' SELECTMEN'S MEETING
Jan, 3rd, 1940.
A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held in
the Selectmen's Room, Town Office Building, at 7:30 P.M.
Chairman Giroux, Messrs, Potter, Rowse, Locke and Sarano were
present. The Clerk was also present.
At 7:30 P.M. Mr, John W. Raymond, Jr., Supt. of Public Works,
Mr. E.A. Lindstrom, Plumbing Inspector, and the following
plumbers appeared: Mr. Charles E. Collins, Lester Andrews,
Vernon C. Page and William A. Coakley.
"The Chairman informed the group that the meeting had been
called to discuss a proposed change in the charges for permits
.He stated that the Selectmen did not want the plumbers to get Plumbing

of them and were not picking on them or any other group. He
said if this Board or other Boards were negligent in not es-
tablishing charges that conformed with those in other communities,
then the matter should be rectified as soon as possible. He
said the Selectmen had been considering making some specific
charges for alterations or replacements of plumbing fixtures.
The Chairman said the following fees had been suggested:
New Construction,: The base charge for a plumbing permit shall
e §2*00 plus 25� per fixture and 25¢ for each future
fixture connection or appliance.
Alteration Replacement: The-nbase charge for a plumbing permit
shall e ,00 plus 25 cents per fixture and 25cents
for each future fixture connection or appliance.
Mr. Page said that this would add considerable to the
permit costs. The present rate is $2.00 with no charge for extra
fixtures. One replacement would cost $1.25 where it costs
nothing now. He thought this would add to the burden on the
plumbers and that all the taxpayers would not have to share
the burden. Page said he was not in favor of having any
charges.
Mr. Lindstrom said that if he issued a permit for two
fixtures in the future it would cost $1900 and under the present
system it cost $1.25,
Mr. Andrews said that on a new house with five fixtures
the charge would be 03.25. He thought that Lexington needed
something so that the Plumbing Inspector could check up on
outsiders doing work here. He said he knew in times past,
work had been done by outsiders where no permit had been
taken out. He said that if a plumber saw that some fixtures
had been replaced, he could check up with the Plumbing
Inspector to see if a permit had been taken out.
Mr. Lindstrom pointed out that the change would make it
' cost less for replacements than it does now.
Mr. Potter asked what a fixture connection was, and
574
Lindstrom said that it was something left in a house for a
'
future connection. A plumber will rough in a house and leave
a connection for a fixture there but will not do the work until
some later date.
Mr. Coakley said that he did not do much work here but
thought it was up to the citizens to decide,.as they had to
pay for,the work. He said that there was no charge whatsoever
in Winchester.' The Plumbing Inspector there refuses to collect
any money as he feels that that is the collector's job.
If the department needs revenue, and the Town.feels that this
is the way to get it -- it is a matter of opinion.
,just
Mr. Sarano asked if this was going to complicate business
Supposing a Dlumbe-r went into a house after having obtained a
permit and found that there was more work to be done than he
expected, he wondered if it would be necessary to go down and
get a revised permit. Mr.. Lindstrom said that all the plumber
would have to do would be to report the extra fixture andpay
the extra quarter.
Mr. Rowse asked why the plumbers would not benefit by a
much closer inspection, and Mr.. Page said that the inspection
was close enough now. Mr. Rowse asked if there was additional
inspection required under the proposed set-up and Mr. Lindstrom
replied in the negative.
Mr. Page said he did not favor the proposed change and
did not see how it would cost a man more money. Mr. Andrews said
he had no objection to the proposed change. Mr..Coakl,ey
'
did not believe the change would help matters any and that the
advisability of it was a matter of opinion. Mr. Page objected
strenuously and Mr. Collins thought it would cost a man more money
on replacements,
The Chairman told the group that the matter would.be dis-
cussed further, and they:retired at 8:05 P.M.
After some discussion on the matter, Mr. Rowse moved
that the following plumbing permit rates be established:
New Construction: The base charge for a plumbing permit shall
be $2.QO plus 25 cents per fixture and 25 cents for
each future fixture connection or appliance.
Alteration Replacement: The base charge for a plumbing permit
9 all be §1,001us 25 cents per fixture and 25 cents
for each future fixture connection or.appliance.
Mr. Saran seconded the motion and --it was so voted.
At 8:10 P.M. Chief Sullivan and Sergeant Russell appeared
before the Board.
The Chief said that he had received the Board's letter
relative to placing a maximum speed sign on Pleasant Street
Police and that while he was in accord with the uian who made the
matters. complaint, he did not -believe that anything could be done on
enforcing the speed limit there because there is no congestion.
