flooding of Bonnie Way.
Mr. Martin, after speaking at some length on various aspects of
this condition and particularly calling attention to the clogged con-
dition of the drain through the area, the stagnant water standing
on the adjacent Consolidated Edison property, and the condition
which resulted whenever the Larchmont Reservoir water level
was lowered, introduced Dr. James Q. Haralambie, also a resi-
dent of the area, who addressed the Board on the subject of the

ing persons were heard:
Harold Blass, Attorney for applicant
Mr. Blass, attorney representing the applicant, Briar Del
Homes, Inc. , appeared before the Board and after briefly
-- reviewing this request, urged that it be given favorable
consideration at this time.
The Supervisor explained that the request had been under
study for some time, and that several conferences had
been held with the interested parties following preparation
by the Town Engineer of preliminary plans and cost es-
timate for such construction. He further stated that
whether or not the Town was legally obligated to provide
the requested extension in a public street situated in an
existing sewer district was a question on which the at-
torney for the applicant felt that the Town was so obli-
gated while the Town Attorney felt that there was no con-
tractural obligation on the part of the Town - but rather
that this was a question of whether or not the Town should
construct such an extension taking into consideration the
public interest involved.
At this time, Mr. Blass informed the Board that his
clients had received two letters written by Daniel M.
Daley, Jr, of 1 Briar Del Circle, and Francis K. Gerosa
of 3 Briar Del Circle, to urge that this request be granted,
which he presented for the record and which were ordered
received and filed.

timate for the proposed sewer construction as well as for
the installation of a water main in Winged Foot Drive from
the property of the Westchester County Park Commission
to Briar Del Circle, and stated that in his opinion, the
Town could save money by combining these two pro-
jects. Further, he advised the Board that Briar Del
Homes, Inc. had agreed to share the cost of both the
sewer and water installation to the extent of 5556 of the
total cost and that a letter to this effect had been re-
ceived by the Town Board and filed with the Clerk,

respect to like requests, to which the Supervisor replied
that the Board had to consider each case individually on
its merits,

be heard on this matter, and since there was no one, on mo-
tion by Councilman Kane, seconded by Councilman Brush, it
