FJRTiER RESOLVED that the Tov- n attorney is hereby
authorized and di.ected to sign the necessary stipu-
lations to obtain orders of the Supreme Court pro-
viding for such reductions.
Mr . Deii 'us reported ',o the Board that on February 21, 1951, tine Town
was notified by the New Haven Railroad Company that suit had been
brought against the Railroad Company by one Harry VV= rInowles to recover
�l.330 for personal injjuries when he tripped, and fell over a fence or
barrier located at the easterly end of the west- -found platform at
Larch_montm This accident was said to have occurred on November 27th,
9950, at about 5: 45 Pa Ma , but the action had been brought in a -muni-
cipal court in New York City,
The Railroad clamed that if any recovery was had against it, the Town
must reimburse it under the lease between the Railroad Company and
Re-
the Town Park Department, in which the Town agrees to inderanil°y the
Railroad 'for all such damages . He said further, that he had had the
matterinvestiga.ted and there was no report w=iatsoever of any such
accident, either to the Rail oad_ personnel at the Station or to the
Poiice Department and under the provisions of Section 50 of the
General Municipal Law, the manes claim against the To?-?n was barred
for failure to f i-ea claim with the Town C le r'. within the time
limited. by Section 50 of the General Municipal Law.

Notwithstanding this, Mr. Delius said he had referred the claim to the
Hartford Accident Indemnity Company 7a'ho claim that this risk was not
covered even under the comprehensive policy because at the time of
this accident (November 27, 1950) the policy did not cover liability
under a lease such as the one between the Town and the Railroad and
so the Insurance Company refused to accept this claim for settlement.
(Since then, he said, the policies have been endorsed to cover such
risk)
The Railroad Company has suggested a possible settlement for some
nominal sum and the Town Attorney, while he stated he doubted the Town
as responsible since the accident was claimed to have resulted from
failure to properly maintain a light at the easterly end of the west-
bound platform and the injured man could not, therefore, see the
barrier or fence which the Railroad Company had erected to 'weep cars
from encroaching upon the railroad tracts, recommended that the claim
be settled if possible . He was unable to set any figure but the 'Town j
Board agreed in principal to such a procedure.
The Board discussed the application made by Joseph Lewis, to 'prohibit
f.
or restrain the use of the Auditorium of the Teaver Street Fire House
for masses by the Church of Sts. Raul and John and its use by the
Temple on their high holy days .
Mr. Delius stated that, while he had only just received a copy of the
papers served upon the Supervisor, he believed that the application �
could_ be successfully contested. He was directed to proceed accor-
dingly,
There being no further business to come before the meeting, the Board
adjourned at 10:45 Pm M. to meet again on June 27th.
