The minutes of the December 4, 1973 meeting were approved as read. Mr. Heustis presented the plans and explanation of the im- provements to Kiln Brook by the Town of Lexington. FIe said that the Town had to go through the Hatch Act precedure and the Ccn- KILN servation Commission had requested the Board of Health to re- BROOK view the plans. MATCH ACT The Board agreed that the improvements should be conducted so that the Landfill will not be enlarged into Tophet Swamp. It was also suggested that the leaching from the landfill be controlled in some way so that the standing water and brooks would not be so contaminated. The Hearing for these plans will be held on January 9, 1973, Mr. Heustis and Mr. Lambie will attend. The application for permission to add one horse to the ex- LOVERING isting permit for 2 ponies by Mrs. Emily Lovering, 37 Grove St„ HORSE was reviewed by the Board. Mr. Heustis said cards had again been sent to the abuttors stating that an application to keep an additionalhorse had been received. There were objections from the abuttors. The abuttors felt that the increased activity created by the exercising of the animals and the riding lessons that went on was more than they wanted. They also felt that a third horse could present a prob- lem to the health and safety of the neighborhood. The Board discussed this problem and then voted that due to the objections of the abuttors and the fact that to qualify for the original permit Mrs. Lovering had to obtain permission from Mr. Johnson to use some of his land this permit should be denied. Motion made and duly passed. The application for a permit to keep one horse by Lisa LORING Loring at 545 Bedford Street was discussed by the Board. HORSE 545 BEDFORD Mr. Heustis stated he had made a site inspection and STREET felt the drainage in this area was poor.
