BOARD OF HEALTH MEETING SEPTEMBER 13, 1965 1 The regular meeting of the Board of Health was held Mon- day evening September 13, 1965 at 7:00 P.M. in the conference room of the New Town Office Building. Members present were R.L. McQuillan, Chairman, Dr. William Cosgrove, Mr. James M. West and James F. Finneran, Director of Public Health. The minutes of the July 12, 1965 meeting were approved as read. The application for an animal permit to keep 2 horses 500 LOWELL at 500 Lowell Street by Mr. Paul Rosa, Jr. was discussed by STREET the Board. Mr. Finneran reported to the Board that Mr. Rosa's lot was small, 16,000 square feet, the horse would be housed in the garage and an area of about 2100 square feet would be available for a corral. Although five abbuttors on Lowell Street offered no objection, Mr. Salavatore Ferraguto, 145 Laconia Street, did come in to the meeting to state his ob- jections. The Board checked the copy of the assessors map and the report made by Mr. Finneran and then spoke to Mr. Rosa 1 77 and Mr. Ferraguto. Mr. McQuillan: Mr. Rosa, this area to corral a horse is very small. A horse could not be properly excercised in so small an area. Mr. Rosa: In back of my house off Laconia Street is woods and the people there have no objection to our riding the horse there. I want the horse for my boys. Mr. Ferrugato: My house and property is more involved than the abbuttors on Lowell Street. I do object to a horse being there. The corral would face Laconia Street and come within 145 feet of my property. Mr. McQuillan: We really feel that this area is too small. Mr. Finneran: When a permit is issued it is because the area for the corral and stable is large enough so that the horse can be kept on the property. The Board after further discussion with Mr. Rosa made a motion that permission to keep a horse at 500 Lowell Street be denied be- cause of insufficient area. Mr. Rosa and Mr. Ferrugato retired. Mr. and Mrs. Walter McDonald, 14 East Street came before 14 EAST ST. the Board for a permit to keep 2 horses at 14 East Street. Mr. Finneran reported that there had been no objections from the abbuttors and a barn was attached to the house. A corral would be needed but there was sufficient area for that. The Board discussed the location of the corral with Mr. & Mrs. McDonald and a motion was made and dully passed that per- mission to keep 2 horses at 14 East Street was granted to Mr. & Mrs. McDonald providing a corral was erected to Mr. Finneran's satisfaction. Permission to keep 1 horse was requested by Mrs. Elios 115 BURLINGTON Eames, 115 Burlington Street. STREET Mr. Finneran reported that the area showed 2 acres of land and the stable and corral would be located more than 100 feet from any of the abbutting dwellings. The Board moved and seconded that permission be granted Mrs. Eames to keep 1 horse at 115 Burlington Street. Mr. McQuillan reported to the Board of the visit made by CUMMINGS CASE 78 he and Mr. Finneran to the District Attorney's Office. Mr. McQuillan said he was amazed at the treatment they received Mr. Droney would not even talk to them to discuss the Cummings Case at all. Dr. Cosgrove said he had set up the appointment in the name of the Board of Health and Mr. Droney's Secretary under- stood that. Mr. West said with the reports of this visit we have now done all we can. Mr. McQuillan said he would like to have the Board's per- mission to write a "White Paper" to be sent to all Town Meeting members showing how the Board of Selectmen have hindered the Board in carrying out the duty of the Board of Health. He also said if he did not do that he was willing to make an appoint- ment with the Chairman and one member of the Board of Selectmen to discuss this case. 04.0 1 Mr. West and Dr. Cosgrove both agreed that a meeting should be set-up but both felt that Town Counsel, Donald Legro, should be the person to meet with. The "White Paper" should be used only as a last appeal. Mr. McQuillan said he did not want to meet with Town Counsel,' Mr. West pointed out that if Mr. Cole or any member of the Board of Selectmen met with the Board they would not agree to anything unless they had Town Counsel's advice. Mr. McQuillan read the Board the letter he had received from Mr. Cole regarding the Cummings Case. Mr. West said rather than go any further I feel we should request that Town Counsel attend our meeting to go over every fact of the Cumming's Case and explain to this Board's sati$e faction why no action has been taken to dissolve the restraining order and then if Town Counsel refuses we will go to the "White Paper". Mr. McQuillan asked if the Board of Selectmen should be notified too. The Board discussed this and decided that a copy of the request to Mr. Legro should be sent to Mr. Cole. Motion was made and dully passed that a letter be written to Mr. Legro, Town Counsel, stating that it was most urgent that the Cumming's Case be settled as soon as possible and requesting Mr. Legro to attend a Special Meeting (date and time set by him) 1 79 of the Board of Health to discuss all the facts of this case. This Meeting must be set-up within the next ten (10) days. Mr. West said a chronological paper with dates and facts should be compiled for each member of the Board and Mr. Legro. He said he would like the Board to have this paper at least a day before the meeting. Mr. McQuillan said he would not call this an executive meeting and then if Mr. Legro does not give any satisfactory answers the facts can be given to the press. Mr. West said to be sure to state in the letter to Mr. Legro requesting a meeting that a date and time be set within the next ten (10) days, also request a reply to this letter.
