Chairman Rbwse, Messrs. Potter, Locke and Sarano were present. The Clerk was also present. At 7:30 P.M. Mr. William Cann, Building Inspector, appeared before the Board. He reported that for the period beginning January 1, 1943 to May 28, 1943, he had issued 53 permits; cash received from Cann permits $138.00; total valuation $23,076.00 and 557 inspections Cad He gave a report of duties performed by him such as, checking Allowance overhanging signs, zoning complaints etc. Mr. Cann said that he was asking for an additional $100.00 car allowance. Mr. Cann retired at 7:50 P.M. The Board discussed Mr. Cann's request and inasmuch as there is very little building being done at the present time it was felt that there was no justification for additional automobile allowance. Upon motion of Mr. Potter, seconded by Mr. Locke, it. was voted to take no action on this request. Mr. John A. Lyons, Chairman of the Public Welfare Board, appeared before the Board at 7:50.P.M. Bd. of Mr. Lyons said that he had received a telephone scall from Public Mr. Morse to the effect that Mr. Delaney is opposed to the new Welfare office here and insists upon two rooms. Mr. Lyons said that his Board would like to continue with the one room. Mr. Lyons said that he had talked with Mr. Barnes, Director of Aid and Relief. He said both he and Mr. Wrightington had checked the law with reference to an outside person being a member of the Bureau of Old Age Assistance. He said. that they both agreed that there seemed to be nothing in the law compelling that one member should be someone outside the Public Welfare Board. The present Bureau of Old Age Assistance, appointed by the Board of Select- men consists of two Selectmen who are now legally appointed and can act for the term. Mr. Lyons said that if the two Selectmen desired to resign, this bureau would be taken over by the Public Welfare Department. The Old Age Assistance Cases and the Regular Meetings of the Board could then be held at the same time. Mr. Lyons stated that Mr. Morse had brought up the matter of Civi l Service Examination for a new Agent. However, the Board did not feel that they wanted to appoint an Agent at this time. Mr. Lyons retired at 8:00 P.M. 0.4 1 1
