The Clerk presented and read a letter dated December 11th, received
from Mr. A. J. Foote, reporting on a petition filed with the Town
Board at its meeting of December 6th, and containing various requests
by the residents of Cabot Road. A summary of Mr. Footers letter is
as follows:
(1) In the opinion of the Chief of Police, a light at the curve of
Cabot Road extension is not necessary.
(2) The Town Engineer does not recommend the installation of a pipe
across Cabot Road because the proposed pipe would discharge into a
brook which flows into a culvert under the railroad and at times of
flood the water might flow back through the pipe and make matters
worse than they are at present. Also, the construction of the Thru-
way will change the entire picture.
(3) The widening of the driveway from the parking space is not
necessary as the paving is 20 feet wide and traffic is only one
way. This would only be necessary when and if Laurel Avenue is graged
and paved to Weaver Street.
(4) With reference to grading the railroad property from Vine Street
to Cabot Road for parking space, it is the opinion of the Engineer
that this work should not be done now as the Thruway construction
will probably change the parking problem at the station.
Mr. Footers report was ordered received and filed.
The Clerk presented and read a letter dated December 27th, from Mr.
A. J . Foote, Town Engineer, stating that the Chief of Police and
he recommended the installation of a 1,000 lumen light on Colonial
Lane. This light has been requested by the residents of that
street. The labor costs for setting the fixture and bracket will
be $6.80; the materials will cost $34®00; and the annual operating
charge will be $23.50.
On motion by Councilman Waterman, seconded by Councilman McKeever,
- it was unanimously
RESOLVED that the Town Engineer be and he hereby is
authorized to have installed on Colonial Lane, one 1,000
lumen light.

The Clerk presented and read the following letter received from Mr.
C . J . Quinn, Secretary to the Board of Police Commissioners:

BOARD OF POLICE COMMISSIONERS
TOWN OF MAMARONECK
Edgewood Avenue
Larchmont, N. Y.
December 21, 1950
Town Board, Town of Mamaroneck
158 West Boston Post Road
Mamaroneck, N. Y.
Gentlemen:
At a meeting of the Police Commission, Monday evening, December 18,
1950, Chief Paul A. Yerick presented for consideration, the matter
of Auxiliary Police in the organization of Civilian Defense.
It is proposed to recruit 25 to 35 men. Sometime early in January
these men will be ready for induction, briefing and a schedule of
training. The Town Board will wish to consider this plan for approval
and to determine in advance, arrangements for the method of "Swear-
ing in" these men, insurance coverage and other provisions appropriate
for their service.
A Police Training School for Civilian Defense will be opened at White
Plains, January 8, 1951, to run for 5 consecutive days. Chief Yerick
plans to select 2 men from the Department for attendance at this
School, after which these men will serve as instructors for the
Auxiliary Police.
The cost for transportation and meals for these 2 men for attendance
at the White Plains school course will approximate $25. In addition,
it is estimated that it will cost $"10. to $15 . per man to equip the
25 to 35 men to be recruited for the Auxiliary force. This equipment
will consist of caps, shields, whistles, flashlights, nightsticks,
armbands and notebooks. The shields have been ordered upon authoriz-
tion of the Supervisor.
The Commission forwards this report with full approval and assumes
that, if the Town Board approves, provisions will also be made for the
estimated expense for the various items listed.
The Commission attaches with regret, a letter from Dr. Charles Weller,
dated December 11, 1950, submitting his resignation as Police Surgeon.
Also attached is a copy of our reply. The matter is referred to the
Town Board for consideration and selection of a replacement Police
Surgeon.
The Commission voted to rescind their previous action of April, 1950,
for the installation of pedestrian bullseyes in 3 of the traffic
lights at North Chatsworth Avenue and Myrtle Boulevard. The bid for
installation by the Foley Hardware Company has been withdrawn. Upon
further consideration of the matter, the Commission recommends no
further action at this time.
In connection with the prohibition of all-night parking, the Commis-
', sion has adopted the following regularion under the provision of
Chapter II, Section 12, General Ordinances, Town of Mamaroneck:
357
(a) Authorization is hereby provided for the removal and
storage of vehicles parked or abandoned on public
highways during snow storms, floods, fires or other
public emergencies, and for the payment of reasonable
charges for such removal or storage by the owner or
operator of any such vehicle, but with respect to state
highways maintained by the State, subject to the control
of the State Traffic Commission.
Respectfully submitted,
C . J . Quinn
Secretary

Councilman Watson reported that at the last meeting he, together with
Councilman McKeever, had been requested to look into the matter of the
purchase of a motor sweeper. Although they had not been able to go
together to see the sweeper, their conclusions had been the same. An
old Austin-Western was the sweeper inspected and though it had been in
service for over a year, it seemed in good condition and the people
who were using it, gave it a very favorable report. After checking
some of the competitive makes, Councilman Watson and Councilman
McKeever agreed that this particular sweeper is probably better suited
to the requirements of the Town as it will reouire less maintenance.

