Shrock Removal of requesting the removal of a large elm tree from in tree at 200 front of his property at 200 Waltham Street. Mr. Waltham St . Shrock claims that the tree leans toward his house and is somewhat of a hazard, particularly when strong winds blow. A memo received from Mr. Garrity advised that this tree was badly twisted during the 1938 hurricane and he thought it should be removed with- out being posted. Mr. Emery moved that Mr. Garrity be authorized to remove the tree as soon as possible. Mr. Gay seconded the motion, and it was so voted. A bill in the amount of X500 was received from , Claim by Harold Conant for damage to a row of cedar trees bordering his property at 47 Lincoln Street, which Harold Mr. Conant claims was caused by a dump fire in 1943 . Conant for On a memo to the Board Mr. Garrity stated that on fire damage December 21, 1943 , at 1 00 P.M. , a fire which started to trees in the dump on Lincoln Street, crossed the street and burned the lower branches of a number of cedar trees along the roadway of Mr. Conant ' s property. The Clerk was instructed to send a copy of Mr. Conant' s bill to the Town Counsel and to ask him whether or not Mr. Conant has a legal claim. The Chairman read a letter from Mr. Garrity Model relative to model airplane flying in Lexington. He stated that in 1947 he gave permission for model Airplane airplane flying inside the enclosed field and this Flying area was used until the grading started. He then granted permission for the use of a small parcel of land in the rear of the Jackson' s greenhouse. However, the noise annoyed Mrs. Jackson. He then gave permission for model airplane flying on Hastings Park. Complaints were received abott the use of the park for this purpose and Er. Garrity cancelled all 55 I model airplane flying permits on park land. The Chairman said that James Smith spoke to him about flying airplanes and he suggested to Mr. Garrity that they might use a playground area at the rear of the Adams School. Mr. Emery said that James W. Smith, Jr. , called him on Sunday, October 26th, and said that he wanted to fly model airplanes. How- ever, he was advised by the Police that he would have to have a written note from a membee of the Board of Selectmen. Mr. Emery said that he gave Mr. Smith a note for one day only , but there was no doubt in his mind that this activity is a nuisance and a traffic hazard. The Chairman said that he also suggested to Mr. Smith that he write to the Board who wanted to fly airplanes and how many were interested in this activity . The Clerk was instrudted to advise Mr. Garrity that the Board considers the Adams School Playground as an adequate place for citizens to fly model airplanes and to ask him for his opinion on the matter. At 7:30 P.M. Mr. Joseph H. DeFoe , Sup't. of Public Works, met with the Board. He stated that very shortly he will be starting on Woburn Street sewer and he would like to employ Charles Moore as inspector on this job . He stated that when the Manor Sewer is finished one of the machines will go Inspector on Ledgelawn and he could also use Mr. Moore for for sewer this job. He came to work for $250 a month and jobs had been here longer than he anticipated; however, he feels that he has a moral responsibility to stay until the Manor Sewer job is completed. He does not feel like prolonging his stay for 4250 a month but will finish up the other jobs for $75.00 a week. Mr. DeFoe said that he would like to have him remain after the job is finished so that his notes may be incorporated on the plans. The Chairman asked the members of the Board how they felt about it. Mr. Emery asked if he was the inspector. Mr. DeFoe replied in the affirmative. He also stated that Mr. Moore intends to take a vacation and that ketcalf and Eddy will send a man to take his place. Mr. Driscoll asked if Mr. Moore is now on the Town Pay- - roll. Mr. DeFoe said that the Town saves 25% by having the inspector on the Town payroll. 56 Mr. Driscoll asked how many hours the inspector I works and Mr. DeFoe said he works as many hours as necessary , sometimes he works nights and all day Saturday. He also uses his car for which he receives no compensation. The Chairman said that he definitely felt that the town should have an inspector and that this particular man was hired by Metcalf and Eddy who have checked his qualific- ations. He said he believed it advisable to have him continue. Mr. Locke said he thought it was certainly to the Town' s advantage to continue with him. Mr. Driscoll moved that the Sup't . of Public Works be authorized to pay the inspector at the rate of $75 a week, effective November first. Mr. Gay seconded the motion, and it was so voted. Mr. Emery said that it would seem to him that the inspector should be paid for a vacation. Mr. Emery Bsamg moved that the inspector be paid for one week' s vacation Mr. Locke seconded the motion, and it was so voted. Mr. DeFoe stated that some time ago the Board gave him permission to purchase 100 5/8" water meters. He said at that time he had 75 meters in stock and now he has only ten left. He informed the Board that it would seem advisable to place another order now. The Chair- man asked to what account they would be charged and Mr. DeFoe said that he would charge them to the water main- tenance account. He said that in this account he has provision for 