BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING
September 18, 1947
A meeting of the Board of Health was held in the
Selectmen's Room, Town Office Building on Thursday,
September 18, 1947 at 4:00 p.m. Messrs. Russell,
McQuillan and Lamont were present. The Agent was
also present.
Application was received from Mrs. Sara E. Bick-
ford, 82 Waltham Street for a renewal of her license
to maintain a boarding home for infants.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted
that the application be approved and the license
renewed.
Application was received from Dr. Francis p.
Dawson, Superintendent of the Middlesex County San-
atorium, for re -admission of Louis McDonnell, 28
Vine Street, Lexington. Mr. McDonnell was a patient
at the Sanatorium from September 28, 1942 through
February 4, 1944, and has a Lexington settlement.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted
to approve the application.
Letter was received from Hugh Stubbins, Jr.,
103 Pleasant Street, Lexington registering a complaint
of the dumping between Watertown Street and Route 2.
Mr. Lamont reported that he has posted "No Dumping"
sigmas in this area, but someone has removed them.
He agreed to check'the matter further and obtain new
signs.
Letter was received from C. Raymond Reed, 1721
Massachusetts Avenue, Lexington requesting that his
drug store be designated as a Board of Health Depot.
The Board decided that inasmuch as Martin's
drug store has maintained a depot for a number of
years, and the stares are so closely located, that
there is no justification in establishing two dis-
tributing points.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted
to elect Mr. R. L. McQuillan as Chairman for the Board
of Health for a period expiring June, 1948.

The Board discussed the possibility of placing
"Approved" signs in the various restaurants in town.
Mr. Russell suggested that the signs be checked each
month.
The Agent called the Board's attention to the
fact that inquiries haiae been made relative to the
possibility of publishing reports received on milk
analysis.
The Board felt that it was not necessary to
publish this information inasmuch as it is available
at the Office of the Board of Health.
Mr. Russell mentioned that the Board of Appeals
has a hearing scheduled relative to the petition of
Ann Silverman for permission to erect and maintain,
on the premises located at 2938 Massachusetts Avenue,
a building consisting of a refrigeration room, storage
shed and poultry slaughter houBe.
It was decided to write the Chairman of the Board
of Appeals and 'call his attention to the fact that
granting a license for poultry slaughtering is under
the jurisdiction of the Board of Health.
The meeting adjourned at 4:35 p.m.
