Stanley <br />Wilson <br />SELECTMEN'S MEETING 0 <br />January 12, 1942 <br />A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held <br />in the Selectmen's Room, Town office Building on Monday, <br />January 12, 1942 at 7:30 P.M. Chairman Giroux, Messrs. <br />Potter, Rowse, Locke, and Sarano were present. The Clerk <br />was also present. <br />At 7:30 P.M. Mr. Stanley Wilson of 4 Pleasant Street <br />appeared before the Board. He asked how the Board arrived <br />at the figure that he and his brother were to pay the Town <br />for water. The Chairman said he believed that the Board <br />should not go any further in the matter. He told Mr. <br />Wilson that the Selectmen accepted a suggestion from the <br />Justice presiding that a person living outside of Lex- <br />ington be appointed as an expert in the case. Mr. Wilson <br />again asked how the Board arrived at the figure and Mr. <br />Rowse said that the expert recommended a figure and that <br />the Selectmen accepted it. The Chairman asked Wilson if <br />he went down to the Probation Officer to discuss the <br />figure after he was advised of it and he replied in the <br />negative: The Chairman said that the Selectmen could <br />recommend but that the Court could have set any figure it . <br />desired. He told the man thit his proper objection would <br />be to Chief Probation Officer, Smith, who would undoubtedly <br />take it up with the fudge. Mr. Potter said that the ex- <br />pert suggested by the Court was a farmer who was supposed <br />to make a fair estimate of the amount of water that was <br />used. Mr. Wilson said that he had no desire to go to <br />Court again but he .thought that the figure was unfair. <br />The Chairman told him that if he wanted to, he could meet <br />him at the Court House tomorrow morning at 9:30 and that <br />he, the Chairman, would arrange with the Chief Probation <br />Officer for a conference with the Court. Mr. Wilson said <br />he didn't know if he could go down in the morning or not, <br />but he would try. <br />Mr. Wilson retired at 7:45 P.M. <br />The Committee on Mages and Salaries appeared at 7:45 P.1f. <br />and retired at 9:12 P.M. <br />Mr. Wrightington appeared at 9:15 P.M. <br />The Chairman told him that Albert A. Miller, one of <br />the engineers, was thinking of leaving the Town's employ <br />to go to work on a defense project. Mr. Miller wanted to <br />know if his position would be protected during his ab- <br />sence. Mr. Wrightington said that the man would not be <br />in the armed forces and that Chap. 708 of the Acts of 1941 <br />would not apply to him. <br />0 <br />
