Chairman Bateman, Messrs. Gay, Reed, Maloney and James were present. The Clerk was also present. Sunday Upon motion of Mr. Maloney, seconded by Mr. James, License it was voted to sign a Sunday Movie License for The Lexington Theatre. The Chairman read a letter from Mr. Bailey A. School Simpson, 21 Moreland Avenue, protesting the decision Custodian of the School Committee that a custodian must be for Scouts hired each time school property is used by Scout groups after school hours. Mr. Maloney mentioned that the school buildings belong to the taxpayers and stated that the Scouts do not have $1,000 a year to pay this fee. Mr. James reported that only recently have cus- todians been on duty for scout meetings and suggested contacting Mr. Howard Butler on the subject. He sug- gested that the School Committee, Mr. Butler, and any- one else he might want present, meet with the Board on Monday, November 14th. Invitation The Chairman received an invitation to attend Veterans' Day Services on November 11th at 11:00 A.M. on the Common. The Chairman reported on request received last Traffic week from the East Lexington Men' s Club that an of- ficer be assigned to traffic duty on Massachusetts Avenue between Curve and Pleasant Streets during the hours of 4:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M. He said he discussed the subject with the Chief of Police who will start immediately to contact Mr. Otis Whitney and advise him that Lexington can no longer supply an officer for duty at Access Road. Mr. Reed mentioned that if an officer is assigned to East Lexington, it will not be possible for the Chief to have him there an Friday nights. The Chairman reported on information he obtained Aerial in re letter received last week from the Board of Ladder Fire Commissioners relative to testing the aerial ladder. He stated that he discussed the subject with 221 Mr. Charnock and up until now all Fire Departments have inspected their own ladders as much as Lexington did. Mr. Charnock is aware of the situation in Lex- ington but made no comment or decision. The Chairman reported that the National Fire Pro- tection Association has a new pamphlet which will show how a department can protect its own equipment. It in- volves purchasing a protractor which shows angle ele- vation of the latter. There are weights to put on the end of the ladder which will tell if it is good or not, but there is no group or bureau that actually tests the ladders. Mr. Gay said that he thought the Fire Commissioners should be advised that the Selectmen are not interested in any further tests. The Chairman said that Mr. Charnock is doubtful if the ladder should be tested or if there is anything wrong with it. Mr. Maloney reported that the Chief said he would use the ladder any time. at any place and the Captain with whom he has talked does not think it is unsafe. Mr. James asked if tbsting and passing the test had anything to do with insurance ratings or any other kind of ratings and the Chairman replied in the negative. It was decided to advise the Commissioners that, based upon information received from Mr. Charnock and reports of examinations made, no further tests are needed. The Chairman reported that Charles Heath, an Agent for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Comppny, is very Group much interested in agitating with the town employees Insurance to begin group insurance coverage. He would like per- mission, which the Charman refused, to call a meeting of all employees. The proposed coverage would include life, retirement and sickness. Mr. Reed said t hat when the time comes that the Board feels it should be recommended to Town Meeting and an appropriation requested, then itwould be time enough to call such a meeting. Mr. Maloney said that until the employees them- selves want the coverage and are willing to pay for it, the Board should not initiate the plan. Mr. James said that if and when such a meeting is called, all other agents who have shown interest in signing up town employees should be given an opportu- nity to attend. Upon motion of Mr. Maloney, seconded by Mr. Gay, Sewer it was voted to sign the following Sewer Easement Orders Orders: 222 C"" rs COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS Middlesex, ss.

IIThe Chairman was authorized to advise Mr. Blais that the Board will enteratin an offer of $1500 and 240 ZL also to inform him that there will be a sewer betterment levidd against the property very shortly in the amount of $437.50. Sergeant The Chairman read a letter, a copy of which Appointment was received by each member of the Board, from Mrs. Edmund Morelli questioning the fact that her husband was not appointed a Sergeant. Mr. Stevens reported that most Civil Service procedure is on the basis of taking the top #an unless there is something definite against him. It was agreed to make an appointment for Mrs. Morelli to meet with the Board next Monday night to discuss the subject. The Chairman read a letter from Mrs. A. M. • Sewer Commons, 402 Bedford Street, asking whether or not Easement settlement has been re sewer easement through her property and property of Dr. Barnes and Mr. Buttrick. Mr. Stevens said that the attorney was going to discuss the matter more fully with Dr. Barnes and then get in touch with him. They felt they were go- ing to lose two lots but he said he could not see how they will lose any lot. He said the attorney was going to take the matter up with Dr. Barnes and Mr; Buttrick and come back with something. The cases have not yet been disposed of and not come to trial. He suggested that the Board advise Mrs. Commons that the matter will be taken up with Town Counsel to find out vh en he may expect trial. Upon motion of Mr. Reed, seconded byMr. Gay, Worthen Rd. it was voted to sign contract between the Town of Contract Lexington and George Brox, Inc. for Street and Drain Work, Contract No. 3 Worthen Road. Mr. Stevens presented a petition, dated today, for the Board to sign to be sent to the D.P.U. re- garding the railroad crossing at Fottler Avenue. Mr. Burns arrived at the meeting at 8:20 P.M. Water ext. The Chairman read a letter from the Burlington Burlington Board of Water Commissioners stating that it is the Board' s desire to have Lexington proceed to extend the water main from a hydrant on North Street to the Burlington line. Mr. Burns reported that no agreement has been prepared. Mr. Mr. St®ones said that nothing should be done until an agreement is signed and recommended that 241 the Board advise the Water Commissioners to have their attorney contact him as it will be necessary to have an agreement prepared and signed before any construc- tion is started. Mr. Burns reported that he needs $1950 for the Transfer balance of the year in the Building & Plumbing De- artment. Of that amount, $1900 is for wages and 50 for expenses. He explained that there are nine weeks at $100 for the Building Inspector and nine weeks at $60 for the Plumbing Inspector and at prep. sent the account is in the, red about $I30. Then there is one day at the end of the year, $32. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to request the Appropriation Committee to transfer the sum of $1900 from the Reserve Fund to the Building & Plumbing Personal Services Account and $50 from the Reserve Fund to the Building & Mumbling Expense Account. Mr. Burns said that he can see from observation that he will be ]sere beyond the first of December and Suptt. of there are sufficient funds in the Public Works Per- Public sonal Services Account to pay his salary and the sal- Works ary of Mr. Richard Gayer. As a suggestion, he said he would remain as Superintendent until the end of the year and whenever Mr. Gayer comes to work. the Board could appoint him^as Assistant Superintendent at whatever salary has been agreed upon. He explained that this will accomplish two things. It leaves the responsibility of projects already started on him and gives "Jr. Gayer time to orient himself and there will be no problem of accepting his resignation and then hiring him back as a consultant. Mr. Burns presented a plan of Winter Street and said that two or three years ago it was planned to Drain in go in back of Wildest property with a drain. How- Winter St. ever, it was not carried out as permission could not be obtained. Mr. Sullivan now owns the lot and was refused permission by the Board of Appeals to erect two houses. Now he wants to put up one house on the two lots and wants the town to move the drain which is all right. He explained that he was merely calling the matter to the Board' s attention because undoubtedly someone will hear from Wildes or Miller. The meeting adjourned at 9:35 P.M.
