M -scope Mr. DeFoe said that he would like the Board to re- consider his request for permission to purchase an M -scope. He said that the reason he is asking for reconsideration is because of the fact that they had a water break on Williams Road and the Sewer pipe goes down the center of the road with the water pipe supposedly ten or eleven feet out of the eenter of the road. However, in this particular instance it was only three feet out and the men hit it. He said that it would seem that before the town does too much more sewer work, it should definitely be determined where the pipes are located. Mr. Paxton said that it was obvious that an M -scope:: is needed and he could see no reason why it should hot be purchased now. He suggested that the item be charged to Main Breaks under Maintenance of Mains. Mr. Sarano moved that the Supt. of Public Works be authorized to purchase immediately an M -scope and that the allowance in the 1947 budget for this item be eliminated. Mr. Locke seconded the motion, and it was so voted. *corp -cocks, 150 curbing cocks and 150 Nog 1 1
