Mr. Hellman, of Cliffe Avenue came before the Board and requested that an extension be made through the field from the house now occupied by him to a new house which he built. Mr. Tenney informed him that the pipe (6inch) would have to be put in at the expense of the petitioner, and that if the town extends the pipe up the main street, he would have to agree to abandon the connection with the service across the field and join on the main service. 11r. Hellman was informed that the Board had no authority to lay pipes in unaccepted streets without authority of a vote of the town. It was left with Mr. Beaudry to map out the situation and present same to Mr. Ryder to see whether or not it could be done legally. Letter was received from Mr. Emery in which he suggested that assessments be made for betterments in cases where street lights and water pipes are put in.

Mr. Tenney stopped the pro- gress of the work and informed Mr. Doe that it must be done properly and that Mr. Beaudry would see that it was done so. Mr. Emery requested that sewer pipe be extended to a point on Oakland Street, and he could then extend a pipe across the field to connect with the sewer. Mr. Beaudry informed the Board that it would cost in the vicinity of $2500 to install this section of sewer and it would serve about eight families. In view of the fact that there were no complaints of over- flowing cesspools in this vicinity, the Board decided that there was no immediate need of extending the sewer to this point at present, and requested Mr. Beaudry to so inform Mr. Emery. The Board voted to install a hydrant on Follen Road near Summit. Road, provided the same meets with the approval of Mr. Frank D. Peirce, Mr. Beaudry reported that to do the work required on the ' Ryder land at the Munroe Brook would cost in the vicinity of $700 to $1000. Mr. Ryder in this connection intormed Mr, Tenney that if the Town did not remove this nuisance on his property, that he could ask for a rebate on his taxes. Not having had a reply from Arlington. the Clerk was dir- ected to again write concerning their intentions. Mr. Tenney requested that the suggested procedure prepared by Mr. Ryder as to entrance into the sewer be considered at a later date. ' sir. Beaudry brought the matter of having Mr. hunt connect up with the sewer. the houses owned by him near the junction of 'Wallis Court on Mass. -Avenue.
