was decided to ask written approval from Mr. Gayer, Superintendent Law
of Wublic Works and Town Engineer, of drainage in the case of sub-
divisions before the Board of Health approval is given to the Plan-

The Board discussed Potters' Piggery. At the special meeting
Potters on June 2L with the Potters and the committee from Minute Man
Piggery Highlands the Board had been asked to hold another informal
meeting in September to discuss the problem during the summer
months now that the Potters are hauling the manure off the farm
weekly. Mrs. Herterick called during the meeting and requested
a date be set. The Board set Wednesday, October 29, 7.30 P.M. ,
Selectmen' s Room, Town Office Building for this meeting, and
will notify the Potters and the Minute Man Highlands Committee.
The Board expressed the opinion that it seems to them that the
committee is preparing to put pressure on the Potters, and it
should rightly come from the committee. So long as the piggery
abides by the regulations of the board of Health, the Board will
issue a license.
Ward An application from Mr. Walter A. Ward, 4 Bruce Road, for
Premature assistance for hospitilization bills for a premature infant was
Baby discussed. The Board denied this application with the feeling
that Mr. Ward' s salary is sufficient to take care of this matter
without the help of the town.
CP Mr. Lurvey brought up the matter of a cesspool to be built
Garfield on Garfield Street which would be about 1301 from a sewer. The
St. Board decided that a rule should be established that any lot that
is within 2001 or less from a sewer should be connected to the
public sewer. Heretofore no rule has been set as to the actual
distance from a sewer when the owner should be asked to connect.
Budget The budget for the Health Department for 1959 was made out,
increasing some items, and decreasing others.
The next regular meeting of the Board will be on Friday,
November 21, 1958.
The Board adjourned at 4.45 P.M.
