A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held in the Selectmen's Room, Town Office Building on Monday evening, May 26, 1941 at 7 :30 P. M. Chairman Giroux, Messrs . Potter, Rowse, Locke and Sarano were present. The Clerk was also present. The Clerk was instructed to ask the Town Accountant what the situation was in regard to loans taken, in anti- cipation of reimbursement by the Federal Government on P.W.A. projects. At 7:30 P. M. hearing was declared open by the Board of Survey on petition of D. Grosso for the approval of an existing graveled driveway off Woburn Street between #195 and #205. Mr. D. Grosso, Mr. Daniel J. O'Connell,his attorney, Mr. James M. Etter, Supt . of Public Works Paxton, Town Engineer Cosgrove, and Mr. Edward W. Kimball of the Planning Board were present. Three members of the Semonian family appeared at 8:45 P. M. Notice of the hearing was D. grosso read by the Chairman. Board of Survey Mr. O 'Connell said that the applicant proposed to 4111 Hearing erect a home on land owned by him in the rear of what was originally the Harlow Estate, and which originally comprised what is now the Semonian property and the house beside it toward Lexington Center. The Fogg house was al- so a part of this estate. The land runs back in the meadow to a swamp that has never been useful to any purpose. It could not be built upon. Mr. Harlow converted his stable into a bungalow which Mr. Etter now lives in. He built a driveway containing 30 feet through the property to serve the Etter place for highway purposes. Some time after that , Mr. Grosso acquired the land in the rear of the Etter property and his land runds down to the Munroe land in a swamp. The land is wet to perhaps a ten foot depth and has never been used for any purpose. Mr. O 'Connell said he did not believe Mr. Grosso should be required to acquire from Semonian brothers 10 feet of land to be added to the driveway, merely in order that he might build a house, as he would be improving the Semonian property. Mr. Grosso simply wants egress for and access to the land in the rear of the Etter house. The Chairman asked if the driveway would be 30 feet to the end of the Etter land and 40 feet from there past the Grosso land and Mr. O'Connel replied in the affirma- tive. The Chairman asked if the Semonians were willing to sell the 10 foot strip and Mr. O'Connell said that they were, at a price, and then they could build on the 41/0 driveway. 85 4111 Mr. O'Connell read a letter from Mr. Semonian dated March 17, 1941, stating that he was willing to sell the 10 foot strip of land from Woburn Street, for a distance of 530 feet, for the sum of .450.00. Mr. O' Connell said he didn't believe that Mr. Grosso should be made to do that. The Chairman asked if Mr. Grosso owned the 30 foot strip leading down to his land and Mr. O' Connell said that he did and that he had the deed with him. Mr. Cosgrove said that he had checked up on this and found that it was true. Mr. O' Connell read the following from the deed from Pasquale A. and Salvatore Casso to Diago Grosso, dated July 24, 1940 and recorded at the South Middlesex Registry of Deeds, Book 6416, Page 425: "This conveyance is with the right of way over the strip of land 60 feet wide, leading southerly from Woburn Street and over and through the strip of land 40 feet wide going westerly to the land herein described; and sub- ject to a right of way over the strip of land herein de- scribed; and subject to a right of way over a strip of land 30 feet wide leading southerly from Woburn Street over and into the way 40 feet wide running easterly all as shown on said plan." The Chairman asked Mr. O'Connell if he had submitted a Board of Survey plan to the Town Engineer for his appro- val and he replied in the negative. He said that they 4111 would be glad to furnish the proper plan however. The Chairman asked if it was to be understood that only one lot was to be used at this time and Mr. O' Connell said that that was true and that only one house was to be built . Mr. Etter said that as he understood it, there was to be no more building of houses on the right of way. He said that if Mr. Grosso had the right to build, he couldn't see why he didn't have the same right. A couple of years ago he s,,id the lot was sold and a man was going to build a house but when he went to the Registry of Deeds , he was told he could not build on the right of way. Mr. Etter owns about three acres of land. The Chairman asked if anyone else wished to speak in favor or in opposition and no one spoke. He asked Mr. Semonian if he wished to be recorded in favor or in op- position and if he wished to make any statement on the subject. Mr. Semonian asked if he was going to lose 10 feet of his land. The Chairman said that the Town was not making any taking and that Mr. O ' Connell' s client could not take the land without paying Semonian for it . The Chairman asked Mr. Semonian if he had anything fur- ther he wished to say for or against the petition and he replied in the negative. Mr. O' Connell asked how much land he had and he said a bout eight acres . 