Article 13. Voted to rescind the approval given under Article 4 of the Special Town Meeting of September 6, 1950, relative to Sewer Assessments and to approve the following Regulations of the Water and Sewerage Board:
REGULATIONS RELATIVE TO SEWER ASSESSMENTS
1. The following regulations shall apply to all future extensions of the common sanitary sewer system at the expense of the Town, and to the entry of "particular" sewers into the common sewer system, except when a variance from these regulations to apply to a specific project is voted at any Town Meeting.
2. The owners of the land on both sides of the street benefited by any common sewer extension in a public way shall be assessed a total of not more than 75% of the total cost thereof; no assessment shall be made for sewer lines not in a public way, but a connection charge shall be made in accordance with Paragraph 6 below when applicable. Assessments shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 14 to 24 inclusive of Chapter 83 of the General Laws.
3. Assessments shall be in accordance with the frontage of the land on the public way in which the sewer line is laid. There shall be a minimum assessment based on frontage equal to the minimum width of lot required under the Zoning By-Laws in the area con- cerned; and these minimum assessments shall act to decrease the assessments on property with frontage greater than the minimum so that the total assessments shall not be greater than that cor- responding to the actual frontage.
4. There shall be no double or overlapping assessments; a corner lot which can be drained into a common sewer on one street shall be exempted in assessing for the second street to the extent that all or a portion of the lot is not benefited. At the end of a common sewer extension, all lots which can be served shall be fully assessed, except that no assessment shall be made beyond a line 120 feet from the last manhole. Exemptions from assessments shall be made for property owned by the Town and for rights of way deeded and dedicated to public use. No land shall be assessed which by reason of its grade or other cause cannot be drained into the sewer. These exemptions shall not act to increase the assessments on property not exempted.
122
5. Assessments shall become liens on the lands benefited, which liens shall be filed in the Registry of Deeds. With respect to land not built upon, or not yet connected to the common sewer system, the time allowed for payment of the assessment together with interest at 4% per annum shall be extended to a date 3 months after the land is built upon or connected, but in no case for more than 10 years. For the purpose of these regulations "land not built upon" shall include any lot or area in one ownership which is suitable for building purposes under the Zoning By-Law, and which is set aside from any other land in the same ownership which is built upon by definite boundaries as shown on a plan or in a description filed with the Water and Sewerage Board within 60 days after the sewer line is available for service.
6. The total cost of laying and connecting an individual or "par- ticular" sewer to the common sewer system shall in every case be borne by the property owner. In addition, when property not abutting on a public way, or not previously assessed for any reason becomes connected to a common sewer line installed by the Town, a Connection Charge shall be made in lieu of an assessment. This Connection Charge shall be equal in amount to the minimum frontage assessment as determined under Paragraph 3 above for the most recent common sewer extension installed by the Town.
Article 14. Voted to transfer the sum of $7,468.00 from free cash in the Treasury for the operation and maintenance of the Water Department for the year 1959.
Article 15. Voted to transfer the sum of $143.90 from Free Cash in the Town Treasury for the purpose of installing a traffic spotlight at the intersection of North and Main Streets.

Voted unanimously to accept as a Public Way that portion of Hillcrest Road between Station 6 plus 10 to 14 plus 59.57, a distance of about 850 feet, as laid out by the Board of Selectmen and shown on a plan entitled "Layout of Hillcrest Road in Medfield, Mass., September 15, 1959", and on file with the Town Clerk's Office and to authorize the Selectmen to acquire by eminent domain or otherwise such rights, titles, and easements as may be necessary to accomplish said purpose.
Article 22. Voted that this article be dismissed wherein salary adjustments for the Building, Wiring and Plumbing Inspectors was sought.
Article 23. Voted to transfer the sum of $650.00 from free cash in the Town Treasury to compensate the Building, Plumbing and Wiring Inspectors for their increased work due to the unprecedented rate of new building; said amount to be apportioned as follows:
Building Inspector
$350.00
Plumbing Inspector
