Mr. Aquaro said that they had presented a similar petition before but nothing had been done. Vitale said that the matter had been discussed with Mr. Raymond.

Ross said that this should be the start of the North Lexington sewer. if the sewer was extended down Bow Street, it would involve a cost of about $22,000.00. The Chairman said that there probably would not be a meeting after the April 25th meeting until late in the Fall as there would be no money available for transfer.

H. Stevens. Mr. Potter seconded the motion and it was so voted. Mr. Clark asked if the Town used over again the sand used on icy streets in the winter and if not, if it was possible to use it again. Mr. Raymond said that it was not used over again except for filling and he did not think it could be used over again. He thought it would give a muddy surface rather than a gritty one. Mr. Clark asked if it would be worth trying and Mr. Raymond said that if it had not been tried, it could be. Mr. Ross said that it would not be practicable. Mr. Raymond said that he would look. into the matter. Bids f or road gravel. Use of sand over again 290 V Mr. Raymond said that in regard to the complaint of flooding made by St.George of Reed Street, he supposed the Town might have done something which might have accentuated the flooding. He thought that probably the flooding was worse than it was before the street was constructed. The Chairman asked if Mr. Raymond thought the Town should do anything to rectify it. He said he did not really know. The shoulder of the street was raised some inches, maybe six or eight, for a distance of fifty or sixty feet, near the old culvert that went across the street. In place of the old culvert,'the Town put in an 18 inch pipe. He did not St.George know what the dimensions of the old culvert were. He said flooding - the water probably came out onto the street before the Town Reed St. did the work so that it did not rise up as far on St.George's lawn and get as near the house as it does now. There is a drain from his cellar - three inch pipe, he thought - that went across Reed Street and had its outlet into a ditch within the limits of Reed Street. That ditch was filled in after the Town had laid the 24 inch pipe in it and the eleva- tion at the top of the pipe was about the elevation of the original ditch. At the point where the three inch drain came from St.George's cellar, they left a part of the piece of pipe open and placed some washed gravel around it'so that the pipe did not have a free vent into the drain but there was an opportunity for water to get away and that is the manner in which it is getting away now. Mr. Raymond thought ' that the way to eliminate the trouble was to block up the pipe and put an electric pump in the cellar. Some peo2)le in town have electric pumps for pumping out seepage water. Mr. Raymond said that St.George did have some trouble before 1937. The man told him that in 1937 he had had trouble but not until someone across the street had done something in the way of pipes from their land into the ditch. The water meter reader cannot recall that there was water.there before 1937. He was not sure that conditions in the way of rainfall and run-off and the combination of snow on the ground had been more frequent in the winter of 1937-1938 than they were in 1935-1936. Last week Mrs. St.George stated that they did not have any water before the big flood of 1935, but she probably meant 1936. Mr. Raymond said that if the electric pump was not put in, the only thing to do was to excavate around the house on at least three sides and put in a play cut-off wall, fill in the corner of his lot and put in a larger pipe across the street and make some additional modifihations in the drainage system. Mr. Ross suggested that St.George stop emptying his set -tub water into the cesspool and that rods be ruse into the pipe. He suggested that this be done if it did not entail any expense. He thought that this would satisfy St.George. Mr. Raymond asked if the Town had the authority to go ' into that cellar and do the work. Mr. Clark suggested that the matter be referred to the Town Counsel and said 291 that he would approve rodding out the pipe if Mr. Wright- ington approved it. Mr. Ross moved that Mr. Raymond be ' authorized to clean the pipe out, subject to the approval of the Town Counsel. Mr. Clark seconded the motion and it was so voted. Mr. Raymond said that it would cost approximately $48,000.00 to lay sewer mains to serve the Bow Street area. The connecting sewer from the manhole on the new relief sewer at the Town line going across Cataldo's land over. to Rindge Avenue would be needed and it would cost about $25,000.00. The sewers in the following streets, Albemarle, Rindge, Winn, Rawson and Melrose Avenues and Bow Street, would cost about 23,000.00. The Chairman read a letter from the Health Inspector to the effect that the sewage conditions in the area were Bow St. a definite health menace. Sewer Mr. Ross said he thought that if the State Inspectors came out to this locality, they would compel the Town to sewer it. The Chairman asked if the Board wished to submit this problem to the Town at the April 25th meeting. Mr. Raymond said that the line from the Metropolitan sewer across private lands could be done as a W.P.A. project and by so doing, the Town would save about $10,000.00. This portion of the job would cost about $15,000. plus land. takings. Mr. Rowse said he thought the project should be started with the money obtained