Mr. Shaw asked permission of the Chair to put two questions to the Sewer Commission. The Chair indicated it would go along with the ques- tions but that it was up to the Department heads to answer.
1. How much would it cost, as of today if contracts were let to provide sewage to South Weymouth Hospital, schools, etc.
2. Are they presentely experiencing any difficulty in getting materials.
Mr. Field, for the Sewer Commission, volunteered to answer the last question first by saying there are no shortages of materials at present as they were purchased on the first contract. He stated the Sewer Com- mission had gone along the lines presented to and accepted by the Town Meeting in March, 1950. He estimated that $700,000 would be a fair figure to drive mains to Columbian Square; the choice then lie between Mill River or Swamp River but would probably be the latter.
Comes now the question on Mr. Roulston's motion. The noes have it and it is
LOST.
Comes now the question on Mr. Fern's substitute motion, as amended. The noes have it and it is
LOST.
Comes now the question on the Appropriation Committee's recom- mendation under Article 24.
