section, the State thought it best to allow the present
operation to continue. That Department felt that the

section was completed.

side of Watertown Street called for another traffic island .
No action was taken on the matter.

house near completion on Taft Avenue which is 150 feet
beyond the Iresent end of the water and sewer mains. The
estimated cost of water and sewer extensions for this
distance is $1125.00. There is an available balance in
the Taft Avenue, Cary and Cherry Streets appropriation
for water and sewer mains of $666.84. Mr. Raymond wanted
to know if the balance needed could be paid from Water
and Sewer construction, Sundry Streets. The Chairman
stated that if an amount of work which the appropriation
was intended to cover had not been done, that the balance
in the appropriations could be used and he thought that

could be taken from the Sundry Streets account.

authorized to proceed with the installation of the water
and sewer mains, the cost to be charged in accordance
with the Puling of the Town Accountant. Mr. Potter

the middle of the brook. Mr. Ross said that he remembered
going in and cleaning out the ditch on various occasions.
Mr. Giroux moved that Dr. John M. Murray be advised
that inasmuch as the ditch was on private property,, the
Town could assume no responsibility and therefor could
do nothing about repairing the bank. Mr. Ross seconded
