December 14, 1964
Regular meeting of the Board of Public Works opened at
7:50 P.M. in Room 16, Municipal Building.
Present were Chairman Kenney, Secretary Cochrane,
Board Members Leonard and Watt and Superintendent Welch.
Minutes of the previous meeting read and approved.
Read note from the Superintendent in regard to the de-
lay in turning on lights at the skating areas. The Superintendent
stated that in his opinion the lights should not be turned on
until the ice is at least four inches thick.
The Board received report from Camp, Dresser & McKee
regarding excavation at 100 Acre. In brief, the report states
that in their opinion anything which has been done there now
will not affect our water supply. If it is continued across the
meadow to a point where the river has been widened, then it un-
doubtedly will have a damaging effect on the water supply. The
Board Members will study the report.
The Board adjourned temporarily at 7:55 P.M. to meet
as the Board of Survey.
The Board reconvened at 8:45 P.M.
The Superintendent presented to the Board comparison
of estimated costs relating to rubbish disposal, including in-
cineration, sanitary land fill, yard pick-up, etc. Certain in-
formation was based on figures taken from the Camp, Dresser &
McKee report. The Board agreed to accept the data as a point of
Information.

- Read letter from Austin Preparatory School request-
ing that the roadway leading from Willow Street to Austin
Preparatory School be plowed on the occasion of such snowfall
as would render the roadway impassable to vehicular traffic. In
support of the application, the letter cites the public utility
and convenience of this service for residents of the Town and
others as well as the necessity of providing access to the
School for fire equipment and emergency vehicles.
Mr. Watt moved that Austin Preparatory School be ad-
vised that private property should be plowed by a contractor
but in the event of a breakdown, the Department will be glad
to cooperate; Mr. Leonard seconded and it was voted.

Evening, December 28, 1964, will be omitted. '
The Board signed the Billroll dated December 11,1964.
