Chairman Giroux, an estimate of the cost of extending the

water main in Spring Street from the present end, approxi -

mately 100 feet south of the Cambridge -Concord Turnpike,to

quested the extension. He is willing to pay the betterment on
his property and would be willing to pay one half of the
betterment on the other property on his side of the street.

him relative to headquarters for the Civilian Defense Com-
mittee. 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. They
would dike quarters for temporary use without any cost to
the own.
Mr. Sands said that he believed the State would be will-
i 1-ing
ingto carry a telephone trunk line connection from Newton
Defense
to Lexington without cost. 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

line come through the switchboard and for the Defense Commi-
ttee to use the Engineers' Room for temporary headquarters.

tion of a separate heating unit in the Town Office Building.

ing unit for the Town Office Building in his budget for 1942.

sell the old power house at 177 Bedford Street to the Town.

this building. Mr. Paxton said that he was contemplating

ment. It was decided to have Mr. Paxton think the matter
over and to discuss it next week.

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.

Mr. Lindstrom appeared before the Board.
He said that tonight he discussed with Mr. Wrightington
Violation the case of Salvatore Gianano. This is the person who re -
of Bldg. modeled the house at 43 Woburn Street last summer and did
& Plmbg. not obtain a building or plumbing permit. In August, Ms.
Laws Weld A. Rollins, acting in Yr. 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
•
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. Mr. Rowse asked how
long a period they thought the taking of water covered and
Walter Wilson said that they had been doing it for two years
1939 and 1940.
They retired at 9:05 P.M.
The Board discussed the matter at some length and finally
instructed the Chairman to tell the Probation Officer that
the o inions on the amount to be returned to the Town varied
from 200. to $1500. and that the average was $900. He was
also instructed to tell the Court that there was absolutely
no way of arriving at a figure and that any figure decided
upon would be simply a guess.
Mr. Lindstrom appeared before the Board.
He said that tonight he discussed with Mr. Wrightington
Violation the case of Salvatore Gianano. This is the person who re -
of Bldg. modeled the house at 43 Woburn Street last summer and did
& Plmbg. not obtain a building or plumbing permit. In August, Ms.

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.
Mr. Morse appeared before the Board at 9:35 P.M, and
retired at 10:02 P.M.
