APPROVAL OF MINUTES
On motion duly made and seconded, the minutes of the

THE SUPERVISOR
For the convenience of the large group of Baldwin Hills
residents present, the Supervisor, with the consent of
the Board, deferred the regular order of business in
order to consider at this time the petition regarding
Lot No. 10 (Item 2 under Communications on the Agenda).
A petition addressed to the Supervisor and carrying the
signatures of 24 families in Baldwin Hills was then read
into the record as follows:
"The undersigned, residents of the Town of Mamaro-
neck, County of Westchester, State of New York,
hereby request that the following matter be for-
mally placed on the agenda of the Town Board, for
its approval, at its next regularly scheduled
meeting on Wednesday, June 7, 1967:
"That the present owners of a certain Lot 10 on
the field map of the Baldwin Hills Development
Corporation, entitled subdivision map of Baldwin
Hills in the Town of Mamaroneck, Westchester
County, New York, made by Thomas J. McEvoy, Sur-
-1-
veyor, dated March 29, 1965 and filed in West-
chester County, County Clerk's Office, division
of land records on September 20, 1965 as map
number 14615, and which Lot is scheduled to be
deeded to the Town of Mamaroneck, be relieved
from such performance and that the Town of
Mamaroneck accept from said owners, in lieu
thereof, a reasonable sum of money; or in the
alternative, and simultaneously with the deeding
over of said property, that the said present
owners be permitted to repurchase said property
- from the Town of Mamaroneck, for a reasonable
sum of money.
"The undersigned are the owners of real property
in the immediate vicinity of said property and
are of the opinion that the construction of a
limited recreation area thereon will be of no
benefit to the Town, would be a constant source
of irritation and may be detrimental to the wel-
fare of the immediate community".
At the Supervisor's invitation, the following persons
were then heard on the petition:
In favor:
Mr. Wynne B. Stern, Jr. - 15 Jason Lane
Mr. Stern spoke at some length and in detail to the
points set forth in the petition, emphasizing each of
the reasons stated in protest to the proposed use of
Lot No. 10 for recreation.
Mr. Donald Flach - 8 McKenna Place
Mr. Flach stated that he was 100% in agreement with Mr.
Stern whose feelings, he further said, were shared by all
the families named in the petition; all of whom earnest-
ly requested that the developer be permitted to build
on Lot No. 10 rather than have it used for recreation.
Councilman Chalif
Councilman Chalif inquired of the two gentlemen whether
they would object to the Town holding Lot No. 10 as
vacant land if it were not developed for recreation at
the present time.
Both replied that they would inasmuch as the lot would
deteriorate and in all likelihood become a health hazard -
thus they strongly favored that the Town be remunerated
by the developer for the value of the lot and that a
house be built thereon immediately.
Councilman Chalif
Councilman Chalif then asked whether there was sufficient
place for the children to play if this lot were released
-2-
for building purposes to which the answer was in the affir-
mative.
Councilman Chalif then spoke of the present development of
many small neighborhood areas in New York City in order to
provide safe play places for children and have them remov-
ed from the City streets.
Messrs. Stern and Flach stated that they were cognizant of
the situation in the City, but felt that the needs of the
city were not to be compared with those of this community.
Mr. Joseph Derrico - 6 McKenna Place
Mr. Derrico, also in reply to Mr. Chalif's observation
about the city play areas, described the circular area
(or cul de sac) in the Baldwin Hills development - in addi-
tion to which he stated that the plots were of sufficient
size to permit small children playing in their own yards
since each property owner had plenty of room for swings,
jungle gyms, etc.
In reply to Councilman Chalif's question, Mr. Derrico
stated that he was definitely in favor of a home being built
immediately on Lot No. 10 - rather than either present
recreation use or its being held as empty land since
vacant land tended to become a dumping area.
Councilman Quadrine
Councilman Quadrine stated that if Lot #10 were deeded to
the Town and accepted, the Town would certainly prohibit
dumping and keep it clean.
Mr. Joseph Derrico
Mr. Derrico then stated that he wished to bring out another
reason not yet mentioned for requesting that Lot #10 not
be used for recreational purposes, which was that since
this parcel was landlocked, the children of residents on
Baldwin Place would walk through the neighboring Baldwin
Hills properties to the recreation area since its only
entrance was from the development side.
