Johnson, Inc. $1093.65 $100.00 $993.65 Calvin W. Childs 1283.80 225.00 1058.80 Sterling Federal 1375.00 180.00 1195.00 Truck International 1185.73 125.00 1060.73 bids Mack 1757.00 240.00 1517.00 Johnson Pontiac Co. One 1 to 2 ton 1402.13 125.00 1275.13 Two 2 to 21 ton 1641.13 125.00 1516.13 Mr. Paxton said he thought the Town would get $100.00 to $125.00 worth of use with the 1935 dump truck in the next six months and he didn't think it ought to be turned in. Mr. Potter said that the cost per mile on a Chevrolet truck would be much less than the cost on a Federal and that the cost on upkeep of parts would be much less. Mr. Rowse asked Mr. Paxton why he said originally he wanted to turn in the 1935 truck if he thought it had so much life left in it. Mr. Paxton said he still thought the truck should be turned in, but that it cer- tainly was worth more than $100.00 and that the Town could get more than that value with it . He said that assuming that the 4111 cost of operation of the truck was $3.00 per day, the Town would get $100.00 worth of use in one month. Mr. Rowse moved that the Chevrolet truck be purchased with- out turning in the old truck with the understanding that no money would be spent on the old one, and it was so voted. Mr. Potter said he thought that the Board should either let him keep the truck and spend what money was needed on it, without going into major repairs, or turn it in. Mr. Sarano moved that the vote be rescinded. Mr. Locke seconded the motion, and it was so voted. Mr. Potter moved that Mr. Paxton be authorized to turn in the 1935 truck at not less than $125.00 turn-in value and pur- chase the Chevrolet truck with the 93 horsepower motor, large radiator and fish plates, and that Mr. Paxton be authorized to pay not more than $20.00 more to cover the extra items, or a total of $1013.65. Mr. Sarano seconded the motion, and it was so voted. Bids were received on a 3/4 ton truck as follows: List Price Allowance Net F. K. Johnson, Inc. $ $ $564.95 Calvin W. Childs 805.14 125.00 680.14 Johnson Pontiac Co. 806.91 75.00 731.91 International 743.10 35.00 708.10 Mr. Sarano moved that the bid of F. K. Johnson, Inc. be accepted. Mr. Potter seconded the motion, and it was so voted. 38 Mr. Paxton said that the electric light fixtures at the Public Works Building had caused considerable trouble and a new system of rewiring was recommended. One firm made the suggestion that instead of chain fixtures, pen- dant fixtures be installed. This is the most efficient Lights at method of taking care of this kind of lighting. Three bids Public Wks. were obtained as follows: Bldg. Chain Pendant R. W. LeBaron Co. (Arlington) $225.00 $286.25 Hawes Electric Co. (Watertown) 227.00 John Moakley (Lexington) $165.00 250.00 Mr. Paxton talked with Mr. Bills and he recommended the pendant type. Mr. Paxton said that the money in the account was very low and that there was not sufficient allowed under Equipment and Repairs to pay for this electrical work and that a transfer would be needed in the fall. Mr. Rowse asked if there was something that he could do without in order to have this work done. He replied in the negative. It was his opinion that this work would overdraw the account $250.00. The matter was held over for one week. Mr. Paxton said he had had a conference with Mr. Knipe relative to the Board of Survey hearing next Monday evening. Mr. Knipe wanted to know if the bond could be the same amount as the cost of the work, which Mr. Paxton figured would be about $1500.00. Mr. Knipe also wanted to know if1111 the time limit could be set at November 1st. Mr. Paxton said he approved of both of these requests and the Board had no objection. Mr. Paxton said that Mr. William Hunt had requested betterment sidewalk construction in front of the Hunt Block. Mr. Cosgrove has made a study of the grades. Mr. Hunt is interested in raising the curbing to eliminate the slope. Sidewalk Mr. Cosgrove thinks it is impossible to change the grade. at Hunt The Chairman said that unless the slope could be changed, Block there would be a concrete sidewalk with a bad slope which would make it more slippery than ever. Mr. Paxton said that at Martin's drugstore the walk could be fixed rather well, but not much could be done at the other end and there is a difference in grade of approximately 18 to 19 inches between the two ends of the sidewalk. Mr. Hunt feels it would be a simple matter to raise the curbing as much as 6 inches in some places and adjust the street to fit the curbing. Mr. Paxton said he would like to work