15T Mr. DeFoe, Supt. of Public Works:: met with the Board. He presented a sketch of proposed whter Water main extension on Marrett Road and explained that the Extension main was extended last year up to property owned by a Mr. Caciolla. Mr. Rinaldo would noW1ike it extended to service Lot B-1 and is willing to pay for a distance of approximately 900 feet. However, no other property owner has asked for this service. The Chairman asked if Mr. ninaldo has applied for a building permit and he replied in the negative. He stated that Mr. Rinaldo might be satisfied with 400 feet this year; however, if the town extends only 4001 it appears that they can assess for only about one fourth of the cost. Mr. Gay moved that the Suptt. of Public Works prepare an estimate of the cost of the installation of 9001 and have it sent to the abutters for signatures. Mr. Hoyt seconded the motion, and it was so voted. Mr. DeFoe then presented a sketch showing the proposed water main in Oak Street. Mr. Larson, who owns all one side of the street, has signed the petition and Mr. West, who owns most of the other side, signed it but reserved the right to petition the Board for an abatement. Mr. Russell, the only other property owner refused to sign. Mr. West claims that he now has water and does not see how the town can assess him further. The Chairman said if Mr. West has a good reason for asking for an abatement because_ the present 2" main goes by his property it would appear that Mr. Larson could make the same claim. Mr. Nickerson Tax suggested that the Town Counsel be advised of this Title together with information submitted by Mr. Larson relative to his offer of $1,300 for 13 lots. Mr. Hoyj suggested that Mr. DeFoe discuss the matter with Mr. Lynch and that any decision be held over. Mr. DeFoe explained that there are three property owners, all on Asbury Street, but only one has Water signed for water. He is a G. I. and has his house all constructed. The Chairman asked if the town Extension would be able to assess one half of the cost or about two thirds of the linear footage. Mr. DeFoe replied that there is only about 50 feet that can be assedsed for the proportion on Glenwood Street. The Chairman suggested that it might be possible to service this house by extending the water main down Paul Revere Road. Mr. DeFoe said he understood from the Engineering Department that the proposed method is the shortest and the least expensive but he would be glad to check it further.
