Present at this second hearing, were a number of builders who protested that the Requirements were too strict . The Planning Board, therefore, agreed to study whatever recommendations for changes which might be submitted by this builders. On March 15th, he attended a meeting of the Park Commission, at which there was considerable discussion of the planting of the Station Park flower beds for this summer, because of the contem- plated construction of the Thruway. It was decided to spend only a nominal amount (if possible under $300) as compared with $800 spent the previous summer. On March 21st, Mr. Brush attended a meeting of the Recreation Commission at which Mr. Ahern, Superintendent of Schools, dis- cussed recreation, including the summer program contributed by the Board of Education. Also at this meeting, the Town Golf Tournament Committee reported that it is undecided as yet, whether the proposed tournament will be held at Winged Foot or the Hamp- shire Country Club. Mr. Brush also suggested to the Board that it might be a good idea to amend the Parking Meter Ordinance, to eliminate the charge for parking on Saturdays. This was referred to Chief Yerick for recommendation. The Town Attorney presented a letter from the Westchester County Attorney, with which was enclosed a form of agreement for the acquisition by the County, of two sewer pump stations in the Town of Mamaroneck, operated by Sewer District No. 1, one on Fenimore Road together with the force main running from that plant to connect with the Westchester County trunk system, and the other station in a vault in the bed of Colonial Avenue near Murray Avenue . This contract further provides that the County will re- transfer to the Town, the gravity operation of certain force main sewers which were turned over to the County in 1934 but for which the County has now no further use because of the con- struction of the New Rochelle Sanitary Sewer District. Since these lines, however, are still used by the Town, it is planned to re-transfer them as soon as the County makes the necessary connections with the new New Rochelle trunk sewer. The contract also has attached to it, as an exhibit, a schedule of equipment replacements or additions to the two pumping stations which the Town will transfer to the County, and these replace- ments and additions are to be made before acceptance by the County. On motion by Councilman McKeever, seconded by Councilman Waterman, it was, upon roll call, unanimously RESOLVED that the Supervisor be and he hereby is authorized to sign the contract as submitted.

The Town Attorney presented a letter from Mr. A. J. Foote, for- - merly Town Engineer, recommending that a correction deed be given to Ralph Chilcoat, purchaser of premises known as Block 604 Parcel 361, which the Town acquired in the 1947 foreclosure in rem proceeding, because the description used in the deed from the Supervisor to the Town and from the Town to Chilcoat was erroneous. He submitted for the Supervisor 's signature, two correction deeds . On motion by Councilman McKeever, seconded by Councilman Waterman, it was, upon roll call, unanimously RESOLVED that the Supervisor be and he hereby is authorized to sign these two correction deeds. The Town Attorney reported as follows on the legislation pending in Albany: The bill creating the Exempt Firemen's Benevolent Association was passed and signed by the Governor and has become Chapter 39 of the Laws of 1955. The pryer Manor Bridge bill has been passed by the Assembly and will be sent to the Governor for signature . The bill to allow the Fire District to make a contract with Larchmont Village for protection of the Dillon Park area, has apparently been disapproved by the Department of Audit and Control. The Supervisor requested a resolution for the purchase of a Bell and Howell CRX motion picture projector with 6 foot radiant _ educator screen in the amount of $431 for use by the department of Civil Defense . Councilman McKeever asked if it would not be cheaper to rent a machine than to purchase one outright. It was decided to take no action on this matter until further information could be obtained. The Supervisor read a letter from Mr. Barry K. Keller, 76 Mamaro- neck Avenue, White Plains, K. Y. , stating that he would repre- sent the Town on the basis of a fee of $500 for preparation, and $100 a day for Court appearances .