out something to take care of the situation, but he thought it would be a waste of the Town' s money and Mr. Hunt 's to put a granolithic sidewalk in. He suggested that some of the kinks in the brick sidewalk be taken out, but Mr. Hunt did not want that. 39 411 The Chairman said that the whole of Lexington center should be engineered and everything done to proper grade. However, he said that that probably would not be done until the Hunt Block was torn down. Mr. Paxton was requested to explain the matter to Mr. Hunt and Messrs. Martin and Bateman who are anxious for the new sidewalk. Mr. Paxton said that Mr. Cosgrove had called his attention to Lots 5 and 6 in the Marvin Development on which there was a hearing before the Board of Appeals. The petition was to divide the lot so that two houses could be built upon it, although they did not have the required 12,500 square feet in area. The Board Re : of Appeals denied the petition and Mr. Cosgrove felt that the Marvin Board of Appeals must have got the wrong impression. hearing If Marvin was allowed to cut this lot in two, it would mean that Smyth Street could be made a through street. Mr. Paxton said that it would be of great benefit to the Town if it were allowed, as surface water drainage and sewage would undoubtedly be put in and there would be a through way for plowing. Mr. Locke said that he had viewed the locus and it was hard to visualize two lots made out of this one because of the grade. No action was taken on the matter. At 8:45 P. M. hearing was declared open upon the petition of the Boston Edison Co. for permission to erect one pole on • Mass . Avenue, approximately 65 feet west of Parker Street. No Pole persons appeared in favor of in opposition. location Mr. Potter moved that the petition be granted. Mr. Locke seconded the motion, and it was so voted. A letter was received from Mr. W. S.Couette calling to the Board' s attention that the drainage from the streets sur- rounding the Blake "Castle" property had entered upon said property causing a condition, where the average water table was one foot below the surface. He requested that the Board Blake make a study of the matter and eliminate the condition. "Castle" Mr. Paxton was instructed to discuss the matter with water Mr. Cosgrove and Mr. Wrightington and to appear with them table before the Board next Monday to discuss the matter further. Mr. Sarano said that the Chamber of Commerce felt that the buses stopping in the middle of the street did more to retard traffic than anything else. He said that it was im- Bus stops possible for the buses to get into the curb in front of Marshall' s as the post had two signs on it; one, "Bus Stop" and the other "One Hour Parking" . Mr. Paxton was requested to remove the "One Hour Parking" sign. He said that there was a bus stop in front of the Fruit Spot and the bus could not get into the curb because of parked cars. It was sug- gested that the bus stop be put in front of the Edison plant. `i0 The Chairman said he believed the buses should be • forced to discharge their passengers before they get up to the center and then they could get through the green light. Mr. Sarano said he was told that no matter what the Town wanted, the Middlesex and Boston St. Railway Co. to do, it would do as it pleased anyway. Mr. Paxton said he could not understand this as he had always found the Middlesex & Boston very cooperative. The Chairman asked him to look in- to the matter and report next week. The Chairman asked Mr. Paxton if he had taken over full control of the W .P.A. and he replied in the affirmative. Adams The Chairman said that the question of the light at the School Adams School had been brought up again and he requested Mr. light Paxton to cheek on it. Mr. Paxton retired at 9:07 P. M. Mr. Morse appeared before the Board at 9:07 P. M. and retired at 9:55 P. M. Mr. Lamont appeared before the Board. He said he wanted to discuss the matter of DeVincents piling fertilizer on their land across from Seiler' s 1775 House. He said that they had been very cooperative this spring and had bothered Seiler' s only three days. Last fall DeVincent the family did violate the law by piling the fertilizer with4111 - fertilizer in 500 feet of the street, but as far as Mr. Lamont knew, he had a perfect right to spread it. Mr. Mann of Seiler' s requested Mr. Lamont to bring the matter before the Board tonight. The Chairman told Mr.Lamont to tell Mr. Mann that Mr. Potter would go over to call on Mr. DeVincent to see if he could get him to do everything possible