lage of Larchmont, who wished to address the Town Board regarding the
use of land in the Town for dump purposes.
He said he was at the meeting at the suggestion of Supervisor Mandeville,
and then proceeded to read 2 memoranda which he had previously submitted
to the Trustees of the Village of Larchmont. He went on to explain the
situation using a map, and emphasized the fact that it is rubbish and
not garbage which is to be dumped, Mrs. Richards said the Village is
now dumping in the area of Lorenzen Place which will be suitable to the
needs of the Village for the next 5 years. The Village is interested
in some arrangement to acquire property located in the Town which will
take care of future dumping . At present there is no property located
within the limits of the Village ;which could be used for this purpose.
The Supervisor said that the Town has been taking care of the residue
from the Incinerator for the last 7 or 8 years, which includes that of
the Village of Larchmont. He went on to say that he believed the people
living in the area of the property to be considered should be given an
opportunity to be heard before anything is decided. He also said it
is possible that the Incinerator might of necessity be moved in order
to make room for the proposed Thruway.
