Brook between Valleyfield & Grassland Sts. On Friday it looked
as if builder Compagnone had graded and finished without filling
waterway. Then during the weekend large quantities of fill were
heaped at the corner of the two roads. The DNR has been notified
and is sending someone out to inspect.
Pollution of Brooks. Messrs. Friedman and Sandy agreed that a
pollution-hunting brook walk of the Vine Brook would be an ex-
cellent project for the Citizens for Lexington Conservation.
A letter from Miss Victoria Smith of Eldred Street told of oil
pollution upon North Brook, coming from under 128. This letter
also reached the Town Manager, who had the matter investigated.
No active source of pollution could be found and it was concluded
that spring release of oils upon melting snow along 128 and roads
must have been the source.
Enlargement of the Commission to 7. Steven Ells and the DNR will
be contacted to see how this can be brought about.