Councilman Quadrine
Councilman Quadrine pointed out that when children played
in streets it took only one serious accident - - which it
was to be hoped would not happen anywhere in the Town, and
that for this reason, he stated that he still felt serious
consideration should be given to the retention of Lot #10
for recreational purposes.
Mr. Jerome Kretchmar
Mr. Kretchmar, the developer, pointed out that as far as
the developers were concerned they had no problem since
they had deeded Lot No. 10 to the Town as requested.
-3-
f~
. a
In Opposition
Mr. Robert J. Lawrence -
Mr. Lawrence stated that he was in favor of retention of
Lot #10 for recreation since at the present time there
was still some vacant land in Baldwin Hills on which the
children played. This would soon be gone and he queried
where the children would then play.
He further stated that it had been proposed that a meeting
be held and a Baldwin Hills Association formed so that the
views of all of the residents of Baldwin Hills could be
presented rather than just of those who were opposed to
the retention of Lot #10.
The Supervisor
The Supervisor thanked Mr. Lawrence and stated that he
felt the Board was cognizant of the fact that there were
two sides to the question and that both had been well put
and would be given every consideration.
Councilman Chalif
Councilman Chalif said that for his single self after
thinking about this problem and having lived in the com-
munity for the past 34 years, it was his feeling that the
greatest contribution this Board or any Board could make
to the community was to preserve any and all empty or
vacant land available. He further stated that he particu-
larly felt so in view of the recent population explosion
and he therefore urged that all empty land be preserved.
Councilman Faiola
Councilman Faiola stated that while he agreed in principle
with the observations made by Councilmen Chalif and Quadrine
endorsing the retention of vacant land, he felt, however,
that the wishes of the 24 families residing in the area
could not be ignored since all seemed to feel strongly that
recreational use of Lot #10 would create a nuisance of some
seriousness to the entire area.
Mr. Philip Wexler
Mr. Wexler stated that he felt the proposed recreational
use of Lot #10 was well meant. However, he pointed out
that the area was too small in that if older children were
playing ball, younger children would be endangered with
any sandboxes, jungle gyms, etc. knocked over and probably
moved out of the way. He felt that adequate play areas
certainly required far more space than was available in
the subject plot.
Councilwoman Helwig
Councilwoman Helwig, speaking as Liaison to the Recreation
Commission, stated that she felt all of the views expressed
this evening should be presented to both the Planning Board
-4-
and the Recreation commission, and extended an invitation
to those present this evening to attend the meetings of
both these Boards since they were open to the public.
Councilman Chalif
Councilman Chalif, speaking as Liaison to the Planning
Board, echoed Mrs. Helwig's invitation, adding that since
both meetings were on June 14th, he would see that a meet-
ing was held by the Planning Board at a subsequent date
if desired so that everyone would have an opportunity to
be heard by both of these Boards.
And thereupon since no one else wished to be heard, on
motion by Councilman Faiola, seconded by Councilwoman
Helwig, it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that the petition herein presented
be referred to the Planning Board and the
Recreation Commission and that all interested
persons be invited to attend the meetings of
the said Boards so that they might be heard
on the aforesaid petition.
Mr. Kretchmar
At this time Mr. Kretchmar, observing that the request for
reduction of the bond for Baldwin Hills presented at the
last meeting was not on the agenda, inquired the Board's
pleasure in this matter.
The Town Attorney, at the Supervisor°s request, explained
that the deed to Lot #10, one of the conditions imposed
for consideration of the reduction, had been presented to
him by Mr. Kretchmar at the opening of this meeting and
that he would certainly like to have the opportunity to
examine it before recommending reduction to the Board.
Mr. Kretchmar, explaining the urgency of the need for this
reduction in order to obviate a high premium payment due
by the middle of June, asked whether he could have the
understanding that the reduction would be granted if the
deed were found to be in order.
Councilman Quadrine
Councilman Quadrine then raised the question of whether
the sewer-manhole situation complained of by the Village
of Mamaroneck, another condition for reduction, had been
corrected as requested at the last meeting.
Mr. Kretchmar replied that a meeting had been held with
the Town Engineer and the Village Engineer and that both
were satisfied that the condition had been corrected satis-
factorily.
Councilman Quadrine then stated that he had not been so
advised, and therefor asked Mr. Widulski whether the fore-
going statement was correct.
