The Board discussed adoption of an ordinance regarding the wearing of
bathing
ut i attire or shorts on the public Streets, but no action was
taken.
The Town Attorney brought up the matter of the application of Mr.
Louis A. Fribourg, 1308 Arlington Street, Mamaroneck, to waive penal- �
ties on tar_ liens, on which he had been asked to repo. at the last
meeting . As stated that in the past, under certain circumstances,
penalties and interest on liens owned by the Town, had been wa.ivedi.
The Board took no action.
Mr. Delius reported that on April 13th, Governor Dewey signed a bill
(which became Chapter 699 of the Laws of 1954) amending the Town Law,
Village Law, General City Law, and Membership Corporations Law, in
relation to membership of volunteer firemen and fire companies. It
is intended to clarify and correct the present situation which exists
with regard to members of fire companies Who are non-residents of
ends protection b °
the fire district or a district to which it extends � 5
contract.
Mr. Delius said that on November 5, UK, he had advised the Fire
Council by letter that, in compliance with the existing law, n11
members of the fire companies constituting the Weaver Street Depart-
ment who were non-residents of the Unincorporated_ A rea, must be
dropped from the rolls .
The Town Law, as no v amended, leaves no further doubt on this sub-
ject and definitely establishes four things:
(1) volunteer members of a fire department must be residents of the
fire district when they are appointed;
(2) If a member ceases to be a resident of the fire district, his
membership is terminated;
(3) Under certain circumstances, a member may be authorized to con-
tinue his membership if he gives notice of moving from the fire dis-
trict,
and if ne has already moved, he may be reinstated under these
same conditions;
(4) The Board of Fire Commissioners may restrict the membership
of volunteer firemen to residents of the fire district.
Mr. Delius was instructed to write the Fire Department and notify
them of the changes in the law.
?'+i.r. Delius, in the absence of the Superintendent of Highways, Hr.
0°Brien, stated that Mr . O' Brien desires to ask for bids for bitumin-
ous paving material, transit mix concrete and stone to be used in
the forthcoming road program, and suggested that invitations to

The Board authorized the publication of !notice to Bidders for such
material as the Superintendent of Highways will require.
