241 <br />SELECTMEN'S MEETING <br />March 17, 1947 <br />A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held <br />in the Selectmen's Room, Town Office Building, on Monday, <br />March 17, 1947 at 7:30 p.m. Chairman Paxton, Messrs. <br />Locke, Sarano, Emery and Gay were present. The Clerk was <br />also present. <br />At 7:30 p.m. Mr. Joseph H. DeFoe, Supt. of Public <br />Works, met with the Selectmen, Mr. DeFoe stated that Roy <br />M. Scott of Middle Street, who has a problem of water in <br />his cellar, claims that unless the Town does something to <br />relieve the situation he will go "further". The Chairman <br />stated that the drainage system in this particular area <br />was installed in 1932 and as far as putting in any main <br />drainage it might as well be forgotten because it would <br />constitdte a major project. The Chairman explained that <br />the budgets for this year have been presented to the Boards <br />and approved, and there is no wg.y of providing money for <br />drainage on Middle Street except by a transfer from the <br />Reserve Fund. This job would cost approximately $5,000 <br />or $6,000 and he did not believe such a large transfer <br />should be requested. He suggested that Mr. DeFoe explain <br />to Mr. Scott that the Board appreciates his problem and will <br />make some provision for it next year. <br />Mr. SeFoe asked whether or not the Board desired to <br />approve the sub -contractors for engineering work on the <br />five sewer projects or if the Supt. of Public Works could <br />approve them. <br />Mr. Locke moved that Miller and Nylander be approved as <br />sub -contractors. Mr. Sarano seconded the motion, and it <br />was so voted. <br />The Chairman read a letter from the Arlington Gas Light <br />Company requesting permission to locate gas mains on North <br />Hancock Streets, Braemore Terrace and Ledgelawn Avenue. <br />The proposed locations have been approved by the Town Engineer. <br />Mr. Sarano moved that the request be granted. Mr. Emery <br />seconded the motion, and it was so voted. <br />The Chairman reminded the Board that no decision had <br />been made on the application of the Modern Home Building <br />Trust for approval of a plan of Carl Road and Myrna Road. <br />Mr. Sarano suggested that the developer be requ red to <br />construct the street and install water and drainage before <br />
