A petition for a referendum vote on the proposed new High School was received. The petition was signed by 291 persons.

Meeting held on October 21st. The letter stated that based upon this formal notification, Nir. Parker's office had recommended recision of the grant previously offered on each of the above mentioned dockets. The letter stated further that all contracts for construe- tiouireder the current P.:'J.A. program must be awarded by Dec. 15th and as the date set for the proposed referendum vote in Lex_.ngton was so late, it would preclude the pos- sibility of meeting this requirement which has been estab- lished by the President.

Avenue, but they could get only a very small stream of water from the hydrant. Chief Taylor thought that the main supply in Sylvia Street must be inadequate and that ttn.uxten-_. Sion of ten inch pipe was needed. It?. Trask thought that an extension of this size pipe would cost approximately $4000. He stated that there was no money in the appropriation for Sundry Streets to do this work at the present time, but he suggested that an article be placed in the warrant for the ' next Town Meeting requesting an appropriation for this extension. No action was t aken on the matter. The. Supt. of Public Works reported that the old water pipe from the Reservoir to the pumping station was being abandoned the that the only houses getting water from this old pipe were as follows: one on Middleby Road occupied by Frank Barry and two on Lincoln Street which were connected before the main wa: laid in Lincoln Street.

The Sart. of Public ',7orks reuorted that he had attended the hearing on the traffic regulation "No Heavy Trucking, Hancock and Adams Streets" on Goober 23rd and that Mr. Lyman presided at the hearing. There were twenty- two residents of Hancock and Adams Streets present. The only opposition came from Mr. Drew, the Attorney for the Truck Drivers Assoc. Air. Lyman was in sympathy with the regulation but under Chapter 90, it is stated specifically that it is not legal to stop truck traffic on streets between towns and therefor under the law truck traffic could not be prohibited on Adams Street, but that it could be prohibited on Hancock Street.

The Supt. of Public "Norks reported that Belmont had come in with a request for the construction of Noll Street Chapter from the Belmont line to the 71averley Oaks Road under Chap - 90 Work. ter 90 and he thought that if this were approved, it would not be fair for Lexington to leave i°datertown Street in the condition that it is now and he recommended that the $15,000. that the Town has asked for for the maintenance of Waltham Street be applied to this street. The Chairman stated that he mould prefer that the work be done on Waltham Street and Air. Potter agreed with him. The Chairman suggested that the Supt. of Public `,Yorks submit as a Chapter 90 job the construction of Watertown Street from the new Concord Turnpike to the Belmont Line, and stated that an article could be inserted in .the warrant for a Town Meeting to authorize the above when and if Belmont's project was approved. The Supt. of Public Works reported that Mr. J. 04 Richards had $250. coming to him from the Highway Department Richards for placing Compensation insurance, and he suggested that bill. two checks be made out, one payable to the Town for the amount that Richards owes to the town for an old sewer service (179.18) and that the other be made payable to Richards.
