SELECTMEN'S MEETING
JULY 202 1937. '
A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was
held in the Selectmen's Room, Town Office Building, at
3:30 P.M. Chairman Ferguson, Messrs. Potter, Giroux
and Ross were present. The Clerk w.as also present.
Letter was received from the Supt. of Public Works
relative to the installation of an incinerator at the
Lincoln Street dump. The materials arriving at the
dump may be classed under two headings, one - combustible
materials and,two - non-combustible materials. Mr.
Raymond thought it would be impracticable to operate,an
incinerator unless there was a public collection of the
refuse of the Town in order that the arrival of the
refuse could be controlled during specific times of the
day and week. If this is started, much larger quantities
of material will be received than under present conditions
and it is estimated that it may amount to as much as ten
tons per day during the summer season. If an incinerat=or
is constructed, it should be built large enough to
accommodate the requirements of the Town for some years
in the future and should have, in his opinion, -a capacity
of ten tons per day based on eight hours of operation. '
This would require a grate area of approximately 50 square
feet. A firing hopper with gates to regulate the charge
of the material placed upon the grates and an overhead
crane with a grab bucket would be needed. Probably a
stack at least fifty feet in height and twenty-four inches
inside diameter should be provided. In order to provide
Incinerator housing of the crane and storage space for material
at dump. received in the winter, a steel shed, about 40' x 40'
should be provided. Mr. Raymond thought that such a plant,
with equipment, might cost between $15,000. and $20,000.
He thought it would be impracticable to operate an
incinerator without adding to the force employed to care
for the dump which would consist of at least one more
man capable of operating the loading device and taking
care of and disposing of the ash and clinker from the
incinerator. Mr. Raymond thought the present operation
of the dump, burning materials as can be burned during
the daytime, and leaving the hot coals to continue to
smoulder during the night, was better than wetting down
the dump in order to eliminate odors during the night
hours. He thought the covering of refuse with soil or
street cleanings would not reduce the odors but would
result in more objectionable odors than at present.
Mr. Giroux moved that the report be placed on file.
Mr. Ross seconded the motion and it was so voted. '
The Clerk was requested to make copies of the
report for each member of the Board.
Letter was received from the Supt. of Public Works
' stating that the watchmen at the Public Works Building
were cooperating in trying to reduce costs there as
considerable saving in light and heat was effected in
the past winter. The three watchmen are paid $.50 per
hour for a forty hour week. Patrick Deevy, the blacksmith,
is employed for forty hours a week at a wage of 3.55 per
hour. Mr. Raymond thought that Deevy should be granted
an increase to at least $.60 per hour. He thought the
watchmen should have their rate increased to $.55 per hour
in view of the contributory retirement system which has
just gone into effect. He said that there was sufficient
money in the appropriation to cover this inasmuch as the
night mechanic provided for in the budget was employed
for only a short time when it was found that he was not
regularly needed and he was transferred to the Highway
Division..
Mr. Giroux moved that the increases be approved to
be effective as of July 19th, 1937. Mr. Potter seconded
the motion and it was so voted.
Letter was received from the Supt. of Public Works
relative to the claim of Mrs. Pauline Tahre that her
land was damaged during the work on Clematis Brook by
the placing of stones on her land and within the limits
of the easement taken by the Town last January. Mrs.
Tahre stated that she had allowed some persons to
harvest the hay from the land and pasture cattle on it
from which she received remuneration amounting to $105.15
per year. Mrs. Tahre said she did not want any cash
and would not claim damages if the rocks were removed.
She claims that a fence, not in good repair, was knocked
down. Mr. Raymond said that the land had dried up in
the last few weeks and it might be possible to get on
there to remove the rocks with a truck. He estimated
that approximately 150 cubic yards of rock had been
placed along the brook channel but within the limits
of the easement. He said that the only available method
of removing the rocks was by the use of Welfare labor
and hiring a pair of horses and by making use of one
of the trucks on the Brown's Brood project to haul the
stones to that brook for rip -rapping.
Mr. Raymond informed the Board that he was putting
in returns to the value of $1.00 per ton for rocks used
at Brown's Brook.
Mr. Giroux moved that the removal of the rocks be
approved and that the method of removing them be left in
the hands of the Supt. of Public Works. Mr. Potter
seconded the motion and it was so voted.
The Qhairman informed the Board that Jerry Cataldo
spike to him about the brook backing up on his land on
Bow Street. He said that there was a dirt dam there and
wondered if it would do any good to open it up. Mr.
Raymond said that the brook was lower now than it ever

