Messrs.,Rowse, <br />Potter, Sarano, and Locke were present. The Clerk was <br />also present. <br />In the absence of Mr. Giroux, Mrs. Rowse served as <br />Chairman. <br />• <br />• <br />• <br />Mr. Paxton appeared before the Board. He said that <br />the Lexington Minute -Men had requested the use of a Con - <br />Use of <br />ference Room on January 23, 1942 from 5:00 P.M. to 10:00 <br />Halls <br />P.M. Mr. Potter moved that the use of the Conference <br />Room be granted free of charge. Mr. Locke seconded the <br />motion, and it was so voted. <br />Mr. Paxton informed the Board that the Chamber of <br />Commerce had requested the use of Estabrook Hall on <br />January 30, 1942 for a meeting. Mr. Sarano moved that <br />the use of the hall be granted free of charge. Mr. <br />Potter seconded the motion, and it was so voted. <br />Mr. Paxton said that he regretted to inform the Board <br />that he was in error when he reported that the cost of <br />Adams <br />installing the street light at the Adams School would be <br />School <br />625.00. When the Edison Company investigated, they found <br />light <br />that it would be necessary to install two poles and to <br />run the wires in. The estimated cost is $132.50. It was <br />decided to hold the matter over until next week so that <br />Mr. Giroux could express his opinion on it. <br />Mr. Paxton said that he had talked with the State <br />Department of Public Works about the method of paying <br />Traffic <br />for the traffic signals at Waltham Street and Marrett <br />signals <br />Road. The Town installed a_traffic island there and did <br />some patching at a cost of about $150.00. The State De- <br />partment asked that the Town get bids on one controller <br />with the idea that the controller be purchased by the <br />Town and delivered to the State to replace the one they <br />used. Mr. Paxton talked with Mr. Russell and he said <br />that he would approve of this method of payment. Mr. <br />Paxton received two bids, both amounting to $977.50. <br />Mr. Paxton said that he talked with Mr. Williams, of <br />the State Department, who said that he preferred that <br />the matter be handled in this way. Mr. Paxton said that <br />before the bill was put through for payment he would re- <br />quest the State to send him a letter stating that the <br />equipment had been received and that this was our method <br />of paying for it. <br />• <br />• <br />• <br />
