Mr. Stevens said he had an engineering contract
with Whitman & Howard which is a little different than
the contracts in prior years in that it incorporates Engineering
in one instrument the contracts for sewers, streets, contract
sidewalks and drainage, naming all the streets .
Mr. Carroll reported that the Town will receive
a credit of $5700 for preliminary engineering work
already done . He said the rates in this contract would
be the same as in prior years.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted
to sign Contract No. 1962 - 1 with Whitman & Howard as
presented by Mr. Stevens .
The Chairman read a letter from Mr. Snow, Planning
Director, advising that he had obtained from John J.
and Muriel McDonnell and Dominic C . Luongo, Jr. , an Option
option to purchase for $3500 lots 166 to 169, inclusive,
fronting on Young Street as part of the proposed ele-
mentary school site in the Laconia-Young-Webb Streets
area.
Mr . Stevens presented a plan and indicated the land •
for which the option has been received.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted
to authorize Mr. Stevens to prepare the necessary in-
_ -- strument to execute the option .
Mr. Stevens reviewed the subject of an accident
which occurred in 1956 when a Mrs. Edythe B. Yeomans,
10 Winter Street, Medford, fell in front of Blake ' s
store, 1782 Massachusetts Avenue . Claim
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted
to authorize Mr. Stevens to settle the claim for $150.
The Chairman read a letter from Mr . Stevens ad-
vising that by written agreement of the parties, judg-
ment was entered on behalf of Murray T . Potter and his
wife against the Commonwealth on Monday, May 21, 1962,
in the amount of $4,$50 .00, which includes interest ,
taxes, damages and court costs; one-half Of this amount
to be paid by the Town to the Commonwealth.
• The Chairman read a letter from John R. Gillis,
112 Pleasant Street , claiming damages in the amount of $1500
for a permanent sewer easement taken in Lot 3, Pleasant
Street .
Mr. Stevens explained that in 1960 a •permanent Claim
sewer easement and a temporary construction easement was
taken; the temporary construction easement to terminate
thirty days after completion of the sewer construction
and in any event not later than August 8, 1961. It
430 N:
was not possible to complete the sewer construction •
by August 8, 1961 and by order of taking, dated June 28,
1961, the Town extended the temporary construction easement
to terminate not later than December 31, 1961. He stated
that the rights to do anything about the permanent easement
have expired, and all he can recover is whatever the value
is of the damage from August 8, 1961 to December 31, 1961.
It was agreed to write Mr . Gillis a letter to clarify
the situation .
Mr . James Carrig and his son, Robert, met with th
Board. Mr. Robert Carrig was the spokesman, and referred
to Section 4, Minute Man High-Lands . He stated that he
had received approval by the Planning Board of the sub-division
submitted to it and the approval is contingent upon his
building a seventy-foot roadway in place of a fifty-foot
roadway. He said he understood there are several ways
this can be done . He asked how the roadway would be con-
Carrig strutted and how he could get his money back. He said he
Minute Man would like to have the Town build that section of street
High-Lands and assess the cost of the fifty-foot roadway, he would
Section Four have built , to the individual lots under betterment . He
stated this would apply to one street only. He said it
would create a problem to the people to whom he has sold
the land, trying to do it any other way, because the fifty-
foot roadway they thought would be built was to be built
in pieces.
Mr. Carrig said this is the lower end of Worthen
Road. The State will take no action to permit the Town
to intercept Route 2 or whatever interchange it has in
mind. He stated it would be an advantage tothe Town
in building this; assessing the betterments for the
fifty-foot roadway would also have a standing with the
State by completing this road. He said this street
would coincide with Worthen Road.
Mr . Carroll said this subject was discussed before
and one of the alternatives considered and approved by
the Planning board and Board of Selectmen was for the
Town to appropriate a certain sum of money, ' the sub-
divider to put up his share and then the Town go ahead
and build it . Any difference which would be paid back
to the subdivider would be straightened out later on. He
said Mr. Carrig was proposing something different; the
Town build it and then assess betterments .
The Chairman said this is a matter of policy and in
general has been done before but not under betterments .
Mr. Carrig said the conditions on which the approxal
was given were different than what he expected. At the
request of the Planning Board, he increased the size of
the roadway to seventy feet . He said he had no knowledge
that the seventy-foot roadway was supposed to come in here
itEfl
and it was nothing he could anticipate and he would like
a solution.
