c. Report--Request of Lester Place Civic Association

Place and Hoyt Avenue be changed to LESTER PLACE, which was
presented at the last meeting of the Board and referred to him for
study and report at this meeting,
"Attached herewith find map showing location of William Place,
Lester Place, and Hoyt Avenue.
With reference to the request of the Lester Place Civic Asso-
ciation to change the name of William Place and Hoyt Avenue to Les-
ter Place, please be advised that it is not good policy to give the same
name to two streets intersecting at right angles unless they both start
at the point of intersection.
However, since there are no houses facing William Place, thereis
no objection to changing the name of William Place to Lester.Place --
and since Hoyt Avenue is a continuation of Lester Place, it should be
changed to Lester Place,'!
Whereupon, in accordance with the recommendation of the report
of the Building Inspector and Engineer, on motion by Councilman Brush,
seconded by Councilman Kane, it was unanimously
RESOLVED that the street now known as William
Place, running from Fifth Avenue to the existing

lielmo in the Town of Mamaroneck, New York,

fice, Division of Land Records, as Map No. 2846;
and also, that the street now known as Hoyt Ave-
nue, running westerly from the existing end of

The Supervisor presented the following memorandum from

regard to inclusion in the Town's Compensation Plan of the part-
time position of Building & Plumbing Inspector.
"I have been advised that a part-time position will be placed
in the Non-competitive Class if the same position on a full-
time basis would be a Competitive Class position.
bay
The Building and Plumbing Inspector is in such a category and
as a professional engineer, Mr. Friedlander is qualified for the
position.
However, as an exempt position, which is what this was for-
merly considered, we never carried it in our Compensation Plan,
As allon-competitive position, the classification should be in-
cluded as part of our Plan, and it would be in order to amend our
Compensation Plan by resolution by the addition of the position of
Building and Plumbing Inspector (Part Time) at $2, 500."

posed bus route in the Town of Mamaroneck:
"The Public Service Commission has called to my attention
that there appears to be a typographical error in the descrip-
tion of the bus route followed by the Leon's Taxi Service in the
Town of Mamaroneck. In the resolution of your honorable
Town Board of February 5, 1958, paragraph 1 of the route de-
scription should read "beginning at the northeasterly boundary
line of the Village of Larchmont" instead of the Village of Ma-
maroneck as it now reads. My request, on which the resolu-
tion was based, referred to that section of Palmer Avenue be-
tween the said line of the Village of Larchmont and Richbell
Road.
The Public Service Commission also points out that in Para-
graph 2 of the terms and conditions, the temporary consent is
limited to within 180 days of the date of the resolution. Inas-
much as the Public Service Commission has extended its tem-
porary certificate to and including August 16th, it is suggested
that the term of your resolution might be extended to and in-
cluding September 1, 1958, in order to give the Public Service
Commission an opportunity to pass upon any pending application
for a permanent consent.
I therefore respectfully request that the resolution of Febru-
ary 5, 1958, be amended in the respects herein mentioned."
Whereupon, on motion by Councilman Kane and seconded by
Councilman Waterman, it was unanimously
RESOLVED that the paragraph numbered 1. of the
route description in the resolution adopted by this
Board on February 5, 1958, granting consent to
Josephine Mastocciolo, d/b/a Leon's Taxi Service,
for the operation of omnibuses over certain streets,
avenues, and highways in the Town of Mamaroneck,

1. BEGINNING at the northeasterly boundary
line of the Village of Larchmont adjacent
to the Town of Mamaroneck on Palmer
Avenue; running thence northeast on Pal-
mer Avenue to Richbell Road and thence
south on Richbell Road to the boundary
line between the Town of Mamaroneck
and the Village of Mamaroneck, and re-
turn over the same route.
and further, that the paragraph numbered 2. under the
- terms and conditions contained in this resolution, be
amended so as to read as follows:
2, The Operator shall obtain a certificate of
convenience and necessity from the Pub-
lic Service Commission of the State of New
York and unless the same be granted within
270 days of the date of this resolution, this
consent shall lapse and become null and
void.

nual 4th of July celebration held annually in Flint Park, and re-
questing the Town to participate in the cost of this year's cele-
bration by contributing thereto the sum of $150. 00.
After the Supervisor explained in some detail the law as it
applied to Towns in connection with participation in patriotic ob-
servances; and upon ascertaining that the requested sum of
$150. 00 was available, upon motion by Councilman Waterman,
seconded by Councilman Brush, it was unanimously
RESOLVED that the sum of $150. 00 be allocated
to the 4th of July celebration to be held at Flint
Park, to be paid from the Patriotic Day Obser-
vance Fund in the 1958 budget.

"On January 16, 1958, we borrowed $50, 000. at 1. 907a
for a one year period with the privilege of prepaying it
at any time. As the money market is now very favor-
able to us for borrowing, we are borrowing the $320, 000
(in effect, the full amount needed for our share of the
water supply line) from the County Trust Company at the
rate of 1. 201o.
As we will not need all of these funds at,present, it is
planned to place $150, 000 on a time deposit basis at an
interest rate of 2ofo for six (6) months which will have the
effect of reducing our interest costs on the entire borrow-
ing to considerably less than 1%.
In addition, $50, 000 will be used to prepay the existing ob-
ligation and the balance will finance the contracts pres-
ently being completed. "'
At this time, the Town Clerk informed the Board that the Su-
pervisor had filed with him the following documents in connection
with the temporary borrowing in the amount of $320, 000 in accor-