8� Mr. Rowse asked Mr. Semonian if he had any objection to 1111 the Town granting the right to Grosso to build a house on the lot of land and he said that he did not. The Chair- man asked Mr . Semonian if he had any objection to the widening of the right of way beyond his land and he said that he had not. Mr. Kimball asked if Mr. Etter had any rights in this passage. Mr. O'Connell said Mr. Etter possessed a right of way over the land a distance of 468.5 feet from Woburn St. and he has a 75 foot frontage on Woburn Street . Mr. O 'Connell said he understood that Mr. Semonian' s only objection was that if any of his land was taken, he wanted to be paid ftir it . No other persons wishing to be heard, all retired with the exception of Messrs. Cosgrove, Paxton and Kimball. The Chairman asked Mr. Kimball if the Planning Board had any objection to this and Mr. Kimball said it objected to the 30 foot way. He said that if the Board of Survey approved of this, he didn't see why it would not open up the land for Etter and Semonian to build on a 30 foot road. The Chairman said that this application came under the old Board of Survey Act because the approval of one lot only was requested. Mr. Kimball said the Planning Board's only question was about the 30 foot right of way. The Clerk was instructed to write Mr. Wrightington1111 and get his opinion on the matter. The group retired at B:OCP P. M. At 8:01. P. M. hearing was declared open upon the petition of the Boston Edison Co. for permission to lo- Pole cate two poles and remove one existing pole on Edgewood location Road at the southwest and southeast corners of Patriots Drive. No persona appeared in favor of in opposition. Mr. Potter moved that the locations be approved and the order signed. Mr. Locke seconded the motion, and it was so voted. At 8:05 P. M. hearing was declared open upon the petition of the Boston Edison Co. and the N. E. Tele- Pole phone and Telegraph Co. for permission to locate three location poles and the removal of two existing poles in Patriots Drive, southerly from Edgewood Road. No persons appeared in favor or in opposition. Mr. Potter moved that the locations be approved and the order signed. Mr. Locke seconded the motion, and it was so voted. At 8:10 P. M. Mr. Joseph A. Ross, erupt. of the Water Department, appeared to discuss outstanding water guarantees. The Board went over the accounts with Mr. Ross and sug- gested that he have a confrence with Mr. Wrightington. 87 • The Board felt that Mr. ;lrightington should try to collect Outstanding the accounts by writing a letter first and to advise the Water Board before taking any legal action. Guaranty At 8 :30 P. Y. Mr. Albert H. Burnham, Messrs . Cosgrove and Paxton appeared before the Board. Mr. Burnham said that the water in Vine Brook was coming within two inches of the underside of the bridge and that would bring the water to the side of the bridge and he thought there should be a little more leeway. He said that if the water got against the edge of the bridge, it would Albert H. wash away the driveway. Mr. Rowse asked if he was talking Burnham re: about his bridge and he replied in the affirmative. Vine Brook Mr. Paxton said that the engineers went over to take some measurements and Mr. Burnham said that he preferred talking with the Board before allowing them to do anything on it. Mr. Paxton said that the flash boards were accord- ing to the design made by Mr . Raymond and Metcalf & Eddy. He said that the measurements had to be made very accurate and they were starting to take them. The flash boards are to be permanent . Mr. Potter said that he understood that the boards were to be 24 inches and he wondered if it might no accomplish the same result if they were 22 inches rather than 24 inches . Mr. Cosgrove said that that was hard to answer but offhand 4111 he would say that that would do . The Chairman asked if Mr. Burnham was objecting to the 2 inches and he said that he was. He said he thought there was going to be trouble if we happened to have a freshet as there is no place for the water to run. The Chairman asked him if it was his idea to put them in lower, and Mr. Burnham said he thought that it would help a lot if they were a couple of inches lower. He thought it should be 20 inches instead of 24 inches . Mr. Paxton said the design called for four 6 inch planks and according to the agreement , the Town has with Kenrick, the water level should be raised two feet . Mr. Burnham said that Bir. Raymond had called on him at one time and he told him it would be all right to raise the water level but Mr. Raymond didn't make any offer of compen- sation at the time. The Chairman asked if it would be possible to put in the boards and leave the top one off and then see if Kenrick was satisfied. Mr. Paxton said they could try that and have the other plank ready so that if it was not all right, they could put it in Mr. Burnham said that this was not his objection entirely, but he did think that there was going to be trouble if the 24 inches of flash boards were put in. The Chairman asked if the three gentlemen could not work out the problem so as to meet Mr. Burnham' s objection and meet with Mr.Kenrick's approval , and Mr. Burnham said he thought that part of it could be worked out satisfactorily. 