TOWN OF i ASHPEE, BOARD of HEALTH, MEETI , MARCH 73 1988 Page two . Copy,{ ltr. , Town Counse 1 to Exec sec re: Designation of Cemetery. "Chair: I suppose if the Cemetery Commission doesn't have the vote of the town to give then the six acres, the whole thing becomes mute so we have to wait un- til the article is passed before theyome before us to ask for ars assignment. If we have to grant the assignment before hard, we have time enough before the annual to call a public hearing, i don 't. I can't think of anything up there to say that they can't move to the adjoining lot, there are pre-existing prob- lems up there. There hasn't been any problems from the cemetery before and I don't thin 'there should be now, it's not situated so. thatsurface or ground drainage can enter a pond, stream or reservoir, or a public water supply. . 1 think Joe is ducking two points here, i don't like his third paragraph, it's unclear whether chap. 114 would be applicab le to the extension of an existing cemetery, owned by the town, onto other land also owned by the town. I think f problem to have public What Joe i saying is that it's not that much o p P hearing and therefore whether or not it applies to the law in. either event. But, l guess we have to wait to hear from the Cemetery Commission to see if they want a hearing before the town meeting -or after the town meeting; until the town meeting gives them the land, they have no land on which to expand. So, the whole thing doesn't-mean anything'," 8. Copy, ltr. , McGregor, Shea & Dol finer re: Stratford Ponds. .