at the last Town Meeting for Labor and Materials. Mr. Ross said that the part through private lands would be all that would be done this year. He said that the Board could get the authorization from the Town to do it and let the second portion go until next year. Mr. Rowse asked if it would jeopardize the town's chances of getting the first part done with W.P.A. help if the second part was to be done entirely with'Town labor. Mr. Raymond said that it would be necessary to state in the application that this was a budgetary job. Mr. Ross moved that an article be inserted in the Warrant to extend sewers in the streets named by Mr. Raymond Article and that the first portion of the extension be submitted as a W.P.A. project. Mr. Clark seconded the motion and it was so voted. Mr. Potter said that Thomas Whiting was waiting to see the Board. Mr. Raymond said that following the breaking of glass on Hibbert Street, he had not hired Whiting to do blastings as he thought he was too dangerous. The Chairman Whiting said that the Board held Mr. Raymond responsible for this re work.and he thought the Board should follow his recommenda- blasting tions. Mr.. Whiting appeared before the Board. He said that he had been doing blasting in town for fifty years and his ' family had paid taxes in the Town for over 90 years and he thought he should be given consideration. The Chairman told him that the Board would discuss the matter and he retired. Mr. Potter moved that the matter be left with Mr. Raymond. Mr. Rowse seconded the motion and it was so voted. 292 Barnes property Signs. A Highway Betterment Assessment of $111.09 is due on the Barnes property and the Clerk asked if this was to be abated. There is also a water bill due. The Chairman suggested that the Supt. of Public Works take up the matter with the Town Counsel and the Assessors and report on the matter of the abatement next week. The Board felt that the O'Keefe's should pay the bill for water rates and requested the Clerk to write them to that effect. The Board discussed the "Birthplace of American Lib- erty".signs at the entrances to the Town. Mr. Potter moved that..the Supt. of Public Works be instructed to do what he could so that the signs might be painted by the 19th of April. Mr. Ross seconded the motion and it was so voted. It was suggested that he contact Sarah Eddy Holmes, who donated them to the Town. The Chairman stated that the Briggs Class wanted tc Use of Hall.use Cary Hall on Sunday, April 24th, for about an hour. Mr. Ross moved that the use of the hall be granted. Mr. Potter seconded the motion and it was so voted. Irving Currier and a Mr. Eldridge appeared before the Board. Mr. Currier presented a sketch of a sign that he wished to erect. The Chairman explained that Mr. Currier had had two of these signs made up to cost $500.00 and Currier said that they had expended about $100.00 already. The signs signs are six feet by eight feet and the Town By-laws allow a sign to be only twenty square feet. The Chairman told Mr. Currier that the Selectmen did not have any authority to allow a variation from the By-laws. -Mr. Eldridge asked if there was any law as to what kind of a sign he could put on the roof. The Chairman told him that it would be better to take the matter up with the Building Inspector. They retired. Major Edward L. Child appeared before the Board. He said that the April 19th Committee was spending $500.00 -to get the parade up to the Common and he Wanted to make sure that the crowd at the Common could be handled satisfactorily. The Chairman said that he had suggested that a rope might be sufficient to hold the crowd back,but the Committee wanted to know if snow fence could be provided. The Chairman told Snow Fence him that the Board would discuss the matter and he retired. at Common The Chairman said that the Town had always taken care April 19th. of the Common and this year Mr. Raymond had turned down the request to do so because the Park Department approp- riation had been cut down so much. He talked with Mr. Raymond, however, who agreed to take care of the Common but said that he would not recommend that the snow fence be erected. Mr. Potter thought that as long as the $500.00 had been appropriated, the snow fence should be erected. Mr. Potter moved that the snow fence be placed. Mr. Rowse seconded the motion and it was so voted. CI 293 The Chairman said that the different members of the Board had received complaints relative to the storage of ' junk on Mass. Avenue opposite Sylvia Street. Mr. Potter Junk moved that the Building Inspector be instructed to check up on the matter and order the removal of the junk.

Letter was received from the Fire Engineers relative to the Boards request that they consider the matter of discontinuing the blowing of the fire whistle after six Blowing of P.M. Since 1933 the Engineers have eliminated as much as fire possible, the blowing of the whistle and since the whistle whistle. has been moved to the Cary Memorial Building, the time of elimination has been set one hour ahead so that the sound- ing of the whistle is discontinued after eight P.M. The Engineers felt that they were taking some risk in doing this and felt that they had gone their limit in their endeavor to eliminate both noise and confusion. With reference to the Slowing of sirens on apparatus, the Engineers said that if the Selectmen could so control the highways that after six P.M. there would be no traffic, they would guarantee ' to cease blowing all apparatus sirens.
