It appeared that <br />they were all privately owned and installed, with the excep- <br />tion of the one on Westview Street which was apparently in- <br />stalled by the Town. <br />Mr. Potter said that he did not think the Town should <br />be responsible for any 2" mains. Mr. Rowse suggested that <br />Two -Inch if trouble is encountered, and the pipe doesn't belong to <br />Water the Town, the owners should assume all responsibility. <br />Mains Colonel Barry said that the owners of the property have <br />changed on some of the streets where there is 2" pipe laid. <br />The Board decided that the Town would not be responsible <br />for the maintenance or repair of 2" water mains in the Town <br />with the exception of the one located on Westview Street, <br />which the Board understands was installed by the Town. <br />Mr. DeFoe reported that he had an interview with Alfred <br />E. Emerson about whom Mr. R. L. McQuillan had written to <br />the Board. <br />Mr. DeFoe said that Mr. Emerson has had no engineering <br />experience. The only work which he is familiar with in this <br />line is running a transit. Mr. DeFoe said that he doubted <br />very much if there is any place in the Engineering Department <br />for this applicant., <br />Mr. DeFoe referred to the policy being followed relative <br />to sanding hills on unaccepted streets. <br />The Board decided that all hills should be sanded irres-' <br />pective of their acceptance and whether or not calls have been <br />received requesting sanding. <br />co <br />1.21 <br />46,4 <br />1 <br />1 <br />
