He sat he went with Deputy Fire Chief Fradette to inspect
Franklin School th oth r day This was in ans =r to e complaint
from th- school nurse Mrs. Packer Deputy Fradete was amazed
to find old scatter rugs upholstered furniture and corragated
boxes used in th classrooms. The boxes were used to make houses,
they were used for shelves and a number of other things. This
would be a real problem in case of fire . The school nurses are
very concerned about the use of the rugs and furniture because
there is no means of cleaning them properly.
The Board asked if the furniture and rugs could be a con-
tributing factor in the spread of the lice and nits. Mr Heustis
said Y s.
Dr Cosgrove said he thought the school would do well to
bring in a professional exterminator but this lice was a health
problem. The furniture although he did not approve was a school
problem and he felt it up to the school to see that it was taken
care of properly.
Mr. Heustis said he thought the school nurses were looking
to the Board of Health to take a firm stand on some of these
things .
After further discussion it was agreed that the Board should
be in the position of a consultant. The school should Fret the
problem cleaned up and then they could adopt certain policies
which would prevent a situation like this in the future.
The Board agreed that they would support the suggestion that
the Town should have a doctor for pre-employment physicals for TOWN
police and fire personnel also Public Works . Dr. Ellicott said DOCTOR
he would suggest a fee per service basis rather than a flat re-
tainer rate
