonded and he <br />wondered if,the Board wanted to change its stand. Upon <br />taking a poll, Messrs. Locke, Potter and Giroux felt tt <br />would be best to appropriate the money from revenue rather <br />than to bond it, so no change was made in the recommendation. <br />The following letter was received from the Health <br />Inspector: <br />April 7, 1941 <br />Hon. Board of Health <br />Lexington, Mass, <br />Gentlemen: <br />I wish to report that there is an overflow- <br />ing <br />verflow-ing septic tank at #6 Aerial Street, Lexington, now <br />owned by one Anna Bergstrom of 50 Brighton Street, <br />Belmont, Mass. I made an inspection of the premises <br />on March 13, and on March 14 talked on the telephone <br />with Harry Johnson, whom I believed owned the.house. <br />Johnson promised to abate the nuisance. On March 29, <br />I again visited the premises with Mr. E. A. Lindstrom, <br />Plumbing Inspector, and found that the septic tank <br />was still overflowing. <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />
