Request for Bus Shelter Councilman Santoro reported that after study and considera- tion, the Board felt that in view of the relatively few persons who would use such a shelter, the cost of erection being about $50:0.00, and the opposition expressed by some of the nearby residents, it could not authorize the construction at this time of the shelter at the corner of Stonewall Lane and Old White Plains Road as requested by some four students living in that area.

The Supervisor pointed out that passage of this bill would as- sist the Town in completing its water distribution system in the northern area of the Town bordering Scarsdale and so put the Town in a position to supply water to that part of the Town thus eliminating the necessity of purchasing water from the Village of Scarsdale at a loss to the Westchester Joint Water Works due to a 2216 increase in the Scarsdale water rates.

The Town Attorney advised the Board that the Engineer had re- ported that although, as Mr. Vitro claimed, the improvements had been completed in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Board, he could not recommend acceptance of this street until a Consolidated Edison pole leaning over and pro- jecting over the roadway had been straightened and a street light installation had been completed. Further, the Attorney called attention to the fact that while he had been furnished with a deed or release for this portion of Split Tree Road and another conveyance of certain easements for a certain drain or water pipe, he could not determine whether Gabriel Vitro, the grantor of said title and conveyance, was still the owner and he therefore requested that Mr. Blass furnish him with a title search ascertaining the present owner, which Mr. Blass agreed to do. The Board, under these circumstances, took no action on the matter at this time. 3. Application for Building Permit--Dominic Librandi Mr. Librandi appeared before the Board in connection with his application for a building permit to construct a house on Laurel Avenue which had been denied by the Building Inspector on the ground that there was not proper access to the property.

Upon being advised that this Board could grant such permit at its discretion if a bond were posted in an amount necessary to cover the cost of the construction of a proper access road to the property, Mr. Librandi stated that he would be willing to do this and the Board then directed the Town Engineer to work up the costs of paving and installation of the necessary utilities in such road and to report thereon at the next meeting of the Board.
