Mr . A. G. Bogardus, 17 Overlook Terrace, said this is such a drastic change that he would like to propose that it be referred to the Planning Board for study and recommendation, and that any public hearing be put off until they have acted . Mr. Wanshel said he has no objection to going before the Planning Board. However, he said that, since the Planning Board's action will be only advisory, he would think it better to have the public hearing first. Mr. Bogardus objected . The Supervisor suggested that both meetings be held at the same time . Mr . Bogardus asked if the Planning Board does not make a decision, - will the meeting be postponed. Councilman Waterman suggested that the Planning Board be present and that no action be taken until they give their recommendation. The Supervisor objected to this as he said there might never be a recommendation. i After some further discussion, on motion by Councilman Kane, seconded by Councilman Waterman, it was unanimously RESOLVED that a, public hearing be called for the 23rd day of February, 1955, at 5: 15 P.

Briggs, with all due haste, to use his best efforts to have the plans and specifications completed as quickly as possible for the Thruway from the Chatsworth Avenue Bridge to the Village of Mamaroneck line. He also suggested that Mr. Delius do what he can in this connection, in the Associa- tion of Towns . On motion by Councilman Kane, seconded by Councilman Waterman, the following resolution was, upon roll call, unanimously adopted : WHEREAS , the New York State Thruway Authority has let contracts in connection with the work of constructing the Thruway in Westches- ter County to North Chatsworth Avenue in the Village of Larchmont; and WHEREAS, further construction plans have been held in abeyance, which will seriously affect traffic conditions and depress real estate values, both residential and business , NOW, THEREFORE, BE 1T RESOLVED that this Board hereby requests the Thruway Authority to proceed immediately with plans for the construction of the New England Thruway from North Chatsworth Avenue in the Village of La.rchmont, eastward through the Town and Village of Mamaroneck, in accordance with the general plan of the Authority. FURTHER RESOLVED that this Board urges the Thruway Authority to proceed with all convenient speed to prepare specifications and let contracts for the construction of the section of the New England Thruway east of Chatsworth Avenue. FURTHER RESOLVED that the Town Clerk be and he hereby is "instructed to forward a copy of this resolution to the Thruway Authority, The Supervisor reported that it was essential that the Assessor be provided with a car in order to properly perform his duties and he, therefore, recommended that the 1953 Ford Sedan which the Police Department plans to turn in for a new Police (Department car, be purchased from that Department for use by the Assessor. On motion by Councilman Brush, seconded by Councilman Waterman, it was unanimously RESOLVED that there is hereby appropriated the sum of $500 to the 1955 budget of the Assessor from Beneral Town Surplus. - FURTHER RESOLVED that the Assessor is hereby authorized to purchase a 1953 Ford Sedan from the Mamaroneck Town Police Department for the sum of $500. The Supervisor reported that the Highway Department has a truck which it apparently does not need for highway purposes and it is his recom- 29 mendation that a much greater allowance can be obtained by using this as a trade-in against the purchase of a new garbage truck which was provided for in the budget, rather than by a sale, and that he, therefore, recommended that the Garbage Department purchase this truck from the Highway Department at a fair value and then in turn, use it as part of the purchase price for the purchase of their new truck. On motion by Councilman Brush, seconded by Councilman. Waterman, it was unanimously RESOLVED that the Garbage Department be and it hereby is authorized to purchase one used 1950 Chevrolet Dump truck Engine No. HEA268954, Serial No. 2TWB-2566, from the Mamaroneck Town Highway Department, for the sum of $500, from funds provided within the 1955 Garbage District budget . The Supervisor presented a letter dated January 17, 1955, from Mr . C . J. Quinn, Secretary to Police Commission, saying that the Com- mission recommends the purchase of one emergency oxygen inhalator to be installed in a patrol car at a cost of approximately $110. Oxygen refills will cost approximately $17 each. Two