Murray Notary Public My commission expires November 21, 1964 j rYl1 ai � 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 . J,63 F-C J 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 action the Town is going to take relative to the Busa farm stand operating at 52 Lowell Street . Complaint Mr. Irwin, Building Inspector, wrote Mr. Busa on May 21, 1962 to cease the operation by June 18, 1962 unless prior to such time an application. has been filed with the Board of Appeals for special permission to operate the roadside stand.
