IT IS ORDERED AS FOLLOWS:
At a regular meeting of the Town Board, to be
held on the 18th day of March, 1953, at 8: 15
P . M. , in the Council room of the Weaver Street
Fire House, Weaver Street and Edgewood Avenue,
in the Town of Mamaroneck, the Town Board of
the Town of Mamaroneck will meet to consider
the said petition for the extension of Sewer
District No. 1 of the Town of Mamaroneck, lying
in the said Town of Mamaroneck outside of incor-
porated `T-illages of Larchmont and Mamaroneck,
and to hear all persons interested in the subject
thereof, concerning the same.
The Town Attorney stated that he had received from Mr. Paul Orrico, a
request for issuance of a duplicate tax lien, which lien was sold May
27, 1936, for the 1935 taxes, covering premises known as Block 112,
Parcel 546 on the Tax Map of the Town, in the amount of $10.58.
This lien was originally sold to Bonded Municipal Corporation and was
purchased from them by Paul Orrico through an assignment, on or about
November 19, 1937, at which time, Mr. Orrico received, in addition to
the assignment, the original tax lien. An affidavit was submitted by
Mr. Orrico stating that he had lost this lien and assignment and is
unable to find either, and he had received from Bonded Municipal Cor-
poration, a duplicate assignment. Also submitted is an affidavit from
Mr. A. U. Rodney, President of Bonded Municipal Corporation, confirm-
ing the assignment of this lien and stating that he has been unable
to find the original.
Mr. Orrico requests that he be allowed to satisfy this lien without
the production of the original and for this purpose, requests that a
duplicate be issued. He has agreed to indemnify the Town against
any "loss occasioned by the production of the original.
On motion by Councilman Embury, seconded by Councilman McKeever (Upon
recommendation of Mr. Delius) it was, upon roll call, unanimously
RESOLVED that duplicate lien, covering premises known as
Block 112 Parcel 546 (formerly known as Section 1, Block
28, Lot 1)+) on the Tax Assessment Map of the Town. of
Mamaroneck, sold to Bonded Municipal Corporation on
May 27, 1936, in the amount of $10.58 and thereafter
assigned by Bonded Municipal Corporation to Paul Orrico,
may be issued to Paul Orrico pursuant to the provisions
of the Westchester County Administrative Code, Chapter
852 of the Laws of 1948, Section 582, in order that this
duplicate lien may be surrendered to the Receiver of
Taxes, together with a satisfaction, so that the
same may be cancelled of record.

The Town Attorney read a letter from Mr. Bernard L. Miller, stating
that he would accept $1,650. for the strip in front of his property
at 286 Weaver Street, corner of Heather Lame, for the construction
of a sidewalk but that, in addition, he wanted a contract or agree-
ment providing for the following:
(1) An anchor wire fence, 4 feet in height of suitable type
for residential property, which is to be erected along the new
line of his property after the taking on Weaver Street and also
on Heather Lane.
(2) Trees to be cut down and removed from the area to be taken.
(3) The wire fence to be properly planted with evergreen
shrubs and climbing roses to provide privacy.
(L,) Legal expenses to be assumed by the Town of Mamaroneck.
After discussion, the Town Attorney was authorized to make a contract
for the acquisition of the necessary strip for the sidewalk upon the
terms stated in Mr. Miller' s letter.
The Town Attorney presented Mr. T. H. Allen of the Westchester Shore
Humane Society who, he stated, wished to appear and address the
Board in co- ection with the contract for impounding and care of
animals.
The usual contract, the Attorney stated, had been signed in January
of this year in form identical to that used in previous years, but
this contract was returned on January 12th, by the Commission of
Agriculture and Markets with the notation that the contract could
not be approved unless it contained a clause providing that the
Humane Society would comply with all provisions of Section 5A of
the Public Health Law of the State of New York (Metcalfe-Hatch Act,
Chapter 96 of the Laws of 1952) .
The Attorney further stated that the Society, in view of the declared
purpose of this law, refuses to accept this amendment to the con-
tract and, instead, is contesting the constitutionality and validity
of the Metcalfe Hatch Act and that, although decisions so far have
been against the Society, they intend to litigate the matter further
by way of trial and appeal.
Mr. Allen, he said, had prepared a new contract which he wishes
to substitute for the one previously signed and which he suggests
that the Town sign and forward to the State Department of Agricul-
ture and Markets with the request that it be approved.
Mr. Allen then addressed the Board and explained the matter in de-
tail and submitted the contract which he said was fair and reasonable
insofar as it accepted the provisions of the Public Health Law but
reserved the Society' s rights to contest the validity of the Act in
the Courts. He produced the new contract which is with the West-
chester Shore Humane Society rather than with the Westchester County
Dog Protective Association, Inc., which was - the contracting party
in the former agreement. He stated that this change had been made
because the former was already involved in litigation whereas the
latter had not, as yet, contested the law.
Mr. Embury and the Town Attorney agreed that the Town Board should
do whatever possible to assist the Society in getting its contract
approved so that the services heretofore rendered by the Humane
Society can be continued.