cars are already equipped and a third is necessary to round out the Department's active patrol equipment . On motion by Councilman Brush, seconded by Councilman Waterman, it was unanimously RESOLVED that the Police Department be and it hereby is authorized to purchase one emergency oxygen inhala- tor to be installed in a patrol car at a cost of approximately $110. The Supervisor presented a letter, dated January 18, 1955, from Mr. Orsino, Comptroller, requesting authorization to transfer $1, 180.29, the surplus remaining in the 1954 Lighting District budget, to the 1955 Lighting District budget. On motion by Councilman Kane, seconded by Councilman Waterman, it was, upon roll call, unanimously RESOLVED that the Comptroller be and he hereby is authorized to transfer $1, 180.29, the surplus re- maining in the 1954 Lighting District budget, to the 1955 Lighting District budget . I The Town Attorney stated that the County of Westchester is willing to accept the sewer pumping plant on Fenimore Road with the force main and also the pumping plant on Colonial Avenue near Murray Avenue, and to maintain these in the future as part of the Mamaroneck Valley Sewer District . The Supervisor added that the acceptance will depend on the expen- diture of some money to put these plants in condition for accep- tance by the County and the County would prefer to do the work and be paid therefor by Sewer District No. 1 in the Town. On motion by Councilman Waterman, seconded by Councilman Brush, it was, upon roll call, unanimously RESOLVED that the Town of Mamaroneck hereby transfers to the Westchester County Sanitary Sewer Commission, the pump station on Fenimore Road and the land upon which it is built, which is described as follows : 31 BEGINNING at a point on the southwesterly side of Fenimore Road xhere the same is intersected by the boundary line between the Village of Mamaroneck and the Town of Mamaro- neck; thence running southwesterly along the above mentioned boundary line, S . 3Ci® 581 23" West 25.0 feet ; thence running along the boundary line between lands of the Town of Mamaro- neck and Charles G. Williams, N. 520 59® 40" Nest 50.0 feet and N. 35® 58 ' 23" East 25.0 feet to a point on the south- westerly side of Fenimore Road; thence running southeasterly along the southwesterly side of Fenimore Road, S . 52° 59' 401' East 50.0 feet to the point or place of beginning. i together with force main running from the plant to the West- chester County Trunk Sewer and also the pumping plant in the bed of Colonial Avenue, approximately 10 feet from the easterly side of Murray Avenue . The Town Attorney explained to the Board that since the last meet- ing, he had submitted a bill authorzing and permitting the Town of Mamaroneck to pay to the City of New Rochelle, 50% of the cost of construction and maintenance of the pryer Manor Bridge, provided the City acquired the same as a public bridge in the City of New Rochelle; that when he had submitted this bill to the legal staff of the City, they had suggested a change and proposed that the bill provide that the City of New Rochelle be authorized to accept the bridge as a City bridge because apparently they now have some doubts as to whether this can otherwise be done. He said that the Corporation Counsel of the City of New Rochelle had re-drawn the bill with some changes and a further provision that the Town might enter into a contract for the future mainten- ance of the bridge. Mr. Delius said that he would have preferred to exclude this . The Supervisor, however, warned that if the City of New Rochelle wants this, it had best be included as, otherwise, the City may not go through with the proposition. i The Town Attorney then submitted the bill and on motion by Council- man Kane, seconded by Councilman Waterman, it was unanimously RESOLVED that this Board hereby approves the bill prepared by the Town Attorney entitled "AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF NEW ROCHELLE, WESTCHESTER COUNTY, TO ACQUIRE PRYER MANOR BRIDGE WHICH SPANS THE PREMIUM RIVER, THE CENTER LINE OF WHICH IS THE BOUNDARY LINE BETWEEN THE CITY OF NEW ROCHELLE, WESTCHESTER COUNTY, AND THE TOWN OF MAMARONECK, WESTCHESTER COUNTY, AS A PUBLIC BRIDGE, AND AUTHORIZING THE TOWN OF MAMARONECK, WESTCHESTER COUNTY, TO PAY 50% OF THE COST OF THE MAINTENANCE OF SAID BRIDGE, " which reads as follows : The People of the State of New York represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows: Section 1.
