Meeting called to order at 7:30 p.m. Members present were Dr. Fine, Angelo Massa, and A. J.
Callahan, Jr. Also attending was Joseph Walsh, Jr.
After considerable discussion as to the merits of Mayor Grimes' proposal to incorporate both garbage
and rubbish in one collection, using District #5 as the test area, the Board approved the concept but
wanted more information and requested Mr. Walsh to make a continuing study of this proposal and
other collection and disposal techniques. Mr. Walsh will submit his report to the Board of Health as
soon as all information is obtained.
Therefore, the Board of Health unanimously felt that the collection of the garbage shordd be done by
private contractors as in the past and voted to award the contracts to the low bidders in each of the
following districts:
District # 1- Anibal Teixeira & Son
$17,000.00
District # 2 - Eastern Contract Disposal Inc.
$26,250.00
District # 3 - Eastern Contract Disposal Inc.
$13,425.00
District # 4 - Fred Waselchuk
$21,000.00
District # 5 - Albert F. Lawler
$13,520.00
TOTAL $91,195.00
Walsh was instructed to inspect Mr. Fred Waselchuk's equipment and check with the Town of Nahant
as to his performance before they could award the District #4 contract to him.
Board members signed the bill schedules and garbage contracts before adjourning the meeting at 9:30
p.m.
