Socony Mobil Oil Company, Inc. - $. 1588 per gallon (delivered) Whereupon, on motion by Councilman Brush, seconded by Councilman Waterman, it was unanimously RESOLVED that this Board hereby accepts the bid of Socony Mobil Oil Company to supply gas- oline as required by the Town of Mamaroneck for the year 1958. at the price of $. 1588 per gal- lon delivered, OLD BUSINESS The Supervisor advised that although no items appeared on the agenda under Old Business, there were two matters which he would like to call to the Board's attention at this time as follows. (1) Amendment of resolution--Minutes of September 18, 1957 The Supervisor advised that as had been requested in con- nection with the new water supply line, the Board had adopted a resolution on September 18, 1957 authorizing the installa- tion of a 12" main through the property of Briar Del Homes, Inc. with part of the cost to be paid by the Town rather than the 6" main applied for by the developer. He stated that it was presently his understanding that such installation was not needed as the engineers to the Water Board, Hazen and Sawyer, now recommended a connection with the new supply line which would provide the necessary facilities and be of no additional cost to the Town and therefore, he recommen- ded that this resolution be amended so as to eliminate the authorization of such a 12" main. Mr. George Straub, Superintendent of the Westchester Joint Water Works, agreed that this was the case and that since the 1211 main was not needed, it would be in order for the Board to rescind or amend its prior resolution. He fur- ther advised, however, that a continuance of the 6" line to be installed by Briar Del Homes, Inc. would be necessary for the connection with the new supply line with a cost to the Town of approximately $500. 00 and that a request for authorization of such installation would be submitted to the Board at the time it was needed. Whereupon, following some further discussion, upon motion by Councilman Brush, seconded by Councilman Kane, the Board unanimously RESOLVED that the first unnumbered paragraph of the resolution adopted by this Board on Sep- tember 18, 1957, be amended so as to read as follows provided that in all other respects the resolution as then adopted be confirmed. "RESOLVED that the Town Board of the Town of Mamaroneck hereby approves the application of Briar Del Homes, Inc, for the installation of a 6" water main in the property of Briar Del Homes, Inc. , known as Block 225 - Parcel 450 on the Tax Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck, said main to be laid in the road bed of the proposed street known as Briar Del Circle and running from Winged Foot Drive for a distance of approximately 460 feet at a cost of $2, 710, 29 not including exca- vation, backfill, and pavement restoration, which cost is to he paid by the applicant, Briar Del Homes, Inc. " (2) Amendment of resolution--Minutes of December 18, 1957 The Supervisor requested that the resolution authorizing the adoption of a new schedule of water rates for the water district, adopted by this Board on December 18, 1957, be amended so as to include the effective date of such new rate schedule. Whereupon, after some discussion and in accordance with the recommendation of the Westchester Joint Water Works No, 1, upon motion by Councilman Santoro, seconded by Councilman Brush, it was unanimously RESOLVED that the resolution adopted by this Board on December 18, 1957 authorizing adoption of a new schedule of water rates for the water dis- trict be amended so as to read as follows: "RESOLVED that this Board hereby adopts the following water rates as recommended by the Westchester Joint Water Works No, 1: RATE SCHEDULE--METERED SERVICE For all quantities used in each quarter, the following rates shall apply: - First 400 cubic feet - Minimum charge Next 5, 000 " - 36� per hundred Next 15, 000 " - 33� " Next 30, 000 " - 28� " All over 50, 400 " - 23¢ " Minimum charge per quarter (including 400 cubic feet al- lowance).

(b) When the premises are supplied through more than one service at the request of the consumer, then each meter shall be treated separately, the registration shall not be combined and the proper minimum charge applied to each meter, FURTHER RESOLVED that the rate schedule has herein- above set forth shall become effective with the first quar- terly billings of 1958, FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution supercedes the resolution adopted by this Board on December 18, 1957 re- garding the new rate schedule for the water district, " NEW BUSINESS ao Designation of Town officials authorized to attend Association of Towns Convention--New York City, February 10, 11, and 12.