88 4110 Mr. Burnham asked the Chairman if he recalled that last fall he made the statement that perhaps the Board and himself could make a "horse trade". He said that he received $ 200.00 less on the flood damage than was awarded him. He was awarded $2230.00 and received $2030.00, then the Board traded him out of 369.17 additional. He said that if he received a check for $569.17, the Town could put up the dam , but if he didn't receive the check, the Town could not put up the dam. Mr. Rowse said he remem- bered that there was a compromise but he did not remember the word "horse trade" . Mr. Burnham said he did not like the term "horse trade" then but he agreed with the compro- mise because he knew that the Town wanted to put up the dam and he would have a chance to trade also. He said he used to raise $1,000.00 worth of celery on this land and now he couldn't raise a dollar 's worth of it. The Chairman said he understood that Mr. Burnham's chief objection was to the lowering of the water table . Mr. Burnham said that it was , but the To d not lower it ; it put in the dam so that the water/nbli''e lowered. The Chairman said that if he used the words "horse trading" last fall, he did not remember it and probably should have said "compromise". He asked Mr. Burnham why he signed the agreement if he did not like the compromise. Mr. Burnham did not answer directly but said that the statement was made that he paid his attorney too much money. Mr. Morrow paid his attorney $500.00 and all he 1110 paid his was $ 300 .00 which he did not think was too much. He said one thing his attorney did for him was worth more than that. The releases that Mr. Wrightington prepared would have deprived him of any rights in there forever and his attorney sent the releases back and had them changed after which he, Burnham, signed them. The Chair- man said the Board thought that it had straightened out everything with him and he was sorry to see him take this attitude. Mr. Burnham said that perhaps the Board would recall that he had sat on the Board for nine years and that in 1928 he killed the Vine Brook project and it was his op- 1 inion that he saved the Town a great deal of money, per- haps $100,000.00 because at that time there was no money coming from the Government. The Chairman said that as he understood the situation, Mr. Burnham would not let the men in on his land to put the flash boards in unless the Selectmen did as he asked. Mr. Burnham said that that was the way he felt about it. The Chairman said that he was sorry he felt that way. Mr. Burnham retired at 9 :00 P. M. It was decided to have Mr. Wrightington in next Monday evening to discuss the subject and to bring the Burnham agreement with him. 89 At 9 :03 P M. William C. Paxton, Gordon D. Richards, and Charles E. Ferguson appeared before the Board. The Chairman said that Mr. Richards had resigned as Acting Building In- spector, said resignation to be effective as of June 14,1941. Gordon D. He asked Mr. Ferguson if he wanted to come back as Building Richards Inspector and he replied that he didn't know when he would resigns get through with his legislative work. The Chairman asked Mr. Richards if he would be willing to stay on for the bal- ance of the year if it was fixed so that he would not have to come into the office at all and Mr . Richards said he could not see his way clear even to do that. The Chairman requested all present to have in mind the name of some person whc might be fitted for the job and to submit it to the Board at the next meeting. The group retired. Mr. John Lamont appeared before the Board. The Chairman told him that the Board heard Peter Canessa was using Town equipment out of town in the cesspool cleaning work. Mr. Lamont said that he had talked with Mr. Canessa Cesspool about this and Mr. Canessa said he hadn't taken the Town pump cleaning out of Town for years. He has a pump of his own on the wagon which he uses for out of Town work. Mr. Lamont was instructed to tell Mr. Canessa not to use Town equipment outside of the confines of the Town. Mr . Walter Rose's application for permission to keep poultry and goats on his premises was discussed. Mr. Rich- Walter ROSE ards reported that he could not find where any building per- Poultry & mit had been taken out for the numerous small buildings on goat the premises. Mr. Rowse moved that Mr. Rose be allowed to keep 15 hens and 2 goats but no roosters. Mr. Locke seconded the motion, and it was so voted. Mr. Lamont retired at 9 :37 P. M. Mr. Paxton appeared before the Board at 9 :45 P. M. He said that the following requests for uses of halls had been received: Uses of Veterans of Foreign Wars, Cary Hall on June 6th; halls Lexington Field and Garden Club, Estabrook Hall on May 27th; Chamber of Commerce, Estabrook Hall on June 6th and a conference room the same evening. Mr. Sarano moved that the uses of the halls be granted free of charge. Mr. Locke seconded the motion, and it was so voted. Mr. Paxton informed the Board that he and Mr. Russell had contacted the P. W. A. authorities and they expbef.ed a check for 108,000.00 before the end of the a eek. Mr. Paxton reported that Mr. Harry Burgess, supervisor 41/0 on the W.P.A. Sewer Project on Oak Street had resigned be- cause he had received private work. 90 It was necessary to have a man familiar with sewer con 1111 - Supervisor struction to supervise the work and so they got a man on Oak St. named John Laurie who had been a supervisor in Waltham. sewer proj . This man seems to have taken a grip on the project and it is going along very well. Mr. Laurie spoke to Mr. Beach and Mr. Cosgrove about getting four or five laborers from Waltham. He said he thought they could accomplish something. Mr. Beach wanted to know if this would meet with the Board's approval. Mr. Paxton said he thought the situation was serious enough so that everything possible should be done to get the