The Chairman explained to the Chief the main reason for re- '
questing the sign to be erected, which is because Pleasant
Street is the entrance to Lexington from the Concord Turnpike.
575
' The Chief said that we could not put up signs that would
interfere with the State Law. However, he said he could see
the Chairman's point and thought it was a good one. The Board
therefor asked him if he would order the sign and place it
wherever he thought best. The Chairman asked him to go down.
to see Mr. Shanahan and explain the situation to him and he
agreed to do that.
The Chairman informed the Chief that the people on
Hancock Street still complained about the speeding there.
General traffic conditions were discussed.
Mr. Sarano asked if the lights going off at twelve
o'clock.ineonvenienced the Police Department, and the Chief
replied in the affirmative. He said he would prefer to have
the street lights on all night, of course.
Mr. Rowse asked if there was some advantage to having
the.police car painted white, and the Chief said he thought
there were some advantages. However, he would like to think
the matter over before deciding whether or not he would
recommend it for Lexington. The Chairman asked him to find
out tha cost of painting the police cars white and to inform
the Board. They retired at 8:30 P.M.
Letter was received from A.P. Rounds, contractor on
the North Lexington 'Pumping Station, asking for, an exteneion-
of time of 119 days on the completion of his cntract. Mr.
Round's letter listed the reasons for his request.
At 8:30 P.M. Mr. Raymond, Supt. of Public Works and
Messrs. Alden, Whitman and Wentworth of Metcalf & Eddy,
appeared before the Board.
Mr. Raymond said that he understood the Selectmen had
received a letter from Mr. A.P. Rounds dated December 30th
and that that letter included some new things. He said he Rounds
did -not know if Mr. Eddy had seen the letter, but Mr. Whitman contract*
said that Mr. Eddy had seen it but had not had an opportunity
to study it. Mr. Raymond said they thought that tonight this
matter might possibly be taken up in the nature of a statement
by Mr. Rounds followed by a recommendation or statement by
Metcalf &Eddy. It develops that,Mr. Rounds is having new
ideas and Mr. Raymond said it seemed best to conduct this
hearing as an opportunity for Rounds to explain his case to
the Board and that Metcalf &Eddy would like to have a copy
of the record. He said probably it would be best not to ask
questions, even when Rounds said something that would indicate
that a reply should be made by Metcalf & Eddy. He said that
if Messrs. Wentworth and Vaitman were iff a position to say
anything when Rounds got through, all right, but Mr. Raymond
said he believed they wished to listen and make a study of
the information Mr. Rounds gave.
' The -Chairman asked the other members of the Board if
they had any objection to Metcalf & Eddy being given a copy
of the record of the present discussion, and there was no
objection.
Mr. Whitman said that probably Rounds did not ow of
the vote of the Board regarding liquidated damages, and
unless they had to, he thought it best not to menti n any-
thing about liquidated damages.
Mr. Rounds appeared before the Board at 8:45 -P.M.
The Chairman informed him that the Selectmen were ready
to listen to anything he had to say to them. Mr. Rounds
said that the meeting was called to see if there was some way
they could get the job settled up. He said he understood Mr.
Eddy was coming out. Mr.'Nentworth said that he represented
Mr. Eddy as he was unable to be here. Mr. Rounds said that
when Mr. Eddy and he talked about this matter., the,gist"of
the conversation was to try in some way to geta completion
date and final estimate on the Rounds contract. `At the
present time, there remains to be done weather-stripping on
the doors and windows, for which he has just received an
extra work order, and this work is apt to delay,the completion
another two or three weeks. He said tha this was not in
the contract and there ought to be jome way to straighten
out the whole matter and complete the job.
The Chairman asked Rounds if there was„ anything he
wished to say relative to his letter of December:30th.— Mr.
Rounds said what he had to say was set forth clearly in that
letter. The Chairman said that he merely thought Rounds
might want to add something to it. He said the Board had
nothing to say as it had had ,no chance to study the ,question,:
it merely wanted to listen'to what Rounds.had to say and after
that, it would study the matter.
Mr. Rounds said the main thing was to find some way
to get the job finished up and if the Board had.any suggestions
he would be glad to hear them.
The Chairman asked Mr. Raymond if there was anything
he wished to say. Mr. Raymond replied that he understood
Rounds wanted to appear before the Board of Selectmen.
Rounds said he was in Mr. Eddyts office last week and in his
discussion with„Mr. Eddy, they thought that a common ground
could be found in relation to the completion of the job.if
they got together with the Selectmen and talked the thing
over. He said'there had been no work done on. the pumping
station for nearly two months.- He said he was not getting
completion or his final estimate. Mr. Wentworth asked
Rounds if he wanted to do the extra work order. Rounds said
he did not care about doing it; he would rather not d6 it if
it was going to delay completion another two or three weeks..
