A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held in the Selectmen►s Room, Town Office Building, at 7:30 P. M. Messrs. Ferguson, Lyons and Potter were present. The Clerk was also present. At 7:30 P.M. Mr. Wrightington and Mr. Longbottom appeared before the Board to discuss granting of a license to keep a horse in a residential district. Mr. Wrightington stated that in his opinion a stable in an R.1 District would come under an accessory use - the same as a henhouse, dog house or pigeon house. He thought that a private stable would really come under the same category as a private garage. Mr. Longbottom thought that under the Zoning Laws, section 9 (g) it would not be permitted as that section says in part that "a Board of Appeals hearing may be held to permit in any district any use obviously intend- ed ----- but ntend-ed-----but which has not been specifically mentioned". Mr. Wrightington stated that he thought that that section of the Zoning Law had been inserted to take care of anything that had been omitted from the Zoning Laws and would not refer to the maintenance of a private stable. He also thought that "a stabl,6" as referred to In the Zoning Lave and the Board of Health Regulations meant a commercial stable and not a private stable. N1r. Longbottom stated that he had received an application from Parrs. William H. Driscoll of Winthrop Road for a permit to make an addition to her barn for the purpose of keeping two horses and that he had not granted the permit. The Board felt that it would be all right for him to grant permit provided the work was done in accordance with the Building Laws. The Board instructed the Clerk to advise Mr. James Brown E. Brown of 450 77altham Street that he would be given a stable. permit to keep a horse when he had disposed of the pigeons he is now 'keeping and had provided a en.itable place to keep the horse, The Town Counsel reported that he had been unable to get a restraint order on the erection of the bill- board on the property at the corner of P,1arrett Road and Waltham Street owned by the Medford Trust Company. Mr. Roy Wilkins is the attorney for the Donnelly Advertising Co. who own the sign, and Mr. 111rightington called at his office and asked him if he would accept service, and Mr. Wilkins said that he would. Mr. Wilkins called Mr. Wrightington later and said that he could not accept service as Judge Maloney of Ayer was going to handle the case. Mr. Wrightington called Judge Maloney who said 01 y 1 Mr. Lyons stated that he had received a complaint with regard to the ,junk yard on Sylvia Street maintained by Leo A. Boynton. Boynton The Building Inspector stated that Boynton had Junk applied for a permit to rebuild his two car garage which Yat.d. Was burned a few weeks agro and lie had refused the permit. Mr. Lyons stated that Mr. Zacharias, the person who had complained to him, was going to be represented by counsel at next Tuesday e'vening's meeting to discuss the matter. The Town Counsel stated that upon receipt of the Board's letter in regard to the nuisance at the Koines property at 1404 Mass. Avenue, he had written to Koines, Koines who telephoned him and stated that he was willing to con- casee nett with the sewer but that he wanted his own contractor to do the work. Mr. !Nrightington talked with Supt. Ross of the Sewer Dept. who stated that the pipe would have to be laid by the Town men as this had always been the custom although there was no regulation covering the same. Mr. Trask had sumgested that if Koines wished to do his ' own work and pay a town insn_ector to supervise it, that it would be;all'right Mr. Ross figures that it would cost $8.00 per day for an inspector. Mr. Wrightington stated that Koines could be compelled to connect with the sewer under the Board of Health Regulations, and he sug- that he would get in touch with the men working on the ' billboard and tell them to stop wort; but that evidently this had not been done. It seems that the billboard is on the land which was taken over by the Medford Trust Co. and there was some argument over the rent of the land between the bank and the Donnelly Company and as a result the bank tore down the billboard. A new one has since Donnelly been erected and I:Irs. Hinckley of I:Iarrett Road, the person bill - who made a complaint on the matter, stated that she be- board lieved that it was larger than the original billboard, and case. Mr. Longbottom stated that he thought that it was about a third larger. As yet there has been no advertisement placed on the billboard. Shortly after Judge Maloney had taken over the case, Mr. Edward Donnelly returned from his honeymoon in Hawaii and decided that he wanted Mr. Wilkins to handle the case and 'eNilkins accepted service. Mr. Wrightington stated that Wilkins did not want him to try this case as he has some other cases in other towns before the Supreme Court and Mr. Wrightington advised him that he would decide if he would try the case when he had received an answer to his service. Mr. Wrightington thought that it would not cost very much to try the case in the lower Court but there was no doubt that the Donnellyt -would `carry the matter to the Supreme Court. Mr. Lyons thought that the Town Counsel should go ahead and prosecute the case. The motion was duly made and seconded that the Town ' Counsel be instructed to prosecute the case as quickly as possible and it was so voted. Mr. Lyons stated that he had received a complaint with regard to the ,junk yard on Sylvia Street maintained by Leo A. Boynton. Boynton The Building Inspector stated that Boynton had Junk applied for a permit to rebuild his two car garage which Yat.d. Was burned a few weeks agro and lie had refused the permit.

