DRAINAGE COMPLAINT:
A Mrs. Chiampa appeared before the Board on her complaint that sewerage was backing up from
water drains on her street, Glenwood Avenue. Jack Erle explained that the Public Work's
Superintendent stated that any heavy, sudden rainfall will overflow the drains. To eleviate
the situation, clean up plugs are removed and water drains into sewer pipes causing pressure
resulting in back up of sewers. The Selectmen recommended that the Public Works Dept. be con-

town clean up the street and Chairman Guthrie requested J. Erle to contact the Public Works
to do the job.
REGIONAL SOLID WASTE COMMITTEE:
Chairman Guthrie advised the Board that he would like to contact the Moderator, Attorney
Donald Smith, who appoints members of the Regional Solid Waste Committee, indicating that