had been under the same conditions. Cataldo is also com-
plaining about the dump that Arlington has there and he
claims that that town is dumping in Lexington. The
Chairman requested Mr. Raymond to call on Cataldo and
see if anything could be done on the brook and if Arl-
ington was dumping in Lexington. Mr. Raymond said that
there wasnotmuch use in doing anything more than
removing the dam until Arlington continues its work on
the brook in Arlington.
Mr. Raymond informed the Board that the stone on
which the Captain Parker monument is mounted is badly
cracked. This is the third stone, including the
original, on which the monument has been mounted and a
lot of time has been spent in selecting the stones. Mr.
Garrity has been in touch with Mr. Kitson, the sculptor,
and in his last letter dated July 16, 1937, he states that
a new stone must have the proportions of the present one.
He said that if the statue would stand for the summer,
he would like to talk the matter over with Mr. Garrity
and select a new stone. Mr. Raymond said he judged
that Mr. Kitson felt that he had charge of the statue, but
he thought that an engineer might save some money in
maintenance of the statue. He said he thought it might
be practicable to have a patent and casting made of
the stone on which the statue now stands if it could be
colored and painted to suit Kitson. There are dowls in
the stone about eightinches long which are leaded in
and Mr. Raymond said that when these were used, the dowls
were subject to movement because lead expands and con-
tracts. He said that there was about $319. available in
the fund for the maintenance of the statue. The
Chairman suggested that Mr. Raymond obtain the cost of
having the casting of the stone made and then talk with
Mr. Kitson to get his reaction to the plan and report to
the Board.
Mr. Raymond said that Maurice Page was claiming a
Page Land. piece of land in Great Meadows and told him that the
Town was having some difficulty in getting a Land Court
title to it. He offered to pay the 1937 taxes in the
amount of $26.80 if the Board would abate the previous
three or four years? taxes. No action was taken on the
matter.
Vacation Mr. Raymond brought up the subject of a vacation for
for Miss Hilda Smith, who has been employed by the Town an average
Smith. of two days per week and the rest of the time by the
National Youth Movement. He wondered if she was entitled
to a vacation. No action was taken on the matter.
Mr. Raymond asked if the Board would approve filling
the bins at the Public Works Building without taking
bids on the coal. The bins have a capacity of twenty ton -

u
He has received a price of $7.10 per net ton from the
Lexington Coal Co. He will not need coal at the Cary
Memorial Building until November and he thought that then
bids should be taken. Mr. Giroux moved that the Supt..
of Public Works be authorized to purchase sufficient coal
to fill the bins at the Public Works Building but that bids
be taken for future requirements. Mr. Potter seconded
the motion and it was so voted.
Mr. Raymond reported on the drainage facilities in
Hibbert Street. There is a thirty inch corrugated pipe
in Mass. Avenue and a thirty inch corrugated pipe going
through tome filled lands over across the railroad tracks.
He said that if a driin was installed in Hibbert Street to
the thirty inch pipe in Mass. Avenue, it would take about
all the funds appropriated for Hibbert Street construction
as the drain, plus the connection at Mass. Avenue, would
cost about $1900. if built of cast iron. He thought it
would be a mistake to build it of concrete pipe as it
would wear through in three years. He said that Arlington
had no funds available in the Hibbert Street appropriation
to build the drain in Lexington. Lexington did not
include drainage in the appropriation for Hibbert Street
construction as no drain is required as far as Lexington
is concerned. Mr. Raymond talked over the matter with
the Town Counsel who said that diversion could probably
be proved if it was found that Arlington had built its drain
without the consent of the Town of Lexington.
After discussion, the Chairman was authorized to write
the Arlington Board of Public Works stating that the Town
of Lexington had no objection to Arlington making a
connection to the drain on Mass. Avenue provided it would
lay the drain in Hibbert Street and mate the connection
at Mass. Ave. and repair the pavement in Mass. Avenue.
Mr. Raymond said that Harry Johnson had applied for
nine sewer and water services in Daniels and Aerial
Streets. The estimated cost of the water extensions is
$2820. and $1660. for the sewer extensions. At a recent
meeting of the Board, it was voted that water would not be
laid in these streets unless Johnson did the excavating,
and Mr. Raymond estimated that it would cost $200. less
for each street for both water and sewer if Johnson did
the excavating but he would not recommend it. One house
is partly built and one cellar has been started on Daniels
Street but nothing has been started on Aerial Street.
Mr. Ross moved that an article be inserted in the
Warrant for the next Town Meeting to see if the Town would
authorize the installation of these services. Mr. Giroux
seconded the motion and it was so voted.
Letter was received from Lulu M. Blake requesting
that a hydrant be installed in front of 18 Oakmount
Circle where she is building a residence. Mr. Ross said

as though the best thing to do was to start spraying all

on four or five men. This might make the tree approp-
riation short by $400. or $500. but he did not know how
it was going to come out. Mr. Giroux moved that what
Mr. Raymond had done be approved. Mr. Potter seconded
the motion and it was so voted.

Mr. Potter seennded the motion and it was so voted.
Letter was received from Ralph H. Wells, M.D.,
stating that about four weeks ago he had some plumbing '
done at his house and the town Plumbing Inspector made
an examination without comment on the work. A few days
wells - later, State inspectors made another examination and
plumbing deemed at a loss to know the reason for complaint, if
there was one. H. T. Moulton Co. of Cambridge was the
plumber. Dr. Wells asked why it was necessary for the
Town Inspector to make a complaint regarding the work.
The Chairman said that the H. T. Moulton Co. did not take
out the permit but got someone else to take it out and
that is strictly against the State rules and regulations,
so the Plumbing Inspector reported it to the State Board.
1r. Giroux moved that the Plumbing Inspector be requested
to make a report on the matter. Mr. Potter seconded the
motion and it was so voted.
