July 20, 1923.
All Present but Mr. White.
The following matters were taken up and decisions made;
In regard to putting in Mr. Charleton's sewer
connection on Howard St., means an extension of the main
and on account of having to extend the whole main which
would be necessary and proper at this time it is the wish
of the Board that nothing be done at the present time.
Supt, was instructed to install two inlets at the
junction of Pleasant and John Ste. to carry the surface water
across John St. and from thence out into the gutter, preventing
same from running on Mr. Briggs private property.
A general discussion of the building lines of
Heading Square was taken up and Supt. was asked to have the
large meeting room ready for the hearing on Monday evening.
Sept. brought up the subject of building out the
shoulders on the road before permanent construction began and he
was instructed to do this.
Mr. Goodwin of Salem St. Fair Grounds appeared
before the Board to ascertain further whether water ser-
vices could be lead into the different houses that are
now built. He went into some length, discussing the dif-
ficulty of obtaining clear water and the Board instructed the
Supt. to go down there and estimate the cost of laying all
mains and connections to the various houses.
Mr. Pratt of Summer Ave. appeared before the
Board in relation to the surface water running down Ellis
Avenue and going on his property. It was explained to him that
no surface water drainage system was as yet installed in the
Town and those drains that are there now are not adequate
to take care of the general rain conditions. He was informed
at the present time nothing could be done.
Supt, was instructed to get the assessed valuation
of property on Salem St. Fair Urounds.
Supt. asked if it was all right to take the last
week in Sept. and the first week in October for a vacation
and the same was granted.
Meeting adjourned at 10:00 P.M.
