The Clerk was instructed to write Mr. Cann and <br />ask whether or not the lot could be built upon and if <br />not, why not. <br />Mr. Potter said he had talked with Mr. Spencer <br />about the possibility of his contacting the abutters <br />of these small tax title lots. He said that some of <br />these lots are too small for house lots, and if the <br />Board would allow Mr. Spencer something for the use <br />of his car and nothing for his time, he would then be <br />able to contact the abutters to determine whether or <br />not they would be interested in purchasing adjacent <br />lots. Mr. Potter felt that this would be a tremendous <br />help in disposing of some of the tax title property, <br />and also eliminate the sale of small lots upon <br />which might be erected undesirable buildings. <br />Mr. Rowse moved that the Appropriation Committee <br />be requested to transfer the sum of $100.00 from the <br />Reserve Fund to the Assessors' Department - Expenses <br />Account, increasing the item of auto allowance from <br />$150.00 to $250.00. Mr. Sarano seconded the motion, <br />and it was so voted. <br />Mr. Paxton appeared before the Board at 7:30 P.M. <br />He said that he had a caterpillar tractor at the <br />Publie.Works Building which had been discarded in 1943, <br />when a new unit had been purchased. He stated that it <br />is approximately twenty years old, and since it has been <br />stored in the rear of the building, a number of persons <br />had looked at it. He said that he has always set a <br />price of 475.00 on it, and he has just received a bid <br />from Albert P. Iodice offering to pay 475.00. <br />Mr. Potter asked how long it had been since the <br />unit had been used, and Mr. Paxton replied that it was <br />used in 1943. <br />Mr. Sheldon moved that Mr. Paxton be authorized <br />to accept the bid of $75.00 received from Albert P. <br />Iodise. Mr. Potter seconded the motion, and it was so <br />voted. <br />Mr. Paxton said that there is a drainage problem <br />on Downing Road. He said that the water extends out• <br />to the street, and is eight feet deep causing a great <br />deal of difficulty to James Coscia, who has registered <br />a complaint with Mr. Paxton. <br />Mr. Paxton said that Manuel Ferry of 50 Downing <br />Road also approached him claiming that the existing <br />conditions, because of improper drainage, are a health <br />menanee. <br />Mr. Paxton said that the only way to eliminate the <br />condition is to extend the drainage system which will <br />cost approximately w1,150.0O for a distance of 221 feet. <br />139 <br />Contact <br />Abutters <br />Re: Sale <br />Tax Title <br />Lots <br />Sale of <br />Old Tractor <br />Draining <br />Downing <br />Road <br />