Councilman McKeever, the Town Clerk was authorized to publish the
following Notice in the Mamaroneck Daily Times:

Supervisor Mandeville said he wished to commend the Police Department
for its very splendid work during the recent storm which occurred on
November 25th and lasted some 16 or 18 hours. He said every man in
the Department was on duty during the entire period of the sotrm and they
conducted themselves in a manner which reflected, throughout the Town,
credit and honor on the Police Department . He went on to say the Chief
deserves complimenting as well as every man in the Department and that
it is a gratifying experience to be able to work with those men.
Councilman McKeever had nothing to report.
Councilman Waterman said he would also like to say a few words of com-
mendation for the :job the Fire Department did, It was on the alert
during the entire storm. The Chief and the Deputy Chief spent the en-
tire day patrolling the Town. The Department received 50 or more
calls, each one of which received the proper attention and the neces-
sary action was taken. There was even a boat in readiness for use
in the event a fire might occur in the Hommocks which was cut off from j
the main land. The Chief, the Deputy Chief and the entire Department
should be highly commended for the untiring service they gave on that
day.
The Supervisor said that in view of all the damage done (wires down
as well as approximately 150 trees) it is gratifying to know that no
one was injured and this is a reflection of the efficiency of the
Police and Fire Departments .
On motion by Councilman Waterman, seconded by Councilman Watson, the
following resolution was unanimously adopted:
i
WHEREAS, the POLICE DEPARTMENT and FIRE DEPARTMENT of the Town of
Mamaroneck did on the 25th day of November, 1950, during a storm of un-
precedented severity, render services to the public untiringly and with
great efficiency,
NOW BE IT
RESOLVED that this Board wishes to highly commend the members
of both the Police Department and Fire Department of the Town
of Mamaroneck for having given so generously of their time and
services beyond the necessary line of duty, and express by means
of this resolution, its gratitude and appreciation of a job
well done.
373
FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to
George W. Burton, Chief of the Fire Department and Paul A.
Yerick, Chief of the Police Department so that it may be
posted for the members to read.
Councilman Waterman reported that he had a recuest from Chief Burton
for the purchase of 12 Indian Pumps at $32. each and 3 lights for a
generator at $25. each. These are to be used in connection with
Civilian Defense.
On motion by Councilman Waterman, seconded by Councilman Watson, it
was unanimously )
RESOLVED that this Board hereby authorizes the purchase
of 12 Indian Pumps at $32. each and 3 lights for a genera-
tor at $25 . each.
Town Attorney Delius reported that he had reviewed the Ordinances
with Mr. Foote and suggested that there should be an araendment to
provide that where a demolition permit is granted, public liability
insurance should be furnished in amounts of $100,000 and $300,000.
He believed the same thing should apply to housemoving. They had
also looked into the matter of street opening permits and Mr. Foote
suggested that a fee of $5 . should be charged for the same.
Mr. Delius was instructed to prepare the necessary notice for a
public hearing to be held at the meeting of January 17th, 1951.
Mr. Delius also reported that he had talked to the Attorney for
Larchmont Apartments, Inc. , relative to their certiorari proceeding,
and it was his belief that the matter could be settled by `a reduction
of $150,000. The Town Attorney was instructed to try to obtain a
better settlement.
The Board then discussed the application of Queen City Bus Corporation.
Supervisor Mandeville was opposed to the use of old equipment.
Councilman McKeever believed that inasmuch as this ecuipment had been
approved by the Public Service Commission it would be no longer within
the jurisdiction of the Board.
Councilman Watson said he would like to see the application granted
because the service is needed ammd he would be willing to approve the
use of the 1945 busses and not the 1937 busses.
No definite action was taken by the Board.
There being no further business to come before the meeting, it ad-
journed at 10 P . M. to meet again on January 3rd, 1951.
Town C e k