-5-
197
Mr. Widulski replied that the objections raised by the Village
of Mamaroneck had been about 90 to 95% rescinded with only
the obtaining of an air-tight cover for the sewer manhole and
the construction of the head wall remaining to be completed.
He further explained that the cover had been ordered and that
the wall would be constructed immediately upon receipt of the
necessary permit from the Thruway for which Mr. Kretchmer
had applied.
Whereupon in compliance with the developer's request and
the Attorney's recommendation, on motion by Councilman
Chalif, seconded by Councilwoman Helwig, it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that this Board hereby authorizes the
reduction of the Performance Bond of the subdivi-
sion known as "Baldwin Hills" from $180, 000. 00
to $15, 000. 00, subject to the Attorney's approval
of the deed conveying Lot #10 to the Town and the
installation of an air-tight sewer manhole cover
and the construction rock head wall to the satis-
faction of the Town Engineer.
OPENING OF BIDS
1. Hommocks Storm Drain & Manhole
The Clerk presented the affidavit of publication of the Notice
for bids for the record, and opened and read aloud the follow-
ing bids:
Bidder Bid
Bilotta Construction Corp. $ 26, 590.00
Salvatore Micelli 18,815.00
Girondo Contracting Corp. 41,100.00
Felix Contracting Corp. 21, 000. 00
Polera Building Corp. 20, 960. 00
In the interest of time and in accord with the Engineer's rec-
ommendation, it was then on a motion by Councilwoman Hel-
wig and seconded by Councilman Chalif, unanimously
RESOLVED, that this Board hereby accepts the
bid of the low bidder, Salvatore Micelli, in the
sum of $18, 815. 00, subject to approval by
Councilman Quadrine, the Town Engineer, the
Town Attorney and Comptroller;
and be it further
RESOLVED, that the Town Clerk is hereby au-
thorized to return all bid checks except that of
the successful bidder.
2.- Sidewalk Reconstruction
(Myrtle and Madison)
The Clerk presented the affidavit of publication of the Notice
for bids for the record, and opened and read aloud the only
bid received as follows: that of Louis Petrillo, Inc. in the
sum of $4, 647. 80.
-6-
Councilman Chalif inquired of Councilman Quadrine, Liaison
to the Public Works Department, whether it would be out of
order to ask whether the Town forces could perform this
work.
In reply, he was advised that the question was certainly in
order but that it could not be performed by the Highway
staff due to the size of the construction, the extremely
heavy Highway agenda, and the short-handed staff of that
department.
The Engineer then pointed out that the only bid received was
far in excess of the budgetary appropriation for this project,
whereupon, by common consent of the Board, the bid was
rejected and the Engineer authorized to readvertise.
OLD BUSINESS
1. Proposed Sub-division Laurel Avenue
The Supervisor recognized former Senator Meighan who in-
quired whether a determination had been reached on his
client's request, previously presented to this Board, for
permission to continue Laurel Avenue southerly through
property known as Block 124, Parcel 234 on the Tax Assess-
ment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck in order to provide
service for a proposed subdivision containing five addi-
tional homes.
Whereupon following some discussion, upon the Attorney's
advice that there was no legal hindrance to the Town
Board's accepting road improvements on a right-of-way
paved to the extent of 25 feet in width rather than the statu-
tory required 50 feet, it was, on motion by Councilman
Quadrine, seconded by Councilman Faiola, unanimously
RESOLVED, that this Board hereby approves
the construction of street improvements on a
right-of-way paved to a width of 25 feet be-
tween the present dead-end portion of Laurel
Avenue bordering Block 124, Parcel 234 on
the Tax Assessment Map of the Town of Ma-
maroneck, said improvements to be con-
structed in compliance with the requirements
of the Town of Mamaroneck Planning Board,
the Town Engineer and all applicable Town
ordinances.
2. Landscape Gardeners - Rubbish
Disposal
A request presented sometime ago by Landscape Contractors
in the Town of Mamaroneck was brought to the Board's at-
tention by the Supervisor and referred to Councilman Quad-
rine, Liaison to the Public Works Department.
-7-
199
.Councilman Quadrine explained that the request had been
presented first at the time of the Supervisor's and
Councilman Chalif's absence and because of its serious-
ness, the request had been deferred until their return
so that it could be discussed and studied by the full
Board.