Cdell, representing the Edison Co. appeared in favor of the application and Mr. Toros Bashian appeared in opposition. The notice of the hearing was read by "the Chairman. Mr. Odell stated that the poles are eight feet out- side of the property line and that no poles nor wires are to b e on private land. P;r. Bashian stated that he was objecting because his brother, Mr. Bedros Bashian, was ill in the hospital and therefor unable to appear at the hearing. He asked that the hearing be postponed. The Chairman stated that it would be impossible to postpone the hearing and asked Mr. Bashian if he had been authorized by his brother to voice any particular objection to the petition. Mr. Bashian stated that he was not but that he was merely objecting because his brother was unable to attend. The Chairman stated that that was no real objection and declared the hearing closed. Mr. Odell and Pr Bashian retired. Upon motion duly made and seconded, the Board voted to grant the permit. Mr. Franklin W. Coleman appeared before the Board and stated that he should have appeared at last week's meeting to present a plan of the Steeves garage which is to be erected at Grassland Street, but that he had forgotten all about it. He presented the plan of the proposed garage, and the Board voted to grant the permit subject to the approval of the Building Inspector. The Chairman stated that when Congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers was here last week, he had spoken to her about an extension of time on the P.W.A. projects which are to be voted upon next week. A telegram had been received from Mrs. Rogers which stated that it was impos- sible to grant the town's request for an extension of time beyond December 15th for filing the contracts, and it urged that the Town do everything possible to execute at least one contract on each project by that time if the referendum authorized the acceptance of the Government offers. Letter was received from the Town Counsel with regard to the Ryder health menace on 1.17altham Street, which stated that the Board of Health might order the €swner to remove the nuisance and that the order must be in writing and served by any person authorized tos erve civil processes. If the owner failed to comply with the order, the Board might cause the nuisance to be removed and charge the expense incurred thereby to the person causing the nuisance. 143 Pole location, Marrett Road. Steeves Garage hearing. P.W.A. projects. Ryder health menace. 144 Ryder health menace. The Clerk reported that Tb?. Ryder had taken steps to abate the nuisance by covering the ground with gravel and cleaning up the floor of the building used for the washing of garbage cans and that apparently the matter was being taken care of satisfactorily. The Chairman asked the Town Counsel what the procedure would be to stop the Ryders from washing the garbage cans on the premises. He stated that the Ryders had been for- bidden to conduct a piggery business on 17altham Street and he thought that the washing of the cans was a business accessory to the piggery business and that it should not be allowed in a residential zone. The Town Counsel stated that the next step would be for the Building and Health Inspectors to go over to the property and get evidence as to the number of trucks being used and the number of men actually working there. The Board voted to instruct the two inspectors to get such evidence and report at the next meeting of the Board. Cn y L Mr. Wrightington stated that the Ryder drainage case was scheduled to start on Yonday, November 18th and that Ryder the Ryder Tax Title cases were scheduled for Friday, drainage November 22nd. Mr. Wrightington has requested that the case & drainage case be suspended on November 22nd so that the tax Tax Title foreclosure cases might be tried. He stated that title there were 14 tax titles sent to him and that one was no cases. good and there are three others which are probably bad. The descriptions which were given for the tax sales omitted some conveyances which made the sales defective. Mr. 101rightington stated that Mr. Raymond of Metcalf & Eddy was supposed to be in Lexington about a month ago but that he was just getting around to coming out here. The Town Counsel explained the Ryder drainage case to him and told him to get in touch with the Town Engineer on the matter. He did not think that it would be necessary for Mr. Raymond to be in Court all the time. Metcalf & Eddy will not charge the fee for ordinary Court work but will charge at the rate which is being paid for work being done by them in Lexington. Mr. Raymond had been doing some work for Eldridge Anderson's office and they had requested him to serve as an expert in the Ryder drainage case but he told them that he had already been retained by the Town of Lexington. The Town Counsel stated that he believed that the Town was going to be defeated in the Ross case. 'then the Ross case was tried, Mr. Scamman testified that he never made a case. record of orders for work such as A. Ross & Son had done and that when the work was completed the bills were present- ed but that he had mislaid them and consequently forgot about them. Tie stated that about a couple of years later, the Ross.concern had a large contract and needed some money so he paid them 1400.00. Mr. Wrightington stated that there seemed to he some question in Judge Nilson's mind as to who should reimburse Mr. Scamman and that decision in the case had not been made. Mr. Wrightington stated that when the Town pays Ross it should stipulate that Mr. Cn y L 1 145 Scamman is to be paid his {400.00. Letter was received from the Town Counsel with regard to the Anna Korman water guaranty. Mr. Wrightington had Korman obtained judgment and started preliminary proceedings Water against Mrs. 'Yormar,... Judge Northrup appeared for her and Guaranty. made an offer of settlement for $125.00 of which $50.00 is to be paid in December and the balance in three monthly payments of $25.00 each. Mr. 101rightington recommerided this settlement and the Board voted to approve his recommendation. Mr. ':Vrightington stated that one James McGann owing a McGann water guaranty in the Lexington Farms Development had re- Water tained an attorney and that the attorney was supposed to Guaranty appear before the Board at to -night's meeting. However, the attorney did not appear. The Board voted to establish the following rates of pay for the Election Officers who are to serve at the Pay for Election Special Election on Monday, November 18th: Wardens - $"11.00; Officers, all other election officers - $7.00; Charles Moloy, Constable, $6.00. A notice was received to the effect that Mr, Fred B. Teller Bartlett of 104 Bedford Street was unable to serve as Teller in in Precinct Four because of ill health. The Board therefor Precinct voted to appoint Charles P. McEnroe of Cedar Street as Four. Teller in Precinct Four for the ensuing year. The E.R.A. report for the weel_, ending Nov. 7th was received and approved. Letter was received from the Town Counsel asking if there was anything more for him to do in the case of claims of the Town against Johrj P.?c"enzie and Paul Kelley. The Clerk reported that both had been making weekly payments and therefor nothing more was to be done. The letter also stated that the Town Counsel had re- ceived no answer to his demand on Yrs. 'dilliar,I G. Collins and he stated that he would have to bring suit. The Board felt that inasmuch as Mr. Collins is receiv- ing Soldiers' Relief, it would be useless to bring suit, and it was therefor voted to a -bate the charge against Pars. William G. Collins. Letter was received from the State Dept. of Public ',Works which stated that snow would be cleared from the follow ng streets for the year December 1, 1935 to December 19 36 : Auto Route No. From to Length (Miles) 2 Entire Length 3.65 2-A All.