400 meters and this order will give him 300 meters. The Chairman suggested that if deliveries are not Authorize made until 1948 that Mr. DeFoe have the Town Accountant purchase of encumber the 1947 account so that he will be able to pay for them. Mr. Locke moved that the Sup' t. of Public water waters Works be authorized to purchase an additional 100 5/8" water meters. Mr. Emery seconded the motion, and it was so voted. Mr. DeFoe informed the Board that the Warren Pipe Company is now willing to take an order subject to funds being appropriated by Town Meeting in March. He stated that they were not receptive to this suggestion last year. Mr. DeFoe presented the Board with precinct maps showing the existing water mains throughout the town and also showing proposed water mains. The Chair- man suggested that it would be easier for the Board if Mr. DeFoe would take the requests that he has received I r 57 this past year and advise the Board as to the number of lineal feet which he will need. Mr. DeFoe stated that he has received requests for 6, 920 feet to 6" pipe; 6,000 of 8" pipe , 1, 500 feet of 10" pipe and 12,480 feet of 12" pipe. The Chairman explained that the 12" pipe also serves as a transmission line and he requested Mr. DeFoe to give the Board a breakdown as to streets. Mr. DeFoe said that he will need 6, 130 feet for Grove Street 1,670 feet for Winter Street 640 feet rot Woodcliff Avenue 325 feet for Hudson Road 665 feet for Marrett Road The Chairman inquired as to the price of the pipe and Mr. DeFoe stated that the price at the present time is Order for $1.57 for 6" pipe Water pipe 2.25 for 8" pipe Approved 3.02 for 10" pipe 3 .89 for 12" pipe A lengthy discussion was held relative to this subject and the Chairman said that he thought it would be wise for Mr. DeFoe to be given permission to place the orders on the 6", 8", 10" and 12" pipe, that will go under betterment assessments. He said that he didn 't think the town would be able to do very much more in 1948 to strengthen the system. Upon motion of Mr. Gay, seconded by Mr. Emery , i,t was voted to authorize the Sup' t. of Public Works to place an order for 8,000 feet of 6" pipe 7,000 feet of 8" pipe 1, 500 feet of 10" pipe 14,000 feet of 12" pipe with the definite understanding that the order is to be placed only if it is possible to make an arrangement with the supply house whereby the purchase will be subject to the appropriation of funds at the Annual Town Meeting, and with the provision that the price will be the pre- vailing price at the time of delivery. The Board also instructed Mr. DeFoe to obtain bids before placing an order. 58 Mr. DeFoe informed the Board that some trench blasting was done in the brook which runs by Mr. Replace MacBeth' s property and a number of the windows were window broken in his garage He said that Mr. MacBeth has broken by requested the town to replace the windows and he blasting on believes that Mr. Shea should be authorized to take MacBeth care of this. Mr. Locke moved that Mr. Shea be property. authorized to replace the windows broken by blasting. Err. Driscoll seconded the motion, and it was so voted. Mr. DeFoe said that he would like some definite procedure of outline for making a water service con- Prodecure for nection to a house when the main runs in the house water service just to the property. The Board felt that the full connection betterment assessment charge should be made but the individual given a period of ten years ih which to pay. Mr. DeFoe said that the Manor Sewer connections Manor sewer are not coming in very rapidly and it seems to him connections that the public should be made acquainted with the fact that the town is ready to make the connections. The Chairman said that it was entirely up to the Board but there are so many things that have to be done right now he would not be looking for additional work.

Driscoll asked if the Veterans had a bid and Mr. Fitzgerald said that they have been given an estimate of x, 800 . , but have nothing in writing.

Mr. Locke said that he thought Mr. Thayer should pay the assess- ment on the very last lot, but that the Board cannot determine the amount of the abatement until the cost is known. Mr. DeFoe explained that the estimate is $2,200 but he will not know the final cost until the road is finished. Mr. Locke said that the Board could take the easement and then there will be the question of damages. Mr. Locke said that if an easement is taken Mr. Thayer will, no doubt, claim that the easement is worth $2,000. The Chairman said that possibly the easiest thing to do would be to make a taking and argue the cost later. Mr. Locke said that the Board can only determine the abatement when the actual cost is known, and he did not think Board k the Bo rd should commit itself. He said that the easement will have to be recorded at the Registry of Deeds because the land will still be Mr. Thayer' s.

Mr. Locke asked if any of the men have objected to the hours which they work and Mr. DeFoe replied that they feel that they should make a living in an eight hour day.

Stevens stating that the facts on Goodwin Road F. L. Stevens so far as he has been able to receive them, are re still in great confusion. He requested a hear- Goodwin Road ing with the Board at which time Mr. Weisinger should be present with all the records pertain- ing to the work.
