Chairman Locke, Messrs. <br />Potter, Rowse, Sarano and Sheldon were present. The Clerk <br />was also present. The members were notified of this meeting <br />by a notice mailed on May 17, 1945. <br />At 7:30 P.M. Mr. Neil McIntosh and Mr. Paxton appeared <br />before the Board. <br />Mr. McIntosh said that he had requeEted the appointment <br />this evening because of.the fact that on either end of <br />Middleby Road the Town has placed a sign. However, Mr. <br />McIntosh claims that a portion of this road is known as <br />Wachusett Drive,.and'he would like to have it settled one <br />way or another that the the way be known as Wachusett Drive <br />or Middleby Road. He stated thatthis street had never been <br />properly laid out. <br />Mr. Paxton said that some years ago signs were erected <br />on all unaccepted streets. <br />Mr. McIntosh said that he had no objection to calling <br />the entire length Middleby Road. <br />Mr. McIntosh said that he was disturbed about the <br />condition of the dump on Lincoln Street. <br />The Chairman stated that the Board was aware of the <br />condition and discussed it, but was largely a matter of <br />manpower and equipment. <br />Mr. McIntosh retired at 7:55 P.M. <br />Mr. Paxton informed the Board that Mr. Eugene LaRose <br />of North Street had dug a well and the water, although <br />better than he previously had, still has a high iron content <br />and is somewhat cloudy. Mr. LaRose does not think the water <br />is good for drinking,, and desires that a water main be <br />installed .in the street. <br />Mr. Paxton said that in his opinion the situation is <br />the same as it was in 1943 when Mr. LaRose appeared before <br />the board. He said that if the Board did decide'to put <br />the water main in, it would have to be done by an outside <br />contractor. <br />Mr. Sheldon asked how many people would be served by <br />the installation of the water main, and Mr. Paxton said <br />that a Mr. Mercadante owns the adjoining land and he is <br />served by the main on Lowell Street. <br />Mr. Potter asked if a two-inch pipe could be run through <br />the fields, and Mr. Paxton said that Mr. LaRose is about 700' <br />or 800' away from Lowell Street, and that it would cost <br />181 <br />McIntosh <br />Re: <br />Middleby <br />Road <br />Lincoln <br />Street <br />Dump <br />LaRosa <br />Water <br />Service <br />North <br />Street <br />