The Chairman said the Board would have to discuss
the subject .
The Carrigs retired at 8:28 P.M.
Mr. Stevens also retired.
The Board of Fire Commissioners met with the Select-
men.
The Chairman explained that the Commissioners had
been asked in because the appointment of a Forest Warden
was coming up . He said he did not know if it was a con-
tinuing policy to appoint the Chairman of the Board of
Fire Commissioners and wanted to know if that is the way
the Commissioners want to do it . Forest
The Commissioners preferred to have the Chairman Warden
appointed; the Chief Engineer to carry on as he has
before on the actual fire fighting.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted
to appoint Mr. William P. Fitzgerald as Forest Warden
for a term expiring June 1, 1963.
The Chairman stated that the Board has decided this
year to make a change in policy and has sufficient in-
- formation to review budgets in the beginning of the
year as to how they are going and how much has been spent .
Mr. Roeder said if he or the Chairman had known, they
would have brought the desired information .
The Chairman discussed the various items in the Fire Dept .
budget and said that the Commissioners had worked out budget
well on advance planning of equipment . He asked if
they could give the Board a long-range plan on personnel,
what is really needed to make a perfect Fire Department
and how many men on each shift .
Mr . Richards said he did not believe this should
be included in the budget . It is well known that there
is going to be a third station. He asked first, on the
operatingefficiency of the department , how many men
would be needed, taking into account the growth of the
Town, plus what factors rezoning would accelerate the
need for a larger department . He said the department
might need the men earlier than it would just on popu-
lation .
The Chairman said the Board would like to have some
ideas of the operating expenses for next year.
Mr. Roeder stated that each year between $100'Cand
$600 is spent to repair the slate roofs and explained
that the Commissioners feel it would be better to re-
place one side of the station each year with asphalt
shingles .

The Chairman suggested that the Commissioners •
obtain some figures of what the new roofs would cost
before the next budget is prepared.
The Commissioners retired at 9: 00 P.M.
Mr. Fred T. Hersom, 30 Blake Road, met with the
Board, relative to a dog owned by Mr. Paul Wagner, 33
Blake Road.
Mr. Hersom said the action of the Board seemed in-
consistent with the evidence he has, so he thought the
answer was that the Board did not have the evidence. He
stated the case began a year ago when an appeal was made
to the Board for an order of restraint which was asked
Wagner Dog for because of several years of harassment; the principal
harassment being occasioned by the dog leaping at the car
attempting to bite the driver. Other forms were leaping
at his wife and daughter who were both sent prostrate to
the ground. One of the worst forms was continuing bark-
ing all night long. He said he appealed to the Board
and the owner was taken tocourt, and there were several
witnesses whom the prosecutor did not see fit to use.
He said the owner of the dog was found guilty and the
case placed on file. He said he has seen the dog in the
community on a leash in compan y of Mr. Wagner and off the
leash in company of Mrs . Wagner. He said the dog has •
twice assaulted him, he believed by direction of Mrs .
Wagner . Mr . Hersom said he understood the Dog Officer
furnished a report and the Board felt that while the
order of restraint should remain in force, any legal
action necessary to enforce it was up to him.
The Chairman explained that Mr. Hersom could make
the complaint and the Dog Officer would go to court .
Mr. Hersom said he did not see much sense in going
to court . He said the witnesses were not called and
the inference was that he was the only person the dog
attacked. * He said the dog was around April 24. His
garage is elevated from the street about ten feet, and
when he backed the car out , he saw no dog. As soon as
he drove ahead, the dog tried to go through the window.
He said a week later, the same thing happened and he chose . •
to believe it was at the direction of Mrs. Wagner this was
done . He said the dog was loose and did make the attack
by trying to jump in the window. He said he wanted some
assurance that he could drive out of his driveway without
• being attacked. The second attack was on hay 1.
The Chairman asked if Mr. Hersom had seen the dog
since, and he replied in the negative. He said he noti-
fied the Dog Officer, and his information to him was
that he did not see the attack and he could not do any-
thing about it, but Mr. Hersom could if he so chose . •
He said he made no complaint to the Court and does not • •
He said there have been at least twelve people who have
been attacked.
intend to and he felt the Dog Officer has been remiss
in his duty. He said this has all the appearances of
having differential treatment by this officer.
The Chairman asked who, and Mr. Hersom replied
Mr. Wagner.
