pressure in this section of Lexington Permits
The next one is on Burlington Street, and what they
have there is about 3;0 feet of 6 inch. The reason for
re-laying this is sort of a high pressure system coming

iron main and the company doesn' t like it on a high
pressure system; to replace it with welded steel and
abandon the existing line.

cational or public affairs.

Ward is a local representative.

hall, it is not necessarily in sumpathy; that they con-
form to the restrictions.

The Chairman received a petition, signed by 100
voters, requesting an article in the June Town Meeting
warrant to construct Laconia Street , which was denied
at the Annual Town Meeting.
Petition The Chairman stated this petition would have to
Laconia St. be checked by the Town Clerk to ascertain if it was
correct .
At 8:00 P.M. , Mr Arthur E Burrell met with the
Board He stated he had a problem. He felt the
$5,000 appropriated was out of line very generally,
and it is not enough, for as of last week, the depart-
ment had already spent $2,566 00, 50% of the money
available. He said, based on their minimum monthly
expenses, if they continue at the present rate, they
will be down under $500 at the end of June. He sub-
Civil mitted recommendations to each member of the Board, and
Defense said he had made three recommendations on page 2. 1) In
view of the Town Meeting vote, he felt it would be apprppri-
ate to activate this committee. He said he thought basic-
ally it was an indication that the Town does not under-
stand the program. This is one way there could be a
better understanding. 2) Cut down the warning system;
which is the biggest part of the expense every month,
telephone and Edison routine month' s expenses. 3) He
would like to suggest that a special article be submitted
for $1 ,785.00 to cover the expenses listed on page 2.
He stated if the Department didn' t get the money, he would
like to close down the program.
The Chairman stated it has been lack of understanding
of the program. The general reaction is they really didn' t
know what the department was doing; show them and they will
change their vote The way it is set up is a very objective
group to perform a useful function and come before Town
Meeting with an article . He said he didn't agree to shutting
down the warning system
Mr. Burrell said there is just not enough money to
run this, and if additional money is not appropriated in
June , the total program goes down the drain.
The Chairman asked if he believed that the Town Meting
intended to vote out the warning system.
Mr Gray asked if there weren' t figures in the C.D.
budget that are monthly charges for the telephone system.
The question was asked if you shut down the warning system
would there be enough money to take care of the essential
services.
Mr. Mabee asked if Mr. Burrell could tell the Board
what is the breakdown, and he replied $2100 Anything
spent oti the warning system is 50% returned to the Town.
$162 month telephone; $75 a month maintenance, $3.00 an
hour to 'lallace Cupp, 15 a month for power charges, it
doesn' t provide for any repair He said he was only
asking for six months.
565
Mr. Mabee asked what the telephone charges were speci-
fically for, and Mr . Brurell replied for leased lines . Each
speaker is connected , 18 leased lines which go into the tele-
phone exchange.
The Chairman stated any of the things are matching
funds or reimbursable . The program is for a civil emergency.
Mr. Burrell said the warning system could be used for
school signals, that he had talked to the Fire Commissioners.
If the Board feels it is a proper use , it is up to the
School Committee.
The Chairman felt this was a use for which the warn-
ing system could be spent , and stated when the facts were
known, Town Meeting will bakk any program for a valid reason.
The recommendations as set forth in the letter were dis-
cussed 1) Voted to appoint an Advisory Council of five
members 2) With regard to shutting down the warning
system, it was decided to hold off and see what the June
Town Meeting brings.
Mr. Mabee said he would like it to be brought before
Town Meeting; that it is positively going to be shut down
unless funds are appropriated .
Mr Cataldo stated he felt the warning system should
not be shut down, that it should remain, that there is a
possibility of more money being appropriated in June, but
as of now, to start and spend nothing more than should be
spent until June He said we may not get any more money
in June and an attempt should be made to keep the depart-
ment going.
The Chairman stated the public is not aware of what
is going on; there are enough spaces for 30,000 people
2t1.,000 stocked There is a place to go until it is ready
and stocked
Mr. Burrell stated without the warning system, there
would be money to finish stocking 5,000 spaces
Mr. Cataldo said our position is, take the money
given; we are going to run this way until June, and we
shouldn't take that attitude.
Mr Burrell stated it depends on what you want to
keep going. The warning system does not mean much if
you take out the rest of the program.
The Chairman stated this is to warn the people; some
place to go in an emergency. There is training for
shelter management in order to know how to run these
shelters
Mr. Burrell stated the department has been run on
a budget of $12,000 for three years , and they were cut
$7,000 to $9,000, very valuable items; 20% of the budget
cut out, and said they had to have some of these things
to make it run. He had to attend one meeting a week
11 in order to provide instruction to the people.
566
Mr Cataldo stated these items are desirable, but if
there is no money, you can' t have it
Mr Burrell said it is the warning system or the total
program; the warning system could be reactivated
Mr. Burnell said the warning system could be shut down
and reactivated a lot easier than the rest of the program, and
suggested that Town Meeting be approached with a new presen-
tation and let it decide what to do
The Chairman stated that Town Meeting did not get the
facts, and he felt it would make a wise decision
Mr. Burrell said to request $3500.
Mr Kenney asked if he could carry on a minimum pro-
gram, and Mr. Burrell replied in the affirmative
Mr Mabee said to knock out the warning system or wait
until June You have a very distinct step. If you knock
out $2500, you will get this .
The Chairman said the primary element is the warning
system; a place $Qrpeople to go and sustain them in that place.
The Chairman asked if the Board would put an article
in the warrant for the June Town Meeting by the Advisory
Council'
Mr. Cataldo said money should not be spent at the
rate they have been spending it; it should be reduced to
an absolute minimum.
The Chairman questioned the deferring of training,
to see how much can be cut down until June to keep the mini-
mum program, continue on the limited basis and go in with
an article to maintain the program that is necessary.
Mr. Burrell said they would make no expenditures which
are not required , no new commitments
Mr. Mabee said it can be cut to $3500.
The Chairman said that an article would be inserted in
the June Warrant but there was no figure at this time.
Mr. Burrell asked for an expression from the Board to
use the warning system for the school signals , and the
Chairman replied any use that would be a benefit to the
townspeople is 0 K
Mr. Burrell retired at 9:05 P.M.
Mr. Norman Koss, 15 Fulton Road , met with the Board.
to discuss the trunk sewer. He stated this was his first
Sewer appearance, and would like to discuss the sewage health
Fulton Rd . problem with Mr. Carroll pertaining to the Briarwood
Estates, Douglas Road , off East Street . He referred to
the money appropriated by the Town for sewers under Article
17 He stated Mr. Carroll had said tare has been no settle-
ment of how these funds may be used . He said he would
like to urge the Selectmen that no lines be put inbo un-
occupied areas at this time, that the health conditions
E-; 7
of overflooding of cesspools warrant attention immediately,
if possible.
The Chairman explained the money was used to put in
trunk sewers where builders were going to build so they
would have to put in laterals at no cost to the Town He
stated Fulton Road would be considered next year The
budget was cut $50,000.
Mr. Koss said he was arguing for it now, not next year;
that steps should be taken to rectify this as soon as
possible. He said it would seem that with the health
interest of the Town in mind, the Selectmen should remove
the hazards that exist and prevent further trouble, extend-
ing the resources at hand in a potential area.
The Chairman explained before the trunk sewers would
be put in, there would have to be a plan on file, and
asked how large the lots were in his area.
Mr. Koss replied 33,000 feet
TheChairman said the Boad recognizes the problem, the
land is saturated .
Mr Koss said he found it very difficult why the
Town could not prevent building, and the Chairman replied
the owners had the right to use the land as they see fit .
Mr Koss said he was very upset , that he felt it was
a very irresponsible act, and he would take legal action.
The Chairman advised him to follow his counsel' s
advice ; that the Board raalizes the seriousness of the
situation, is well aware of the conditi. ns, that there are
many areas in Town where sewage runs down the street. More
money could not be spent than was appropriated at Town
Meeting
Mr Koss retired at 9:20 P.M