Councilman Quadrine stated that a meeting was held with
the Town Engineer and Superintendent of Highways in
endeavoring to work out a solution but that due to the
lack of landfill area, Councilman Quadrine suggested that
the necessary equipment be rented so that large holes
could be dug in the Hommocks Area so that the landscape
gardeners could dispose of their rubbish waste. These
large holes could then be backfilled.
Councilman Quadrine felt that there was much area left
to be filled with rubbish and that the available space
would not be filled within one month's time as had been
pointed out by Councilwoman Helwig and the Town Engineer.
Councilman Quadrine further stated that if we did not
allow the landscape gardeners to dispose of their rubbish
at the Hommocks Land Fill Area, they would place their
rubbish in containers at the street curb. This would
mean that the Town Board would have to accept the gar-
deners' rubbish in any event. This also would mean more
work, more man-hours expended, and more cost to the Town
because this work would have to be accomplished by the
Town garbage collectors.
During the discussion, the Supervisor stated that the
County which was presently deeply involved in the matter
of rubbish disposal on a County-wide level was gravely
considering a completely new procedure which could
possibly eliminate the need for any addition to the local
plant or the Hommocks area. These plans, he stated, could
not be revealed now but well might be available to the
press and public within the next six months.
In the course of further discussion, Councilwoman Helwig
in answering queries of the gardeners, stated that the Town
Board had never considered reopening the Hommocks Area
for general rubbish but only for grass clippings and garden
refuse from residents gardens as an accommodation to lo-
cal gardeners. The available area will be completely filled
in a very short time and must be used just by the Town for
its own collections, she felt.
At this time both Mr. Clapps and Mr. Fatone speaking as
resident taxpayers of the Town as well as on behalf of
the Landscape Contractors Association, again vehemently
protested the ban, describing it as discriminatory against
them and detailing the hardship it imposed on them. They
further stated that they had been promised a definite
_g_
200
answer this evening and thereupon Councilwoman Helwig
stated that they should have their answer and offered
the following resolution which was seconded by Council-
man Chalif:
RESOLVED, that this Board hereby prohibits
any and all rubbish disposal in the area
known as the Hommocks other than that
collected in the Town of Mamaroneck.
The vote on the foregoing resolution, upon roll call,
was as follows:
Councilman Chalif - Aye
Councilwoman Helwig - Aye
Supervisor Kane - Aye
Councilman Quadrine stated that before he voted, he
would like to say that he did not feel that the Board
was sufficiently informed of the entire situation or
condition in the area - nor that it had been discussed
sufficiently in executive session - and thereupon he
voted as follows:
Councilman Quadrine - No
Councilman Faiola - No
The resolution was therefore adopted by a majority vote
of three (3) Ayes and two (2) Noes.
Councilwoman Helwig, in replying to Councilman Quadrine,
observed that the Board would have had more time if he
had not been delayed at a meeting when this subject was
under discussion.
Upon recognition, Mrs. John Marek of Hommocks Road com-
plained that resumption of rubbish disposal at the
Hommocks had caused offensive odors which once again
caused a problem.
Councilwoman Helwig queried the Engineer as to what
material presently being disposed of in the Landfill
Area could cause an odor to which Mr. Widulski replied
that some incinerated materials did have a faint odor
but certainly that it was not a "foul" odor as describ-
ed by Mrs. Marek.

hazard due to the developer's failure to provide for
adequate drainage of the area and his failure to dispose
properly of the debris attendant upon his activities,
resulting in a swamp land developing in the area address-
ed to the Department of Health, Town of Mamaroneck, under
date of May 29, 1967 by Dr. Richard A. Herrmann, which
was herewith ordered received and filed for the record.

Chief for study and report to this Board with direc-
tion that Mr. Mounty be so advised.
6. Request to Plant Trees on Easement
The Clerk presented a letter addressed to the Town
Board by Mr. Don Zacharia under date of May 18th
requesting permission to plant six flowering trees
approximately 8' in height; four Hemlocks, approximate-
ly 6' high on an Easement at 19 Kolbert Drive.
Councilman Quadrine stated that he understood these
trees had already been planted and that while they
were very beautiful, he was fearful of anything on
any Easement since these were for the purpose of hav-
ing public utilities readily accessible to the Town
forces at any time repairs were needed.
