cr
The final regulations governing the Agriculture Land ImtV
-
provement Project for Ralph Cataldo, 81 Bow Street, was dis-
cussed by the Board
Dr Cosgrove explained that Mr Cataldo had requested that
CATALDO ' S the permit state that any member of his family could carry on

he would agree to let the permit pass to Ralph ' s wife or son but
not to other members of the family such as one of the brothers
Mr Lambie said according to the regulations this permit
had to be renewed every 12 months
Dr Cosgrove said he agreed that the permit had to be re-
newed every 12 months but we had given Mr Cataldo a letter
approving the project for a period of 3 years to give to the
Town of Arlington
Dr Ellicott said no matter how the permit is worded we
still have the power to revoke this permit if there is any
violation to these regulations
Mr Heustis said he thought if the permit was issued in
both Mr Cataldo' s name and his wife ' s name that would cover
the immediate family
Dr Ellicott said not with standing this permit is non-
transferable and therefore must be renewed every year according
to our Rules and Regulations, Chapter IV, section 6 .
Mr Cataldo had also requested a starting time change
from 8:00 a m to 7 :00 a m because Arlington Public Works
Department starts to work at 7 :00 a m This was approved

Mr Heustis reported that a letter had been received from MASON-
the County Commissioners which stated that they would sustain MacDONALD
the ruling of the Board of Health in the case of Russell B Mason
and Walter MacDonald horse hearing held September 19, 1973 at
the County Commissioners Office
Dr Cosgrove reported that he and Mr Heustis had checked the
Battle Green Inn twice since the last Board Meeting and conditions
were very bad He said they have started to clean and paint BATTLE
but they were not moving as fast as he thought they should GREEN INN
Mr DeVries said he would do 4 rooms at a time but with only
one man working this procedure c uld take quite a long time
He went on to say there was no ,xagerat; on with the con-
ditions in the kitchen, but the hot water booster had been in-
!' stalled Mr DeVries had fired the manager and hired a new
manager. Mr Hanafin, the new manager, told Dr Cosgrove he was
a restaurant man more than a hotel man
Dr Cosgrove said he felt they were not making much progress
and after talking with Mr O'Connell he felt the Board should set
94
a reasonable time for Mi DeVries to get this place cleaned
up Dr Cosgrove said he felt a read enable time was ninety 044
days, then the Board could see how much of the job Mr DeVries
had done and if he was sincerely trying to get this work done
an extension could be granted.
Mr Heustis said he would take the memo sent to the Board
listing the things that had to be done and send a letter to Mr
DeVries stating that he had ninety days to make the corrections.
The Board approved this action
The Flu Clinic for the citizens 65 years of age or older
was discussed and it was agreed that the Clinic would be run
FLU CLINIC in conjunction with the Town Employee Clinic on October 18 and
November 1, 1973 A notice with a rear off registration blank
will be mailed to all members of the senior citizen group, an
ad will also be placed in the paper It was agreed that if
any of the senior citizens attending the Well Elderly Clinic
could not attend the clinics at Cary Hall provisions would be
made to take care of them at the Well Elderly Clinics, this
information would not be advertised
LVNA The request from the Lexington Visiting Nurse Association
BUDGET for a $2500 00 increase in payment of services to the Board
of Health was discussed 11Dr Ellicott stated that the L.V.N A. would be going up
on their costs per visits and also there was no indication that
the Trustee of public Trusts would give the Health Department
any funds for the Well Elderly Clinic for another year so that
was considered in this increase
A number of questions were asked about the services and the
sources of referral After a short discussion it was agreed to
ask Mrs Tapier and Mr Frank Totman to attend our next meeting
to discuss this $2500 00 increase
SUBDIVISION The premiminary plan of a subdivision entitled "Farmhurst"
"FARMHURST" off Bridge Street
Mr Heustis reported that this subdivision will have public
water and sewer but the Board of Health will be concerned with
the drainage. The plan submitted did not have enough information
shown on the plan therefore he will have to request that the
developer submit more information regarding the drainage and
also a plan showing the finished grades
MEDAS Mr Lambie said he thought Mr Heustis should check out
ANIMAL the horse stable located in the Lexington-Waltham line He
PERMIT said there was new buildings being built in that area and he
wondered if these would not make a difference in the keeping
of the horses there.