Upon motion by Councilman Embury, seconded by Councilman Kane, it
was unanimously
RESOLVED that the Supervisor be and he hereby is
authorized to sign and execute, on behalf of the Town,
the contract now submitted by the Westchester Shore
Humane Society for the impounding and care of dogs
for the year 1953.
FURTHER RESOLVED that the Town Attorney be and he
hereby is authorized and directed to forward this
contract to the Department of Agriculture and
Markets for approval, with the request that favorable
action be taken.
Mr. Harry Alpiar, 132 Chatsworth Avenue, again appeared and addressed
the Board in connection with a proposed swimming pool to be jointly
built and operated by the Village of Larchmont and Town of Mamaro-
neck. He said he would like to suggest that if the pool becomes
an actuality, that it be named as a living memorial to the War
dead.
He also said he believed the Town Board should appropriate $500 and
he hoped the Village of Larchmont would appropriate a like amount
to be used in making a survey of the swimming pool situation.
After discussion, on motion by Councilman Embury, seconded by
Councilman Kane, it was, upon roll call, unanimously
RESOLVED (:i£ the Board of Trustees of the Village of
Larchmont concurs) that the Town of Mamaroneck appro-
priate the sum of $500 for the employment of a compe-
tent engineer or engineers to make a survey of loca-
tions suitable and available for a swimming pool and
study of the cost for constructing a swimming pool
adequate to accommodate the residents of the Unincor-
porated Section of the Town of Mamaroneck and the
Village of Larchmont.
FURTHER RESOLVED that this appropriation is contingent
upon the appropriation of a similar amount by the
Village of Larchmont for the same purpose.
FURTHER RESOLVED that such appropriation, if made, be
made from General Town Surplus available for the purpose.
The Clerk submitted a letter from Mr. E. B. Van Hook, 7n. , Presi-
dent of the Larchmont Gardens Civic Association, replying to a
letter addressed to him by Mr. Gronberg, stating that he would be
happy to serve on the committee appointed by the Town Board to work
with the committee appointed by the Village Board of Larchmont, to
study the matter of a jointly owned and operated swimming pool in
this area. Mr. Van Hook was present at this meeting.
Mr. Price Topping appeared to ask if any action had been taken on
the matter of the application by some residents of the Howell-
Park section, to have the so-called 91Smith" property on Palmer
Avenue re-zoned by this Board.
The Supervisor said the Board members had visited the property and
Mr. Delius is analyzing the situation.
Mr. Topping said he would like to have assurance that there will be
a public hearing on the matter.
205
Mr. Frank O'Donnell also was anxious that a date be set for a
public hearing.
Mr. William G. Ball, Jr., 19 Concord Avenue, representing the Sixth
District Home Owners' Association, said he would support Mr.
O 'Donnell' s request.
Mr. Theodore S. Bates, /+0 Pine Brook Drive, representing the Pine
Brook Association, said his associates are vitally interested in
the question of zoning. He is not familiar with this situation but
thinks possibly the whole zoning situation should be reviewed and
cleared up.
Councilman Kane announced that he feels there is an ethical issue
involved.
The Supervisor suggested that at the next meeting, the builder might
be in a position to come before the Board and give some idea of
his position.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned in memory of
the late Mrs . Gertrude V. Kane, at 9: 55 P . M. , to meet again on the
18th of March, 1953, and immediately re-convened as the Board of

Supervisor Mandeville informed the Board members that he had invited
Fire Chief Erickson and Fire Inspector Burton to the meeting for the
purpose of reporting on fire conditions generally throughout the Town.
Chief Erickson reported that he had located 2 violations.
Inspector Burton said he believed the Chief had reference to the Avon
more Apartment, located on the Boston Post Road. He said that he, him_
self, had had a great deal of trouble with this apartment because of
the fact that the Superintendent is employed on a part-time basis. He
had made 6 inspections of this building during the last 10 days after
he had found refuse in the incinerator to the height of the second
floor. He contacted the owner of the apartment house and understands
that a new superintendent is to be employed on a full-time basis and
the boiler room is to be made fire-proof.
Chief Erickson went on to report on the icebox situation in the Larch-
mont Acres Apartments. He said the boxes are old and, he has been
told, are badly abused by the tenants. He, together with Inspector
— Burton, had talked with the Manager of the Acres who said he would do
what he can about the situation, and agreed, upon recommendation of
the Chief and the Inspector, that an inspection would be made of all
refrigerators.

The Supervisor informed the Chief and Inspector that the Town Board
sits as the Board of Fire Commissioners and is desirous of acting be-
fore anything happens and this can only be done upon the recommendation
of the Chief and Inspector. He went on to say that the Board of Fire
Commissioners is responsible to the people, and if it is a question of
additional help or added pressure being brought by the legal department,
it can be done. He said, "We want no excuses if anything happens.
Let' s correct it at the present time" .
Again reverting to the subject of the Avonmore Apartments, Chief
Erickson said that another inspection would be made the following morning.
Inspector Burton stated that the over-all picture, with regard to fire
conditions in the Town, is excellent.
The Supervisor asked about conditions existing in the rear of the
Plaza buildings which he believes constitute a fire hazard.
Mr. Burton said it had been at his request that the Garbage Department
of the Town make an extra pickup at this building.

The Supervisor submitted a report on the cost of rubbish collection for
June 16 and 17 and July 1 and 2.
It was decided that the stores there, (notably Gristede? s) are entitled
to no more service than any resident in the Town and any necessary
extra pick-ups should be made by private carriers.
Inspector Burton said he would so notify the Manager of Gristedees store.
Chief Erickson and Inspector Burton then retired from the meeting.