Mr. Raymond said that the Town wanted the work done somehow.
Rounds said that if left P.W.A. Qut of it, he thought he could
get the work done for about one -half -the cost and it would not
cost the Town any more. He said the man he had figured th3'
job said he could not come here for less than $50.00. He said
the trouble was that some people did not care.to bother with
P.W.A. work now, Mr. Wentworth said that it was just a
4

u
577
' small job of weatherstripping a few doors and windows and that
it would take a very short time. Mr: Rounds said that a good
reputable concern said it was likely that the work would take
two weeks. He said the specifications were not very definite,
did not exactly say what was.to be done. Mr. Wentworth said
that t;hgy could not give Rounds a date of completion until
the weather-stripping work work was done. Mr. Rounds said that
the way the contract read, he would say that the engineers
could order him to-do the work and it would have to be done.
He said that that was one way of getting the work completed.
The Chairman said that the Selectmen depended on the
engineers to work out matters such as these with the contractor
and they were not supposed to listen to small details. Mr.
Wentworth asked the Board to kindly understand that Mr. Rounds
asked for this 'hearing to see if he -could get an extension of
time.. He said there were things in his letter of December,30th
that Metcalf & Eddy had never heard of before.
The Chair4nan said he thought it was up to Rounds to get
together -with Metcalf & Eddy adld work out the details of the
matter. He said that if Rounds'wanted to say anything, he
wanted to give him every fair chance to do so. He asked Mr.
Rounds again if he wished to say anything. Rounds said that
his letter of December 30th covered the extension of time as
well as if he fold'the whole story.
The Chairman said that this was merely wasting time
talking over technical matt.ers. Round's said the most import-
ant thing was getting the job completed and that was something
that could be done if everybody agreed that was the thing to
do.
The Chairman said that we had a Supt. of Public Works
and the town employed engineers to report through him to the
Selectmen, and the Government has engineers, and all these
people would have to get together and report their recommenda-
tion to the Selectmen., Mr. Rounds asked if it would be in
order if the group withdraw and discussed the matter and
reported to the Selectmen later on in the evening. The
Chairman said that he could not say whether or not the
engineers and Mr. Raymond were prepared to state that they
would arrive at a decision this evening, but the group could
withdraw and discuss the matter. When Mr. Rounds is ready
to make a recommendation to the Selectmen, all right. Mr.
Wentworth said that he was willing to sit down tonight with
Mr. Rounds to .see what he wanted and what could be done on
the whole matter.
The group retired at 8:55 P.M.
Mr. Morse appeared before the Board to discuss Welfare Welfare
matters.
The Chairman said that there was $830.92 left in Public
' Welfare funds and their unpaid bills for Somerville and the
Pondville Hospital total $1233.36,.leaving a shortage of Welfare

that the Selectmen request the Appropriation Committee to res-
cind $250. of the $1500. made available for Snow Removal and .
that the sum of $2400* be transferred from the Reserve Fund to
the Public Welfare Expenses account. Mr. Sarano seconded the
motion and it was so voted.
Letter was received from Mr. Fred W. Longbottom,
Building Inspector, giving the Selectmen formal notice of
the termination of his services as Building Inspector as of
Resigna- January 31st, 1940. The Chairman asked Mr. Potter to
tion of telephone to Mr. Longbottom and ask him if he would.consider
Building taking a leave of absence. Mr. Potter telephoned to Mr.
Inspector.Longbottczr,q,but Mr. Longbottom said that he would not consider
taking a leave of absence because his health was very poor.
Mr. Rowse moved that Mr. Longbottomv.s resignation be accepted
with the sincere regret of the Board of.Selectmen inasmuch as
his services have been most valuable to the Town of Lexington
during the period of his appointment'beginning.in 1931. Mr.
Potter seconded the motion, and it was so voted.
Forest Mr. Potter moved that Mr. Edward W. Taylor be appointed

Lexington.
Letter was received from the Appropriation Committee
stating that at various times they have requests for trans-
fers from the Reserve Fund for extra clerical hire. The Clerical
Committee felt that in many cases, this extra expense could hire,
be avoided by the temporary loan of a d�1erk from some other
department which happened to be slack at the moment. The
Committee felt that if the various departments were instructed
to confer with Mr. Raymond when in urgent need of extra clerical
help and he would make every effort to obtain this assistance,
from some other department, worth while pavings would result.
The Committee also felt that a survey should be made of the
office records detail of the various departments to see whether
any non-essential work wgs being carried on.