Mr. Carroll referred to the old chairs in Cary Hall
and stated that the Board had agreed to offer them to any
Cary Hall charitable organization or church group that wanted them,
chairs and he wanted to be sure that the Board still felt that
way and if it wanted him to write a notice, that there
were 325 of them.
Mr. Kenney asked if they could be used at the Infor-
mation Center, and Mr. Carroll replied they were in groups
of three, and wouldn' t be a good conference chair, that
they were too low; he felt they would be used for lectures
at a church.
The Chairman said for Mr. Carroll to carry through on
it , that the Board would consider any request from a church
or town group
Mr . Carroll referred to the North Street Trunk
sewer which is being built which he explained to the Board
by use of a plan. He said the upper end of that sewer,
the force main which starts at North Street , comes down
North St . to Colony Road and Grant Street . No one can tie into
Trunk Sewer that; 500 feet profile of street slants back to Colony
Road; building a gravity sewer at Town' s advantage He
said. if they build according to plan, they will be creating
a gravity sewer which will serve eight properties , sewer
available right now. The property owners don' t know it
but they should be assessed a betterment. He asked if the
Board wanted him to notify them and bring their reaction
back to the Board , that they definitely should be assessed
betterments .
The Chairman stated the owners are entitled to know.
Mr. Carroll said he would notify them.
Mr. Cataldo said to go forward and build the gravity
sewer anyway, regardless of the betterments .
Mr. Carroll stated the next item concerns some items in
the budget affected by Town Meeting action. One is the
water and sewer extension on Blossomcrest , $6,000 water,
$12,000 sewer, $18,000 total. Tied into this is another
Sewer article approved by Town Meeting. He stated they recon-
structed a piece of Blossom Street dry sewer at a cost of
$25,000. If they took out the section, then we have a
dry sewer on the upper portion of Blossomcrest Road which
is of no use . It would be wise to knock out, do the whole
thing in a package . We would still have a dry sewer Could
presumably build the section, so it would be better and we
would rather do it as one package.
569
The Board agreed with Mr Carroll to leave the dry
sewer on the other end of Blossomcrest Road On Crescent
Road knock out the sewer, $32,500.
Mr. Carroll stated on Volunteer Way, he had talked to