The report wad received and placed on file, The Supervisor then brought up the matter of the appointment of a committee of qualified citizens from both of the Villages and the Un- incorporated Area to make a study of this entire subject and the r �y"x3 Board directed him to consult with the Mayors of the two Vil- lages regarding recommendations of persons to serve from these areas. In connection with this matter, the Supervisor presented a communication under date of January 17, 1958, addressed to him by the Executive Committee of the Larchmont Democratic Club approving the Town Council's proposal to develop recrea- tional facilities in the Hommocks area, which was received and filed with the Clerk directed to refer said communication to the citizen committee upon its appointment, The Supervisor also informed the Board that he had been invited to speak at a meeting sponsored by the Orienta Point As- sociation to be held on January 28th at the Central School on the "Hommocks Area" and suggested that Councilman Santoro, who had sponsored this motion by the Board, be delegated to accom- pany him and the Board so directed.

He advised that this matter had been referred to Trustee Mc- Cann and Mr, J. J. McCaffrey of 39 Dillon Road, New Rochelle, coordinator of the petition, by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Larchmont at their last Board meeting and suggested that he-consult with Trustee McCann and Mr. McCaffrey with regard to this matter. The Board so directed the Supervisor. (2) Thruway--Communication from Consulting Engineer The Supervisor presented a letter from Herman I. Dorfman, Consulting Engineer for the Thruway, dated January 6, 1958, requesting permission to lower the water line of the Larchmont Gardens Lake in order to proceed with Thruway construction in this area. The Supervisor advised the Board that this request had been made at an earlier date and referred to the Recreation Commis- sion for consideration, The Commission, feeling that there was only one season when ice skating might be possible, had requested the Board to defer the granting of this request to as late a date as possible. Following a lengthy discussion, the Board feeling that the greatest public interest was best served through expediting the completion of the Thruway by all possible means, agreed to grant the requested permission provided Mr. Dorfman would comply to the following conditions as defined during the discussion: 1st -- That the work in this area be continuous when once begun. 2nd -- That the work be completed in this area within a period of approximately three weeks from the date of beginning, Febru- ary 3rd, 1958.

The members of the Board were most interested and expressed their highest compliments and commendation to Mr. Holding for his fine and generous community service, which the Supervisor was requested to convey to Mr. Holding, and also expressed their grati- tude and thanks to Commissioner Duffy for bringing this to the Board's attention.

Bakker while at- tending FBI School at Camp Smith on October 14 through 18, 1957, as authorized by the Board of Police Commissioners at that time. After explanation that the delay in presenting these claims had occurred with the incidence of the Chief's trip to Hawaii, upon motion by Councilman Waterman, seconded by Councilman Kane, it was unanimously RESOLVED that this Board hereby authorizes the Comptroller to audit the claims of Police Patrolmen John M.

Keeler, agent for the Town's insurance. He advised that Mr. Keeler's recommendations had been reviewed and considered carefully and that the coverage had been extended where deemed necessary with additional pre- miums amounting to about $400. 00 per year with the funds for such expenditure provided for in the 1958 budget. Councilman Kane commended Councilman Brush and all of those concerned with the job on their fine work. Councilman Kane -- (1) Steel Landing Mats for Parking Area Use Councilman Kane advised that he was still working on securing surplus landing mats for possible use on the parking areas this spring. He stated that he had been unsuccessful in locating any available at the Air Bases contacted but had been advised that it might be possible to borrow a section of such for try-out pur- poses from a surplus dealer in Philadelphia and advised that he would report further at the next meeting of the Board. (2) Planning Board Councilman Kane reported that the Planning Board was work- ing most diligently on the proposed revisions to the Zoning Or- dinance and had received much help and many fine suggestions from individual citizens at the meetings held with the various civic and homeowners' associations. Councilman Santoro -- (1) Joint Incinerator Commission Meeting