job finished. The Board told Mr. Paxton that it would be all right to try to get the men from Waltham. The Chairman asked Mr. Paxton if he would let the Board know when the job was finished to the end of Carville Avenue. Mr. Paxton said that Mr. Garrity told him it would cost about X25.00 per acre to place oil down to destroy Mosquito mosquito eggs. He State had a project on Cape Cod, control where oil was put into the brooks alone and that the project was very successful. No action was taken on the matter. Mr. Paxton said that next w eek there would be a hear- ing before the Board of Survey upon the petition of David A. Rix for the approval of the development at the corner 1110of Marrett Road and Waltham Street. He reminded the Board that it had received a letter from Mr. Rix concerning the drainage in that area. The Town drains through the land Drainage which he anticipates developing and Mr. Rix requested the on Rix Board to think about the cost of drainage. Mr. Paxton Develop- said it seemed illogical for him to prepare a number of ment forms and agreements on something he knew Mr. Rix would not be ready to sign. He said that Mr. Rix would probably wish to make some proposition, but he could not estimate the cost of the work inasmuch as the matter of drainage had not been decided. If the Board decides to do something for Mr. Rix, the next question is where the money is to come from. Mr. Paxton said that last Thursday evening, Messrs. Blake Blake, Couette, Wrightington and Everett Brooks, an "Castle" engineer, met to discuss the drainage of the Blake "Castle" Drainage property. Mr. Paxton said that Mr . Blake was going to contact the Board on the matter. Mr. Paxton said that Mr. Garrity would like to buy a new power mower and the sum of 075.00 was allowed in his Mower for budget for the purchase of one. He wishes to buy a Jacob- Park Dept sen mower at a cost of w375.00. Mr. Howse moved that Mr. Garrity be authorized to pur- chase a Jacobsen mower at a cost of 4375.00. Mr. Sarano seconded the motion, and it was so voted. 91 tA letter was received from Miss Augusta Patrick of 4 Wadman Circle complimenting the Highway Department on the manner in which Patriots Drive was constructed. A letter signed by six residents of Fottler Avenue re- questing the construction and acceptance of the street was received. Mr. Rowse moved that Mr. Paxton be instructed to have the estimate of the cost of construction prepared. Mr. Req. for Sarano seconded the motion, and it was so voted. Fottler Ave. A letter was received from Metcalf & Eddy stating that from time to time the Town Counsel had requested them to prepare for the DeCristofaro case and to advise him with reference to it, both in their office and the Court room. The work was performed by Mr. Whitman and the Charges in charges total $807.30 to date. The letter said that if DeCristofaro ' the Board felt Metcalf & Eddy should be compensated for case Mr. Whitman's time, the firm would be glad to bill the Town for it . The Clerk was instructed to ask Mr . Wright- ington's opinion on the matter. A notice was received of a suit against the Town in Notice of the amount of $10,000.00, brought by Albert P. Rounds of suit Stoneham. The Chairman said that the Auxiliary Police had re- quested permission to use the range at the Public Works Aux. Police Building every Thursday evening for shooting practice. to use shoot Mr. Paxton said that he had checked on the shooting range ing range at and found that the wires were didmantled and would have P.W Bldg. to be fixed. He thought this could be done readily. The Chairman asked Mr. Paxton and the Board if they had any objection to this and there was none. Mr. Paxton retired at 10:15 P. M. Mr. Morse appeared before the Board to discuss welfare matters and retired at 10:50 P. M. The Board received an application for a second-class Agent 's License from Frank Canessa, giving the address of Application the proposed business as 286 Marrett Road The Board felt for Second- that it had no authority to act on the application inasmuch class Ag't . as a permit from the Board of Appeals would be necessary license first. Mr. Rowse said that he thought about 1100.00 would be needed for the Welfare Department 's garden project. Mr Rowse moved that an amount not to exceed $100.00 Welfare Dept for the purchase of seed, fertilizer and other materials garden proj . for the Welfare and W P.A. garden project be approved. This amount is to come out of the Public Works Welfare Aid Appro- priation. Mr. Sarano seconded the motion, and it was so 1111 voted. 92 Mr. Wrightington's bill in the amount of $200.00 for Rodenhiser his services in the Rodenhiser case was received. case bill Mr. Potter moved that the bill be approved. Mr.Locke seconded the motion, and it was so voted. A bill in the amount of 0..50 for advertising the hearing on the proposed Building By-laws was received.Mr. Rowse moved that the bill be approved and charged to the Unclassified Account . Mr. Potter seconded the motion,and it was so voted. The Chairman said that he took the responsibility of Ammunition ordering $25.00 worth of ammunition for the Auxiliary for Aux. Police. He asked if the Board approved of this. Police Mr. Potter moved that the Chairman' s action be ap- proved. Mr. Locke seconded the motion, and it was so voted. Mr. Potter moved that the following licenses be granted. Mr. Sarano seconded the motion, and it was so voted.
