The monthly meeting of the Board of Health was held on Friday,
October 17, 1958, at 3 P.M. with all present; Dhairman McQuillan,
Dr. Cosgrove, Mr. Cole, and Mr. Lurvey, the Health Officer.
Mr. Kraynick, Whitman & Howard engineer, joined the Board for
a discussion of two subdivisions and the new subdivision law. It
was decided to ask written approval from Mr. Gayer, Superintendent
of Wublic Works and Town Engineer, of drainage in the came of sub-
divisions before the Board of Health approval is given to the Plan-
ning Board. It was also suggested that plans should include sewers,
not just on the profiles. Mr. Lurvey is waiting for word from the
Town Counsel on the new subdivision law.
After an investigation of 52 Winter Street for Mrs. Theresa
Iodice, Mr. Lurvey said he recommended approval of a child care
license provided she has the tree stumps in the yard area removed.
During the meeting Mrs. Iodice telephoned to say this had been
done, and the Board approved issuance of a license, to be sent to
Mrs. Iodice after Mr. Lurvey has checked the area again.
An investigation by Mr. Lurvey showed that Mrs. Wilda Ward,
233 East Street, has complied with the request of the Board that
she correct the entrance and provide better lighting for her child
care center before she opens the school this fall.
Mr. Lurvey reported that he had turned over a letter from the
principal of the Franklin School to the Public Works department in
regard to inadequate collection of garbage at the school. The
Board agreed that only if the Public Works Department and the School
cannot come to some agreement, should the Board of Health step in.
Mr. Lurvey reported letters had been sent to all concerned in
the case of the overflowing cesspool at 20 Meriam Street owned by
Mr. Benjamin Fogler, now in Manila.
On Mr. Lurvey's recommendation after an investigation, the
Home for the Aged at 2C27 Massachusetts Avenue was approved for
a license.

Budget
The Board discussed Potters' Piggery. At the special meeting
on June 2L with the Potters and the committee from Minute Man
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.
An application from Mr. Walter A. Ward, !} Bruce Road, for
assistance for hospitilization bills for a premature infant was
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.
Mr. Lurvey brought up the matter of a cesspool to be built
on Garfield Street which would be about 1301 from a sewer. The
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.
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.
