April 24, 1945 at 7:30 P.M. Chairman Locke, Messrs. <br />Rowse, Sarano and Sheldon were present. The Clerk was also <br />present. The members were notified of this meeting by a <br />notice mailed April 23, 1945* <br />At 7:35 P.M. Mr. Paxton appeared before the Board. <br />He said that he had received a letter from Mr. B. A. <br />Simeone, Contractor, who purchased the land on Maple Street <br />from the Ryders. Mr. Simeone has built a road on the first <br />section, starting on Maple Street and a:oing back some 800 <br />feet or 900 feet. He would like to make a dumping ground <br />of this area. The first two or three hundred feet in from <br />Maple Street are not very deep, and Mr. Simeone hopes to <br />fill it in with ashes, etc. He would like to excavate the <br />back end and fill that section in with rubbish and make it <br />into a regular dumping area. Mr. Paxton said that he <br />thought Mr. Simeone would make an attempt to keep a good <br />dump, but he wasn't sure how satisfactory it would be to <br />the town. <br />Mr. Sheldon asked if this would be a public dump, and <br />Mr. Paxton said that Mr. Simeone would offer it as a public E. Lex. <br />dump to the people in East Lexington. Simeone <br />Mr. Sarano asked if there were any time limit, and Mr. Dump <br />Paxton said that Mr. Simeone had mentioned a period of five <br />years. <br />Mr. Sarano asked if this dump would improve the section, <br />and Mr. Paxton replied that ultimately it might. <br />The Chairman asked if Mr. Simeone intended to do any <br />excavating, and Mr. Paxton said that he didn't; he has some <br />good gravel in there. <br />Mr. Paxton said that the dump would be visible five or <br />six hundred feet from Maple Street, and the Board would Dump <br />probably have to restrict it to some extent. Held Over <br />It was decided to make no decision on the matter until <br />the members of the Board had an opportunity to visit the <br />location. <br />Mr. Paxton informed the Board that he had received bids <br />on a tractor, and there is a variation in the bids because of <br />the fact that some extras are included on some units which <br />are not included on Others. Two bids were received from <br />two different concerns on an International tractor. He said <br />that the low bid was received from the Clark Wilcox Company. <br />The bids received were as follows: <br />Bids on <br />Tractor <br />
