Special Meeting May 10, 1948 On Monday, May 10, 1948 at 4;30 p.m. Mr. Paxton, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, had a conference with Mr. Crimp, the architect on the proposed new elementary school on ;Adams Street and Mr. Waltzer Chambers. Mr. Burns, Ass►t. Supt. of Public Works was also present. This meeting was held for the purpose of discussing drainage, water main construction and street lighting at the new school. It was unanimously decided that the roof water and driveway drains would be carried towards Adams Street and that a temporary line, approx- imately 400 feet, could be constructed along the bank of the brook and the water could be dissipated to the open brook of the channel. Mr. Burns, in the meantime, will analyze the street drainage on :!dams Street and adjoining streets and take into consideration the conditions of this drain from the school so that ultimately it can carry to Adams Street near the present culvert. On water main construction, Mr. Paxton informed them that it was not necessary to obtain the approval of the Board of Selectmen, but that Mr. DeFoe and Mr. Burns could work it out with the architects at the proper time. The main could be installed, it being understood that the school appropriation would pay for the toal cost of labor, materials and equipment in the construction of this main. Mr. Crimp wanted the opinion of the Board of Selectmen pertaining to street lights through the school driveway and Mr. Paxton informed him that, as it is not a street, he felt any lighting in the driveway or park- ing area should be borne by the School Department and could be controlled from within the building. This appeared to be in accord with the opinion of the School Committee and therefore there will be no street lights installed along the dtiveway or parking area. WCP : m "1/.C2-/Zilectmen. 369
