A letter was received from Mr. McConchie enclosing a bill fromWhitman & Howard in the amount of $420.00 for a survey and tests to correct the serious sewage condition Mdt`onchie . at Longfellow and Hawthorne Roads . The members of the Board feel that this expense should be borne by Mr . McConchie, as this was the opinion of the Board at a meeting in Decem- ber 17, 1954, when this situation arose. Mr. McQuillan suggested that a letter be sent to Mr. McConchie, returning the bill to him, and explaining that the Board feltsthat this was his obligation. Mr. Jerry Cataldo appeared before the Board to request permission from the Board to fill in the lowlands on property he owns on Bow Street. It was his intention to have the Cataldo Town of Adlington dump in this area. They would have equip- ment there to dig trenches for the fill, and then cover over, and eventually raise the land to a higher level. As it is , now, they cannot plant as the brook which runs through over- flows onto this land. This rubbish would consist of house rubbish and street cleanings. Mr. McQuillan stated that this was the first time a situation such as this had come up, and he would rather have the Board of Selectmen be advised of this, and made an appointment for Mr. Cataldo to appear before the Board of Selectmen on Monday, April 25, and outline this plan to them. A letter was received from Father John Kineen asking Father permission to have the same treatment for land he owns on Vine Kineen Street , Lexington. Both of these letters were sent to the Board of Selectmen requesting their advice. Mr. McConchie had an appointment with the Board regarding building on lot on Hawthorne & Longfellow Roads , but didnot keep his appointment. A letter was sent to Mr. Monsignore , with copy to Mr. Monsignor4 Davis , by Mr. McQuillan advising them that the Board did not deem it advisable to renew the slaughter house license which expired on April 30, 1955. A complaint was received by the Department regarding MCCrossen damage to shrubbery done by goats owned by Dr. M cCrossen 250 co Fri 044 of 627 Massachusetts Avenue , Lexington.
