Mr. Segall stated that he had called the Town Office to request repair of this badly pot-holed road and that the Highway Superintendent had agreed to inspect the road, but had pointed out that since this was not a Town road, the Town was not responsible for its maintenance or repair. Mr. Segall pointed out that the road had been repaired five years ago and that he was a resident of some 13 years and felt strongly as a taxpayer that the -4- Town should repair and maintain the road, taking it over if necessary to do so. The Town Attorney called Mr. Segall's attention to the fact that one half of the road in question was owned by a Dr. Drackman, Mr. Segall's neighbor, the other half by Mrs. Idella Marks, and that it was therefore neces- sary that the owners each deed their half to the Town before it could be taken over as a Town street or high- way. The discussion concluded with the Board directing Council- man Quadrine and the Town Attorney to look into the matter.

He pointed out that since the police were usually first on the scene of any accident it would seem logical and reasonable that some such service be provided and main= tained by and through that department. Mr. Alan R. Scott, 8 Boulder Road, Town Mr. Scott, upon recognition, addressed the Board to state that he was very much in favor of this type of service being provided locally and related an incident in the case of his wife's illness and the delay of some length of time in obtaining ambulance service.

Miller, Jr. - 191 Larchmont Avenue Mr. Miller also commended Councilman Faiola on his report and requested that copies thereof be forwarded to the Village of Larchmont since the Red Cross Disaster Unit is a joint service and stated that he felt strongly it must be determined how the Town and Village together could develop a Call-out system. He further stated that the whole community needed such a service and that it was his understanding that if the ambulance service for the Unincorporated Area were to be initiated as suggested in Councilman Faiola's report it would be provided from Part Town funds and therefore of neces- sity limited to the Unincorporated Area. The problem was how to tie in the Village of Larchmont with the Town. The Town Attorney The Town Attorney stated that he had no report at this time. OTHER BUSINESS 1.
