Bill of $60. was received from the American Legion for
services rendered on Memorial Dag.
It appears from the bill as though the Legion desired to
use up the balance of the appropriation made for Memorial
Bill from Dag and place the balance into their own treasury.
Legion The bill was referred to Mr. Lyons to get an itemised bill
from the Legion of the expenditures made under this bill.
Copy of letter was received by the Supt. of the Water
and Sewer Dept. -from the Metropolitan District Commission
in which they reported that the proposed pipe line and res-
ervoir to be constructed under Chapter 333 of the Acts of 1934
to reinforce Belmont, Watertown and Arlington water service
will not furnish sufficient pressure for Lexington and that
Met. there will have to be another connection made by the Town of
Reservoir Lexington when the service is needed.
Mr. Ross favored the Bill at the hearing owing to the fact
that he felt that they were to have an outside standpipe, and
this would assist Lexington, but the final decision was to have
a reservoir and it therefor will be of no benefit to the Town
of Lexington.

Water to make the Walnut Street water connection and the Town quo nsel
Connection should draw up the agreement to be signed in this connection.
