Mr. Sheldon seconded the motion, and it was so voted. At 7:45 Colonel Barry and kr, Joseph H..DeFoe, Supt. of Public Works, appeared before the Board. Colonel Barry s aid that what he wanted to discuss this evening was plowing streets upon which there was only one house. He said that there are several such streets, and it actually amounts to plowing a driveway. He said that it hardly seemed fair to plow streets with one or two houses on them, and refuse to plow driveways. However, he did not want to change the procedure without the acquiescence of the Board. Mr. Rowse suggested that a list be made up of unaccepted streets which should be plowed. Colonel Barry said that it would take some time to make such a survey. He said that the Town should refuse to plow unaccepted streets, or have it definitely understood that the residents of such streets must remove boulders before the plows go through. 1
