Present were Chairman Hodson, Secretary Watt, Board Members Brown, Florence and Kenney, and Superintendent Welch. Minutes of the previous meeting read and approved. Read note from Mr. Welch stating that a Release from Damages had been signed by the abutters to the storm drain easement between Tennyson Circle and the Coolidge Junior High School (See Plan 500-S-111). Hearing was held on Monday, January 111, 1963. Mr. Kenney moved that the Board of Public Works take the easement as shown on Plan 500-S-111 and sign the Order of LTaking; Mr. Brown seconded and it was voted. The Board then signed the Order of Taking. Read note from the Superintendent with reference to a request by Arthur Scott, 23 Ridge Road, that the Department plow out the narrow dirt road from the end of Ridge Road to his garage - in the rear of his house - and which faces onto the dirt road. Mr. Scottfs garage is the only building on the road which is used during winter months. Mr. Welch informed the Board that in the past the road has been plowed in heavy snowstorms but that Mr. Scott now wishes it to be plowed after every storm. A motion was passed some years ago that the Town would not plow any road- way regardless of its legal status unless two or more residences abutted on it. LMr. Florence moved that the request of Mr. Scott be denied with the understanding that the Department might at its convenience assist in heavy storms; Mr. Kenney seconded and the motion carried. Read note from Mr. Welch regarding the clearing of skating areas and costs, and his opinion that the expenditure of funds at this time of year is not warranted. It was the Board's decision that the skating areas be drained; Mr. Brown so moved, Mr. Kenney seconded and it was voted. Read letter from Jane P. Flynn, 146 Willow Street, re- garding surface drainage condition on Willow Street and the im- pounding of water in front of her home, and Mr. Welch's comments in relation thereto.