Councilman Santoro reported that in an effort to prevent fur- ther vandalism of the Incinerator property, the Commission at its meeting on January 20th had authorized the erection of a fence around certain sections of the property, (2) Destruction of Street Lights Councilman Santoro reported receipt of a note from Con Edi- son stating that 30 street lights had been shot out. He advised that the Police Department had been notified but stated that he also wished to enlist the cooperation of the local press in urging that this destruction cease, pointing out that such high incidence of vandalism, if continued, could in due time affect taxes, (3) Lighting on Parking Areas Councilman Santoro reported that the Whiffen Electric Com- pany had started its preliminary work with Con Edison and that the lights would be on 20 days from receipt of clearance with Con Edison, (4) Drainage of Hommocks Area Councilman Santoro recommended that the Board now proceed with the proposed drainage of the Hommocks Area and offered the following motion which was seconded by Councilman Brush and adopted unanimously; RESOLVED that the Town Engineer be and he hereby is authorized to prepare plans for the drainage of the Hommocks Area, specifying the amount and type of pipe needed so that bids may be secured for same, (5) Drainage Pipe under Thruway Councilman Santoro stated that the Engineer had expressed some concern regarding the drainage situation just east of Cabot Road at the location of the Thruway and requested the Engineer to brief the Board on this matter, Mr. Friedlander reported that the Thruway specifications called for .the installation of a 42" pipe under the roadbed to take care of this drainage and stated that it was his feeling that this 42" pipe might prove to be of insufficient capacity to handle fu- ture drainage. He advised that he had discussed the matter with the Thruway contractor and had recommended that the Thruway install two 42" pipes or one 60" pipe, However, he continued, in the event that the Thruway refused to make such an installa- tion, he felt it would be wise for the Board to give this matter very serious consideration at this time, as such an installation, were it necessary at a future date, would be of prohibitive cost once the Thruway roadbed is completed. With this in mind, he had obtained an approximate cost estimate for such work from the Thruway contractor in the amount of some $7, 700, 00, A Yom; Y � r Councilman Santoro stated that he was in complete accord with Mr. Friedlander and suggested that he consult further with the contractor as to price, reporting at the next Board meeting, (6) Auxiliary Sewer--Valley Stream Road Councilman Santoro reported that the Engineer had been notified that the County would start installation of the auxiliary relief sewer along Valley Stream Road to Falls Road within two weeks with a goal of a 90-day completion date, weather per- mitting, REPORT OF THE TOWN ATTORNEY (1) Agreement re Easement--Bill Property, 1929. The Town Attorney presented a memorandum in connection with the agreement entered into between the Westchester Joint Water Works No, 1 and Caroline L. Bill on November 29, 1929, which granted an easement to the Westchester Joint Water Works No, 1 as consideration for the installation of 1, 800 feet of 6" pipe in any streets or roads of said property as specified by the owner, The Attorney's memorandum indicated that while no resolu- tion of the Town Board could be found authorizing the signature of this agreement on behalf of the Town, for which reason its validity might be questioned, it nevertheless was true that Sound- view Woods, Inc„ as the present owners of this property and suc- cessors in interest of Caroline L. Bill, would probably succeed in a law suit in obtaining the cash equivalent of 1, 800 feet of 6" pipe since that was the consideration for Bill's granting an ease- ment through this property in 1929, The Attorney also pointed out that the installation of this main was intimately connected with obtaining an easement through this same property for the new water supply line from the Delaware Acqueduct since Soundview Woods, Inc., in negotiating a settle- ment for the new easement, insisted on an agreement for the in- stallation of the 1, 800 feet of water distribution mains in its sub- division. He pointed out that this 1, 800 feet of water line would become part of the water distribution system of the Town and that the benefit would to to the Town which would receive credit for the revenues collected from the consumers who use this line. The estimate submitted for the installation of this 1, 800 feet of 6" pipe, he advised, was $16., 680.0.0, but he further stated that Soundview Woods, Inc. , present owners of