The Attorney advised that these plantings were in vio-
lation of the Easement Agreements held by the Town of
Mamaroneck and that Mr. Zacharia should be advised
that the Town is not in any way liable for the plant-
ings nor replacement thereof, in the event they had
to be removed to perform necessary repairs, which the
Board so directed.

The Supervisor - -
1. Removal of Special Patrol - Hommocks Area
For the Board's information the Supervisor reported that
after discussion it was the Board's decision that the
Special Patrol at the Hommocks land-fill area could be
terminated as of June 8th.
He brought out that this Patrol had been effective in
the elimination of "gypsy" dumping and that with the
engagement of a Labor-Watchman the situation would be
adequately controlled.
The Board therefore directed the Comptroller to so advise
the Special Patrol terminating the salaries as of June 8,
1967.
2. Flag Day - June 14, 1967
The Supervisor presented a copy of a Proclamation issued
by Hon. Edwin G. Michaelian, County Executive, for the
observance of American Flag Week in Westchester County
from July 2 through July 8, 1967, and on his suggestion
unanimously approved by the Board, it was
RESOLVED, that the Supervisor be and he here-
by is authorized to issue a Proclamation pro-
claiming the week of July 2 through July 8,
1967 as American Flag Week.
At this time the Supervisor called on Councilman Quadrine
who suggested in addition to the issuance of the foree
going Proclamation that Flag Day, June 14, 1967, at this
particular time be observed in the Town of Mamaroneck
by a flag-raising ceremony at 7:30 a. m. in Memorial Park
in honor of our flag with, of course, an invitation to
all Patriotic Orders and organizations invited to join
the Town officials on this occasion.
3. Petition for Play Area - Murdock Woods
i
A petition addressed to the Supervisor by residents of
Murdock Woods requesting that certain land known as
Parcel A, which had been deeded to the Town by the
developer, be used for a play area was presented and
ordered received and filed for the record.
During discussion, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Miller of 28 Kol-
bert Drive and Mrs. Morton M. Schloss of 31 Kolbert
Drive addressed the Board in opposition to the petition
explaining that this plot lay between their properties
and was certainly unsuitable for such development.
In addition they stated emphatically that they were
opposed to any play area and that the Murdock Woods
-13-
Association had requested at an earlier date that this
land be held in its natural condition.
At the Supervisor's request the Attorney explained that
the so-called Parcel A had been deeded to the Town for
the purpose of "public streets or avenues which shall
be constructed pursuant to the resolution of the Plan-
ning Board of the Town of Mamaroneck, dated May 6, 1963",
as was expressly stated in the deed which of course would
preclude any other use of this land.
Mrs. Miller requested the names of those who had signed
the petition and the Supervisor directed that a copy be
forwarded to her.
The Supervisor suggested that any members of the Board
who could view this property Saturday morning at the
time of visiting the property in the same area about
which Dr. Herrmann had written.
It was then directed that this petition along with the
views expressed this evening be referred to the Recre-
ation Commission and the Planning Board for their in-
formation and consideration.

Councilman Chalif - -
1. Report - Port Authority Meeting
(Trade Center)
For the Board's information, Councilman Chalif reported
that he had represented the Supervisor at a meeting held
by Congressmen Richard L. Ottinger and James H. Scheuer
on Monday, June 5th, 1967, at the Hotel Belmont Plaza in
New York City to discuss the severe interference with
television reception which the construction of the World
Trade Center would cause in Manhattan, the Bronx, West-
chester and Putnam Counties.
Engineering studies stated that the Center's twin towers
would bounce back TV signals broadcast from the Empire
State Building in an intense and ever-widening beam extend-
ing northward through the areas named above and even into
Connecticut, causing severe distortion and double and
triple images.
He further advised that all permissions for the proposed
construction had been given with the exception of the New
York City Board of Estimate's permit for the streets to
be shut off, on which the hearing would be held before
that body on June 16th.
Since as many as 6 million households in the Metropolitan
Area would suffer major television interference for at
least a two-year period as a result of this construction,
the consensus of the thinking at the meeting on June 5th
was that all public officials throughout the area of
concern be urged to request by resolution of their Boards
that the Board of Estimate defer the granting of the per-
mit for closing the aforementioned streets until after
-16-
hearings were held by the Federal Communications Commis-
sion.
