Kane, Town Treasurer, came before the Board and informed them ibat the Town Collector, Mr. Earle had teAdered him assistance by letting his clerk do his work for hitq, and now informs him that he cannot render him any further assistance. He stRted that he had not taken a vacation for five years since he has been here and neither has he b"nrable to complete his work in the regular hours, and he has worked various nights. For this reason he asked that he be given some assistance. At least to take the place of the work done by Mr. Earle's clerk. Inasmuch as vacations are now about to take place, the Board felt that the employ- ment of another clerk for a period of perhaps four, months would give opportunity to have a clerk wring the absence of the other clerks on vacations ana render some assistance to the Town Treasurer. The Clerk was authorized, therefore, to employ an additional clerk for this period of time, if the appropriation for the Board of Selectmen would. render this service available. Gauge. Inasmuch as the opening in the Supt. of Public Works Office for a gauge for the water pressure was not connected up properly, it was decided to allow the installation of a gauge on the lower hall wall near the entrance to the basement. IT egard to the application of the Lexington Lumber a maintain a sign 8 x 81 on the south side of Marrett 'load 3/4 of a mile from Lincoln Street on the land of William P. Martin, it was decided to Lex. Lumber Co. let this sign remain and grant permission for its sign. location. Mr. Custance reported that Ile had taken up with Mr. Wnddell's office, Director of Accounts, the subject of traffic signals and he found that the Act which Mr, Briggs and Mr. Wrightington referred to did not in any way affect the installation of traffic signals by the Town unless they intend to arrange a contract for rental of the signals. He stated that the Chapter which was in reference to the Traffic Signals was Chapter 357 of the Acts of 1928, and under that Chapter the Town had only to secure the approval of the State of the signals and locations installed. He, therefore, communicated with the State House and Mr. Taylor came tq Lexington and together with Mr. Bills they reviewed the intended locations of the traffic signals, and he stated Mr. Taylor was in accord with the locations. Mr.. Custance recommended the use of the traffic signal installed by Mr. Bills, namely the Tokeim signal. It was therefore decided to install two traffic signals at Clarke St., & Massachusetts Avenue, and one at Elm Avenue at this time. It was voted to request Mr. Bills to submit a proposal on traffic signals at Marrett Road & Waltham Street, Clarke Street and Massachusetts Avenue Ind Massachusetts Avenue and Elm Avenue at Bedford Street as laid out by Mr. Taylor and Mr. Custance. It was decided tocooperate with the Town of Winchester in renuesting the Edison Company to reduce their rates charged on four school houses in Lexington, inasmuch as the present rate allowed is more than rates allowed to private individuals. The petition to the Edison Company prepared by the Town of Winchester was therefore signed by the Boprd. Traffic Signals. E.E.I. Ch. School house rates.
