Burnha,,:., Custance, Ballard, and Chamberlain were present. The Supt. of Public Works and the Clerk were also present. The following commitments were approved, Water Dept. $14,553.42, and Sewer Dept. $1,146.05. Amos Holman came before the Board in reply to their request that he sign a letter agreeing to get rid of his pigs on November 1, 1928 in connection with obtaining a slaughter license. Mr. Holman was informed that Lr. B. Connors had already agreed to get rid of his pigs on November 1, 1928, and the Board also felt �hat.he should cooperate and get rid of his pigs. Mr. Holman stated that he felt that to get rid of his pigs on November 1, 1928 would be a hardship to htlm, but he would be willing to get rid of them on May 1, 1929, provided he was allowed to keep pigs for slaughtering. Mr. Holman therefore signed the statement that he would get rid of his pigs on May 1, 1929 and a permit to keep 100 pigs was therefore granted to him. Mr. Holman stated that he owned the water main from his house and from which a number of water takers were drawing water and inasmuch as it was only a 2" main they could not get any water pres- sure. The Supt. of Public Works was requested to give Mr. Holman an estimate of the cost of installing a 6" main. It was voted to request the Supt. of Public Works to bring in his recommendation as to what should be done in the way of taking up the tracks and doing street work on Mass. Avenue along the property which Ellen Tower intends to give to the Toiri. It was suggested that he might figure upon placing a sidewalk along this property, grass border, and qurbing. Hearing was declared open upon the q)plication of William F. Downe for permission to erect a one car garage at 286 Marrett Road. The Building Inspector appeared to inform the Board that he favored the granting of the permit. No persons appeared to object, and it was voted to grant him a permit. Hearing was declared open upon the application of Prendergast Bros. for permission to install a gasoline filling station of 2500 gallons at the corner of Fottler Avenue and Blass. Avenue in East Lexington'. • Mr. Prendergast presented plan showing the location and outline of the building. Mr. John A. Kenego of Brandon Street cppeared and spoke against the erection of the Filling Station at this point, owing to the danger to the children who go through Fottler Avenue every morning on their way to school, and another filling station added to what was already in the vicinity would certainly enganger the lives of the children. Mr. George F. 10,elick, 70 :"ass. Avenue, also appeared to object to the filling station being located at the corner. P+lr. Charles A. Cummings, 130 Mass. Avenue q.peared to object 31..E Ile stated that t` ere are now sever filling statin_ s from the Arlington -Lexington town_ line to 'aple Street on the sane side of the street on Which this man is a, ,)plying for a gasoline station N and for this reason there w<s objection to a filling station at this point. He stated t'rat he objected to the T plication previously made by Er. Whalen for a gasoline station on his ' premises, and he felt that the conditions have not changed since Mr. Whalen made application. The question was asked whether or not L -r. Kenego would feel that stores on both corners of Fottler Avenue would be less objectionable, and he stated that he felt that they would, inas- much as the cars would not be continually driving in, and the danger would be less. The application was laid on the table for one week. Letter was received from the Supt. of Public Works in which he informed the Board that the bills for rental of the Compressor Machine for the month of June were $285, and he felt that it would be well for the Town to purchase a Compressor machine wriich would cost about $1980. The Board referred the matter back to ,1r. Scamman with the request that he get bids upon the machine inasmuch as the amount would be over $1,000. Complaint was received fron. Harry G. Frost in regard to the con- dition of the town dump on Lincoln Street. It was voted to request the Supt. of Public Works therefore to "Fire" it and to erect two signs warning persons against dumping organic matter on the dump. It was decided to have a hearing on Tuesday evening next at which time the Board will " request ' q r. Robert L. Ryder to appear before them so that they may discuss the letters received from George Gibson, Fred L. Lord, and William E. Mulliken in regard . to the nuisance caused by the Ryder pigs. It was also decided to request the Town Counsel to be present at that time. It was voted to instruct the Supt. of Public Works to install seven street lights in Cary Avenue according to the authorization of the Town at the Town Meeting on June 28, 1928. Verbal application was received from Rubin & Seligman requesting additional street numbers on Mass. Avenue on the Town Hall lot where they intend to build. The Town. Engineer some time ago suggested that Mass. Avenue be re -numbered by his Department so that there will be enough numbers for several years to come. It was voted to request the Town Engineer to bring before the Board a plan of what he has in mind in regard to renumbering Mass. Avenue for its entire length through the town. , Mr. Custance brought up the fact that Mr. T. R. Keegan of Belmort , who has now purchased the Fitch estate on Nass. Avenue about opposite the High School, states that his house is situated partly in the roadway called Rowland Avenue. He suggested that if a street were laid out that it might be possible that the Town will stand some of the expense of the moving of the houserand presented figures amoa ting.to $4,296.46 showing Lost of the moving. This was submitted for the Board's consideration, but nothing was done about the matter, however. 1 ^3 The Supt. of Public Works' report for week ending June 3J, 1928 is as follows: ' Highway Department.
