SELECTMEN'S MEETING <br />January 31, 1944 <br />A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was <br />held in the Selectmen's Room, Town Office Building, on <br />Monday evening, January 31 1944, at 7:30 P.M. Chairman <br />Rowse, Messrs. Potter, Locke, Sarano and Sheldon were <br />present. The Clerk was also present. <br />At 7:30 P.M. Mr. Carroll appeared before the Board <br />for the drawing of two jurors. <br />Mr. John V. Fannon, statistician, 2 Plymouth Road, <br />was drawn to serve on Civil Business, Second Session, <br />at Cambridge, beginning March 6, 1944. <br />Mr. Gorham Buttrick farmer, 6 Locust Avenue, was <br />drawn to serve on Civil Business, First Session at <br />Cambridge beginning March 6, 1944. <br />Mr. Carroll retired and Mr. George G. Whiting <br />appeared before the Board. <br />The Chairman said that inasmuch as George Holman <br />has discontinued slaughtering and Mr. Monsignore is Slghtrng <br />preparing to carry on the slaughtering business at Laconia Animals <br />Street, the Board was considering making a charge for <br />each animal slaughtered. <br />Mr. Whiting said that he assumed Mr. Monsignore would <br />slaughter for his own use and possibly for anyone else who <br />might have one or two animals to be slaughtered. He said <br />that now, with Mr. Holman out of the business, there <br />would be no other way for residents in Lexington who have <br />raised one or two pigs to have them slaughtered without <br />going out of Town. <br />Mr. Whiting said that with this being the only <br />slaughtering house in Town he didn't think Mr. Monsignore <br />would be able to take care of the all the business in the <br />limited time designated on his permit if people raise <br />hogs and cattle next year the way they did this year. <br />After some discussion on the subject, it was decided <br />to wait until the slaughtering business at Laconia Street <br />had been in operation for a few months and then to have <br />Mr. Whiting report to the Board if anything out of the <br />ordinary develops. <br />Mr. Whiting agreed to do this and retired at 8:50 P.M. <br />The Board considered the question of making a charge Chg. for <br />for each animal slaughtered, and upon motion of Mr. Potter, Slghtrng <br />seconded by Mr. Sarano, it was voted to make a charge <br />of 10¢ for each hog, calf or sheep slaughtered and 25' for <br />each cattle slaughtered. <br />The Clerk was instructed to advise Mr. Whiting of <br />this, and to request him to forward to the Selectmen's <br />Office a record of the animals slaughtered so that the <br />ehargesc.co ald be made direct to the slaughterer from <br />this office. <br />393 <br />Jurors <br />
