He said that the Government was very anxious that quarters be provided and that a committee of three members of the Defense Committee had discussed the question.

The subcommittee would like per - Committee mission to have that trunk line brought through the switch- head- board in the Selectmen's office to the Engineers' Room, thus quarters the Engineers' Room would be used for the time being. The Chairman said that as he understood,it, there would Tel.trunk be no inconvenience on the switchboard excepting on the days line the Government runs tests, then the calls will come through the switchboard. There will be no expenditure of money, but some inconvenience. After some discussion on the matter, the Board felt that it would be all right to have the new trunk line come through the switchboard and for the Defense Commi- ttee to use the Engineers' Room for temporary headquarters. At 8:15 P.M. Mr. George C. Sheldon, Chairman of the Appropriation Committee, appeared before the Board to dis- Bldg.& cuss the matter of extra compensation for the Building and Plmbg.

Mr. Locke seconded the motion, and it was so.voted. Mr. Sheldon retired at 8:40 P.M. The Chairman brought up the question of the installa- tion of a separate heating unit in the Town Office Building.

Walter and Stanley Wilson appeared before the Board at 8150 P.M. Walter Wilson said that the both were in Court this morning and each paid a fine of 100.00 and were supposed He that it was much easier to cut down on expense money said rather than on salaries as the men who come in next year will say that they did not expect a salary cut. He said that the bonus would have to appear`in'the salary column and Mr. Rowse said that it would show up just as much in the expense column. Mr. Sheldon said that Mr. Russell felt that since Mr. Lind- strom was under civil service, it might be necessary to get the approval of the civil service commission if the money was granted as extra compensation. After considerable discussion on the matter, the Board agreed to concur with the Appropria- tion Committee that the money be allowed as extra automobile expense for 1941. The Dog Officer's report on the dog warrant issued June 10, 1941 was received.

Mr. Lindstrom said that a building permit finally was taken out but that • to make restitution to the Town through the Probation Officer. The Chairman asked if it was correct that they were fined X100.00 each and given a three month's suspended sentence under probation and Mr. Wilson said that it was. The Chair- man told the two men that the Board would be glad to have them say what they thought would be a fair restitution to the Town. Walter Wilson said that the meter ran three to four months during the year and that the heaviest usage was from the middle of August until the middle of September. The Chairman said that he to]dthem that what the Board wanted to do was to clean up the matter and from the attitude they had taken, they shbuld be willing to give the Board an honest statement of what they thought should be returned to the Town. He would not say that the Board would be willing to accept their figure, but it did feel that the,Wilsons should submit one. He suggested that they retire and discuss the question. They left at 8:55 P.M. and returned at 9:03 P.M. Stanley Wilson asked if something between X200. and $300. would be acceptable. The Chairman asked if they believed that i^rould be just and right and they said that they did. The Chairman said that the Board would discuss the matter. Walter Wilson said that they had to telephone the Probation Officer by 9:30 tomorrow morning and let him know the amount the Board felt should be returned to the Town. The Chairman told him to telephone Probation Officer Harris in the morn- ing and tell him that the two men had seen the Board tonight and that he, Mr. Giroux, was going down to the Court House tomorrow and would give the Probation Officer the Board's decision. Walter Wilson asked when they would know what the Board's feeling was and the Chairman suggested that he tele- phone the Probation Officer tomorrow.

Wrightington's absence, wrote a letter to Mr. Gianano and called his attention to the violation of the building and plumbing laws. Mr. Lindstrom said that a building permit finally was taken out but that • • • 0 no plumbing permit had ever been taken out. His efforts to locate Mr. Gianano have been fruitless. He recommended that Mr. Wrightington be instructed to take legal action against the man. Mr. Potter moved that hIr. Lindstromts recommendation be approved. Mr. Locke seconded the motion, and it was so voted. Mr. Lindstrom discussed the matter of people moving in- to houses before the work is completed. He said.that very often the cesspool and septic tank is incomplete when people move in. He wondered if the vire inspector might be in- structed to refuse to okay the installation of a meter until the work was completed to the satisfaction of the building and plumbing inspectors. Mr. Rowse questioned if the wire inspector would have the right to refuse to approve the in- stallation of the meter if the wiring had been completed. Mr. Lindstrom said that this was the practice in Boston and Cambridge. The Clerk was instructed to write the Town Counsel and ask his opinion in the matter.