to eliminate the nuisance of odor. Mr. Lamont asked the Board whether or not he was supposed to authorize purchase of equipment for Peter Canessa. The Chairman said that Mr. Canessa had a monopoly on the cesspool Re:Canessa cleaning business and he wondered why the Town should buy his equipment equipment. Mr. Canessa told Mr. Lamont that he had made an agreement with Mr. Harrison in 1923 whereby the only thing Canessa was to furnish was the horses and the Town was to furnish all equipment. The Board toltiMr. Lamont to tell Mr. Canessa that it expected him to funnish his own minor equip- ment and submit a request for any major equipment. Mr. Lamont was also told to instruct Mr. Canessa to submit a report of his activities every month. Mr. Lamont said that Mr. Walter Rose had requested per- ' mission to keep 75 poultry and two goats at 6 Tewksbury St. A letter was received from Mr. Howard E. Custance of 2 Tewksbury Street complaining that Mr. Rose' s roosters crowed very early in the morning and were a nuisance . He also said 41 4111 Mr. Rose waskeepingpermit that goats without a under none too sanitary conditions . He also said that Mr. Rose had built several buildings in the last few years without a permit and Complaint in violation of the building laws. about Rose Mr. Lamont said that Mr. Rose keeps promising to get rid roosters of the roosters but he has not done so. Mr. Lamont said that this was a residential neighborhood and he did not believe that the permit should be granted. It was decided to get a re- port from the Building Inspector before taking any action on the application. Mr. Lamont retired at 10:12 P. M. A letter was received from the First Parish Church thank- ing the Board for reducing the July, 1940 water bill. A financial report of the school lunch project for April was received. A letter was received from the United States Flag Associa- tion advising that Flag Week would be held June 8 to June 14 and requested the appointment of a committee to take charge of the observance. The Clerk was instructed to request the Flag week Allied Veterans Council to appoint a committee and to advise the Selectmen of the committee. A notice was received from Messrs. William H. Driscoll Salary and George W. Nary advising that they would be willing to Committee serve on the salary committee . Mr. Philip Clark wrote that he would not be able to serve on this committee . Mr. Wrightington's bill in the amount of $152.00 for services and disbursements in the case of Matthews v. Weisinger was received. Mr. Rowse moved that the bill be approved. Mr. Sarano seconded the motion, and it was so voted. A letter was received from the Outlook Club thanking the Board for the use of Crory Hall and advising that it had been Outlook voted to go back to the Belfry Club for meetings for the en- Club suing year. The report of the Audit for the year 1940, made by the Massachusetts Director of Accounts, was received. The Chair- man called the Board' s attention to a paragraph recommending Report of that a determined effort be made to collect the outstanding Audit for water guarantees and the Westview Cemetery accounts. The 1940 Clerk was instructed to call the Tax Collector' s attention to this and to instruct him to do everything possible to secure payment of these outstanding accounts . She was also instructed to request Mr. Ross to prepare a report on the water guarantees and to bring it before the Board. 42 The Chairman said that about 600 members of the U.S. 4110 U.S. Pro- Probation Officers Association would make a visit to Lex- bation ington on May 30th and he thought it would be fitting to Officers have the flags up. The Clerk was instructed to request all departments to fly all flags on May 30th. Mr. Potter moved that the following licenses be granted. Mr. Locke seconded the motion and it was so voted.

Ave. 75 Swine Mr. Sarano said that Mr. Jesse Meadows wanted to renew his junk license but he had no funds . He will receive $75 . about June 15th for his services as a volunteer fireman and will pay the fee then. The Board thought that this would be all right . Mr. Garrity is worried about spraying as the elm leaf beetle is causing more damage than he expected. He is get- ting after this pest and will not be able to do his regular spraying in the fall. The Chairman suggested that Mr. Garrity4110 come in next week and discuss the matter. Flowers Mr. Locke moved that a bill in the amount of $5.00 for flowers sent to the family of Edward O'Connor be approved and charged to the Unclassified Account.