Thb Clerk was instructed to give Mr. Raymond a copy of
the letter and request him to study the situation and report
his recommendation to the Board.

Upon motion of Mr. Rowse, seconded by Mr. Sarano, it
Pole was voted to grant the petition of the Boston Edison Co.
location, and the New England Tel. and Tel. Company for a joint location
of fourteen poles on Bloomfield Street.
It was decided to meet at 8:00 P.M. on Thursday, January
Meeting 11th, to discuss budgets.
Mr. Raymond appeared before the Board at 9:40 P.M.
He stated the fire insurance under blanket schedule in the
amount of $11,000. expired on Jan. 5th.through the office
Insurance of George W: Taylor & Son. Mr. Potter moved that the policy
be renewed through the same office. Mr.. Sarano seconded the
motion and it was so,voted.
•Mr. Raymond stated that his staff had given a lot of
study to the matter of betterment assessments in Liberty
Heights to see how•they could make the assessments come out
Liberty fairest. Many of the lots are ninety feet deep and approx-
Heights imately.25% are 80 feet deep. However, for the whole length
sewer of Oak Street between Mass. Ave. and Ellis Street, the lots
Assess- are 125 feet deep. It seems fairest to compute the area
ments. up to a depth of 90 feet. Mr. Raymond read part of the '
Betterment Assessment Act which says that assessments cannot
be levied for a depth of more than 125 feet. He said that
if they went 125 feet deep on the Nichols land, the assessment
for 100 feet of frontage would be 30`O more than it would be
with the 90 foot depth. He recommended that the Board determine
that the benefit.to any lot be computed to a depth of not more
than ninety feet. Mr. Rowse moved that Mr. Raymondts recommen-
dation be approved. Mr. Potter seconded the motion and it was
so voted;
The Chairman asked if the net result of this would be
that the Town was out of pocket. Mr. Raymond said that it
would not be out of poeket unless abatements were made,
excepting for assessments levied on tax title lots.
Mr. Raymond said there was a clause in the insurance
Insurance.contract under "Exclusions" which says that the policy does
not cover injuries or death at the place of an accident
when such accident occurred after the completion of the work.
The Chairman said that -he had been talking to Mr. W.
S. Caouette who felt that something should be done about
sloping the shoulders of Follen Road. Caouette said he
Follen thought it would be a definite benefit to the town if the
Road. shoulders were sloped and the road widened. Follen Road
has a sixty foot layout. Caouette asked if the Board '
would consider doing the work and the Chairman gave the
opinion that the Board would not want to approve it this year,
but if the Board and Mr. Raymond. agreed, it might be submitted
as a W.P.A. project. Fie asked Mr. Raymond if he thought it
o
'
was a good W.P.A.
job
and Mr. Raymond replied in the negative.
He said that this
was
an equipment
job. He said he had
thought of having
the
Highway Dept,
crew go in on'the street
at a slack period
but
he decided it
was too late to do it.
The Chairman requested Mr. Raymond
to talk to Mr. Caouette
on the matter.
Mr. Caouette criticised the general town policy of
building streets of such high quality. He thought that the
side street's should not have the same type of construction
as the main streets as they did not have as much travel. Highways.
Caouettets argument is that the .town does too good a job
and if the burden on the abutters was not so great,
there would be more streets built. The Chairman told him
that there would be higher maintenance costs and quicker re-
construction.
The Chairman said that the suggestions had been made
to him that the town not assess 100% on these streets but
to take over some part of the work such as drainage and pay,
for it. The Chairman said thatthis would mean larger
appropriations and that there would be an increasing shortage
in highway receipts. Mr. Raymond agreed -with him. He said
that this would be partly offset by cheaper snow removal,
He suggested that it might be possible to levy a maintenance
charge on second class street construction. '
The Chairman said he was interested in getting an Act
of the Legislature passed so as to give authority to
appropriate money up to a certain figure and after. that the
receipts go toward a rotating fund so that the interest could
be used for maintenance. There was no further discussion.
The Chairman said that the Baptist Church wanted a
couple of no parking signs placed in frontof the church Parking.
on Sundays. Mr. Potter suggested that the area in front of
the church be painted "no parking" for a length of two.ears.
Mr. Raymond said he would look into the matter.
Mr. Potter said he wished to bring up the matter of
supplying water to the Bayliss house on Shade Street. He
moved that the water main be extended In Concord Ave. from
the present end a distance of approximately 100 feet under the
Betterment Act and subject to Thomas Bayliss depositing the
estimated cost of his service in advance. Mr. Sarano seconded
the motion and it was so voted.
The following commitments were signed: Water Miscellaneous
Charges; Water Rates;. Water Liens.
The meeting adjourned at 11:30