Mr. Hersom said he does not make a complaint unless
it is so and he can produce witnesses. He said he has
since talked to the District Attorney who suggested that
the Board has authority to put pressure on this man to
have him obey the Board' s order, and if it is not done,
he is to talk to the District fttorney again .
Mr. Burnell said this dog is now in Acton or has
been housed there for some time.
Mr. Hersom said the Dog Officer says he is licensed
in Acton and in Lexington only when it is necessary to
consult a veterinary. He said he has seen him many
times in the last six months riding in the car driven
by Mr. Wagner so he knows he has been in Lexington over-
night . He said he is a male boxer, a fairly large dog.
Mr. Cole asked if Mr. Hersom was ever bothered by
the dog when he was not in his car and Mr. Hersom replied
in the negative.
Mr. Cole said there is no record of this dog having
ever bitten anyone, and Mr. Hersom said this was probably
true . He said he did not know of anyone having been
bitten but they have been scared to death.
The Chairman asked if Mr. Hersom called the
police every time he aaw the dog.
Mr. Hersom replied in the negative. He said he
saw the dog on a leash in front of the house, free of
a leash in the street and in Mr . Wagner' s car early in
the morning, seven or seven-thirty.
The Chairman said as he understood it, Mr. Hersom
did not choose , under any circumstances, to go to Concord
Court .
Mr. Herscm replied that, aftir the first trial, he
did not think it would be effective.
Mr. Richards explained that each time the dog is
in violation of the order , a new complaint of- violation is
made, it becomes a matter of more severe penalty because
the record is before the court .
The Chairman said the Board would take the matter
under advisement and let Mr. Herscm know.
Mr. Herscm retired at 9:17 P.M.
Mr. Cole said he was satisfied with Officer Foents
report .
Mr . Richards said if Mr. Hersom does bring a complaint ,
he thought it would be proper for the Board to assign
some officer other than Officer Porten, because he felt
Mr. Hersom has lost confidence in him. However, he said
there has to be a complaint .
as
434u
Mr. Cole said he thought if the Boa- d has confidence
in Officer Forten, it should support him.
Mr. Burnell said the officer submitted a very good
report and suggested leaving the situation as it is . He
said if Mr. Hersom wants to issue a complaint, the Board
could have the Dog Officer prosecute .
It was the consensus of opinion that the conditions
do not necessitate any action by the Board at this time .
Mr. John J. Carroll returned to the meeting.
Mr. Carroll reported that on June 11, he will be
Bids taking bids on the bleachers and reconstruction of ap-
proximately 2,000 square feet of concrete sidewalks in
the Center.
Mr. Carroll informed the Board that he had a call
from Mr . Hennessey re the Raytheon water contract and
Water rate the increase in rates . He said there is no question
in his mind but that the Board will hear from them again
before they accept the rate .
Mr. Carroll reported that he took bids on a shovel
dozer for the dump. He exttlained that he asked for
alternate bids, trading in a 1954 machine and a 1958
Bids bulldozer, and received five bids . •
Following an analysis of the bids, it was voted
to accept the net bid of $21,800 for a TD-l5, trading
in an HD-11.
Mr. Carroll said there will be $11,266 remaining
in the account and he would like to discuss the pur-
chase of a pickup truck for Mr. Coscia, who acts as
a construction inspector . He explained that Mr.
Coscia now shares a truck with the meter repair man
and if he has to go anywhere in the morning, he uses
his own car . He explained that Mr. Coscia inspects
Pickup all subdivisions and works as a liaison with the State
truck on Route 128. He said he has saved the Town money
by being at the right place at the right time . He
also works with the telephone company. He stated that
there is a need for the position and it has worked out
very well.
Motion was made that Mr. Carroll be authorized to
prepare bids.
Mr. Richards said the Town now has considerable
equipment , and at some point, it must be realized that
everyone does not have to have a vehicle . He explained
that he did not question Mr . Carroll' s feeling, but stated
that the initial cost is a very small part . He said
there are not enough men to care for the vehicles and they
flies
are not being used to the utmost and he did not feel he
could go along with an additional vehicle unless he could
see the need. He exi,.lainedtthat if a man is forced to
- use his own car, he was in favor of seeing that he is re-
imbursed.
The motion that Mr. Carroll be authorized to prepare
bids was not seconded, and, therefore, lost .
Mr. Carroll retired at 10:08 P.M.
The Chairman reported that a telephone call had been
received from Mr. Volante, 85 Lowell Street, asking what
