2. Letter - Otto Scheuble, 3 Rock Ridge Road
The Supervisor at this time reported that Mr. Scheuble,

letter she had requested him to address to the Board at
its last meeting.
She thanked Mr. Scheuble and stated that his request would
be referred to the proper authority at once.
THE SUPERVISOR
In reply to the Supervisor's query as to whether anyone
present wished to bring any matter to the Board's attention,
the following persons were heard:
Dr. Alan C. Mason - 482 Weaver Street
Dr. Mason inquired whether the proposed reorganization of
the Town and two Villages would affect the application for
flood insurance which he recalled the Supervisor had been
authorized to execute and forward to Washington at the
December meeting.
The Supervisor replied that she did not think this appli-
cation would be in any way affected.
Dr. Mason also remarked that he believed certain communi-
ties in Long Island had already been advised that they
would receive such insurance and asked whether the Town
had been long delayed in filing its application or whether
the conditions in a certain community would perhaps hasten
the granting of such applications?
_ The Supervisor advised Dr. Mason that the Town had not
had any reply to its application as yet but she was hope-
ful that some word would be received in the near future.
Mr. Emanuel Warshauer - 30 Doris Lane
In reply to the Supervisor's query, Mr. Warshauer, after
thanking Mrs. Helwig, stated that he had only water prob-
- 16 -
lems -- nothing to bring to the attention of this Board.
Mr. and Mrs. Stanley B. Edwards - 54 Dean Place
-- Mr, and Mrs. Edwards addressed the Board and referring
-- to the aforementioned proposed consolidation of the Town
and Villages, stated that they would like to have it on
the record that they did not wish to be "given away" to
the Village.
Mr, Walter S. Bopp - President, Bonnie Briar Civic Association
In response to the Supervisor's question, Mr. Bopp stated
that he had no report to make this evening.

M.T.A. , on behalf of the Board, vehemently protesting the
proposed increased fare structure, a copy of which had been
forwarded to each member of the Board and which was here-
with ordered received and filed as part of the record of
this meeting although this would seem to be, she said,
almost an exercise in futility at this point.
The Councilmen --
Mr. Faiola --

School Bus Fare
Mr. Faiola reported to the Board that he had spoken to
- 17 -

Mr. Vandernoot --
1. Report - Tri-Municipal Study Committee
Mr. Vandernoot reported that the same Committee that had
constituted the Joint Survey Committee would constitute the
Tri-Municipal Study Committee with the exception of himself
who was succeeding Councilman Nagel who, as everyone was
aware, had resigned as Town Councilman on December 31st.
He stated that the Committee had met on December 28th and
determined as the first order of business that facts, figures,
and legal ramifications that would pertain to whatever kind
of consolidation might ever be able to take place must be
obtained.
He further reported that on last Thursday a meeting had
been held in the Village of Larchmont which had been
attended by Trustee Wanderer, Neal Doyle, Carmen DeLuca,
Joseph Altieri and himself who, he explained, would compile
budgetary figures for the possible combining of the Town and
Village of Larchmont which would be used for comparison with
the figures of Mamaroneck and Scarsdale Villages. He con-
cluded his report observing that certainly the work of this
Committee would require lots of time and lots of study, and
eventually he was certain the citizens of the community
would be called on for their aid and assistance.
