The Board approved this action ommo
Mr. Heustis explained that the Lexington Schools had
LEXINGTON made application to conduct a Child Care Center in 2 rooms at IIDAY CARE the Hancock United Church of Christ under the directorship
CENTER PUBLICof Mrs . Griffin, School Lunch Program Coordinator. This Day
SCHOOL Care Center is to be used to train High School girls in the
E W 0 W program
The Board asked if the staff listed on the application
met the required State qualifications for the conducting of
a Day Care Center It was noted that the Director had to have
a course in early childhood development .
Mr. Heustis said Mrs. Griffin had taken a course this
past summer in early childhood development and he was satisfied
that the staff met the State requirements

written proof was received from Mrs . Griffin that the director
and staff met the State Educational requirements .
Mr Heustis reported that after the Selectmen' s Hearing
BAMBOO HUT on complaints regarding the noise and debris at Bamboo Hut
he made an inspection and again found several violations . A
letter was sent to Mr. Woo, proprietor, stating that if these
violations continue his Food Establishment Permit would be
revoked .
Mr Heustis said Bamboo Hut is enlarging their establishment II
to meet the requirements for a liquor license This license is
granted by the Board of Selectmen.
Dr Cosgrove commented we have closed this place before
because of serious Health violations , I feel that if we con-
tinue to have these violations they should be closed permanently
We might recommend to the Board of Selectmen that before a
liquor license is issued the Common Victualers Permit be reviewed
The hours of operation are set by the Selectmen so that is up
to them.
Mr Heustis was instructed to follow-up on this matter.
FAST FOODS Mr. Heustis reported that when he was in the area of the
Bamboo Hut he noticed employees of the Fast Food Meat Services
washing equipment on the sidewalk, the drainage water was going
into the storm drain This is a violation of the State Sanitary
Code and a letter was written to the owner ordering him to stop
this practice. Fast Food Meat Service is a wholesale operation
and is therefore under State supervision so a copy of this order
was sent to the Food & Drug Administration
TEMPLE The letter regarding the sewage disposal system at the IIEMUNAH Temple Emunah 9 Piper Road, was discussed by the Board.
Mr. Heustis explained that there was no public sewer
available for Temple Emunah and they have had a problem of over-
flowing sewage in the past but they have taken care of the
matter now and everything seems to be all right .

The Board asked if Mr. Heustis would try to get an up to
date public works chap of the Town Sewage System so that when
these sewer problems came up the Board could refer to it .
Mr. Heustis reported that Mrs . Joyce Hals, League of Women
Voters , had been making a survey of the Town Sanitary Land Fill
operation. Also, Mr. John Connelly, Inspector from the State SANITARY
Health Department, had made an inspection of the Land Fill LAND FILL
Operation and stated it was one of the worst ones he has seen.
A report will be received from the State in the near future
but Mr Connelly did leave a preliminary report the day of the
inspection
The Board discussed the Land Fill Oneration and suggested
Mr. Heustis notify Mr O' Connell , Town Manager, of the State
inspection . The Board agreed it would be better to call at-
tention to this problem before the Budget is made out for the
coming year because if the Land Fill is conducted properly it
will be a costly operation
Mr Heustis reported that a group of Junior and Senior MARCH FOR
High School pupils were planning a "March for Mankind" and had MANKIND
inquired about using the portable facilities used this summer
at the "Old Res" They were told that these facilities were

suggested that maybe they could look into using the facilities
in the various public buildings they plan to pass on the March.

suggested that a letter be written to Town Manager stating that A'LUORI-
at the present time the matter of Fluoridation was being held-up DATION