the said Caroline L. Bill property, were agreeable to accepting this installation in two installments, i.e. some $7, 700.00 worth of pipe to be installed in 1958 with the balance to be installed in 1959. After a lengthy discussion by the members of the Board, upon motion by Councilman Santoro, who stated in offering his motion that he was in accord with the Attorney's very comprehensive mem- orandum, and upon seconding by Councilman Brush, who stated he was seconding based upon the AttorneyYs memorandum, upon roll call, it was unanimously RESOLVED that this Board approves in principle the settlement recommended by the Town Attorney in his memorandum to the Supervisor and members of the Town Board submitted under date of January 20, 1958, FURTHER RESOLVED that the Town Attorney is in- structed to prepare an agreement in substance carry- ing out the terms of such a settlement and to present such an agreement to this Board for its approval, FURTHER RESOLVED that the approval of the settle- ment is conditioned upon and subject to approval by the Westchester Joint Water Works No, 1 of the pay- ment by said Westchester Joint Water Works No. 1 of $1, 000, 00 for an easement through the property of Soundview Woods, Inc, for the new water transmission p sins from Delaware Acqueduct shaft # 22. Roll Call: Councilman Brush - Aye Supervisor Burchell - Aye CouncilmanKane - Aye Councilman Santoro - Aye (Note: Councilman Waterman was not present and voting as he had been excused immediately after presenting his report to entrain for California. ) (2) Communication from McGovern, Vincent & Connelly--Request for Transfer of Bus Franchise The Attorney recommended approval of the request of Mc- Govern, Vincent & Connelly as stated in their communication of December 18, 1957, for transfer of the existing franchise from Liberty Coaches, Inc, to their client, The Yonkers Railroad Co. , purchasers of the Yonkers-Playland route, which was referred to him by this Board for report. Whereupon, on motion by Councilman Kane, seconded by Councilman Brush, it was unanimously RESOLVED that the Town Board hereby approves the transfer of the consent or franchise of Ber- nacchia Bros., Inc. , as contained in the resolu- tion of the Town Board adopted on October 14, 1936, and thereafter transferred to Liberty Coaches, Inc, by resolution of the Town Board adopted on March 3, 1954, to The Yonkers Rail- - road Co. , as requested in the communication of McGovern, Vincent & Connelly, dated December 18, 1957, and filed herewith. (3) Complaint of Howell Park Association--Tennyson Nursery C a Regarding the matter of the use and expansion of business at the Tennyson Nursery at 144 Weaver Street, Larchmont, which had been called to the Board's attention by Mr. Frank O'Donnell of the Howell Park Association at the meeting on December 10, 1957, and referred to the Attorney and Building Inspector for study and report, the Attorney stated that upon investigation, the Building Inspector and he were unable to find any proof of this property's use as a nursery prior to the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance in 1922 and therefore, subject to the owner providing such proof, it was their opinion that this use was in violation of the Zoning Ordinance. (4) Requestfor Public Hearing The Attorney stated that Mr, George Forbes, attorney for Josephine Masticciolo d/b/a Leon's Taxi Service, had re- quested the Town's consent for his client to operate a bus over certain streets in the Town and advising that it was necessary to hold a public hearing on this matter, recommended that the Clerk be authorized to publish the necessary notice calling the hearing for the next meeting of the Board. Whereupon, on motion by Czo*ncilman Kane, seconded by Councilman Brush, it was unanimously RESOLVED that the Town Clerk be and he hereby is authorized to publish not later than ten (10) days prior to the date of the hearing the following notice in the official newspaper of the Town of Mamaro- neck, The Daily Times; NOTICE TAKE NOTICE that a public hearing will be held by the Town Board of Mamaroneck on the 5th day of February, 1958, at 8;15 p.m, in the Council Room of the Weaver Street Firehouse, Wea- ver Street, Town of Mamaroneck, for the purpose of considering the application of Josephine Mastocciolo, doing business as Leon's Taxi Service, for the consent of the Town of Mamaroneck, under the provisions of Sections 66 and 67 of the Transportation Corporations Law of the State of New York, for the operation of motor buses or omnibuses for transportation of passengers and property carried by said passengers for hire, in, upon, along and across certain streets, avenues and highways in the Town of Mamaroneck, along the following routes; 1.