He further requested therefore that this Board if it were
its pleasure, authorize the Supervisor to address communi-
cations to the Honorable John V. Lindsay, Mayor of the City
of New York, the Honorable Frank D. O'Connor, President of
the Council, and the Honorable Mario A. Procaccino, Comp-
troller, requesting that they use their good offices and
exert all honorable means to urge the Board of Estimate to
defer decision at its June 16th Special Hearing on the
World Trade Center until after hearings were held by the
Federal Communications Commission.
Whereupol, on his motion, seconded by Councilwoman Helwig,
it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that the Supervisor be and he here-
by is authorized to address letters to the
Honorable John V. Lindsay, Mayor of the City
of New York; the Honorable Frank D. O'Connor,
President of the Council and the Honorable
Mario A. Procaccino, Comptroller, requesting
that they use their good offices and exert
every effort to have the Board of Estimate of
the City of New York defer taking any action
on the final project approvals at the Special
Hearing on June 16th until after hearings were
held by the Federal communications commission.

The Town Attorney
1. Application of West Fordham for
Two Bus Routes
The Attorney advised the Board of receipt of Notice that West
Fordham Transportation Corp. had presented a petition with
the Public Service Commission of the State of New York on
May 24, 1967, requesting authority to extend its omnibus
lines through the Town of Mamaroneck as set forth in the
said petition.
He further advised that the Town, pursuant to the provisions of
Section 63-E. 3 of the Public Service Law, was authorized to
file a certified statement setting forth the reasons for not grant-
ing the consent applied for by West Fordham.
Following discussion during which the application for the two
additional routes and the Board's subsequent determinations and
reasons therefor were reviewed in some detail, on motion by
Councilman Chalif, seconded by Councilman Faiola, the follow-
ing resolution was offered and adopted by unanimous vote of the
Board, all members being present and voting:
RESOLVED, that the Town Attorney be and he hereby
is authorized and directed to prepare and file within
30 days of the May 24 date of the West Fordham No-
tice with the Public Service Commission of the
State of New York, a certified statement of the
Town's request for the denial of the West Fordham
petition for consent to operate two additional bus
routes through the Town of Mamaroneck for the rea-
sons set forth herebelow:
That no one appeared on behalf of the applicant or
in support of the application at the public hearing
before this Board on March 15th, 1967.
That a report of the Larchmont Chamber of Com-
merce opposing the granting of the application
for the reasons contained therein was read into
the record of the said hearing.
That the proposed new Palmer Avenue route
would be in a highly congested area along a
heavily traveled artery connecting Mamaroneck
and New Rochelle - with any additional buses
adding to the congestion and further clogging the
said artery.
That certain information requested of West
Fordham by Councilman Chalif had never been
furnished to the Board.
That decision on the West Fordham applica-
tion had been tabled in view of a request by
Westchester Street Transportation Company
a prior applicant for a route similar to the
Palmer Avenue route for time to study the
West Fordham application and to obtain the
-26-
218
survey promised by that Company to the Town
Board at its December 7th, 1966 meeting.
That to date West Fordham had not supplied map
of the routes requested as purported in its ap-
plication for consent.
That the Town could see no necessity for the pro-
posed express routes along the New England
Thruway and opposed same in the belief that such
would be in direct competition with the New Haven
services, which the Town, being a commuter com-
munity, felt it must have at all costs, and further
in the belief that any diminution of services by the
New Haven itself would work most adversely
against the interests of the Town of Mamaroneck.
Mr. Stuart B. Miller, Jr. , upon recognition by the Chair, then
addressed the Board to commend it strongly upon its position in
this matter and to urge that all possible opposition to these two
additional bus routes be voiced.
OTHER BUSINESS

(Between Town Square and Weaver Street)

traffic on Myrtle Boulevard between the Tongan Square and Wea-
ver Street.

quested be given earnest consideration.

man Faiola by unanimous consent of the Board, to be taken up
and followed through with the Traffic Commission with a re-
port to this Board.
2. Hommocks Area
Mr. John Marek addressed the Board with regard to the removal
of the Special Patrol - stating that he would be in favor of this in
the interest of economy except that with any dumping being re-
sumed, he was fearful that the "gypsy" dumping of undesirable
materials would again occur.
The Supervisor advised that a watchman would be present as had
been stated previously and that this was sufficient protection he
believed - at least, this would be tried in the interest of
economy for the present.
