Because of the many new homes that will have to be
inspected between now and the First of June , Councilman Watson
suggested that the Assessor carry some suitable identification to
serve as a mark, of recognition, when making his inspection.
The Supervisor said that this suggestion would be
carried out.
Councilman Embury reported that the Flag Pole at Station
Park is in bad condition and should be replaced. He estimated that
the total cost of a new steel pole would be somewhere between $1300.
and $1400. He said there was sufficient surplus in the Park District
budget and prior years ' operations to cover the cost of installing a
new flag pole.
Following discussion, it was suggested that at least three
estimates be obtained by the Park Commission for this work.
Councilman Embury reported there were more trees afflicted
with Dutch Elm disease. He said that the trees in the Town had been
taken care of by the Park Department , but there are many diseased
trees on County Parkway property and the County has done absolutely
nothing about them. He suggested that perhaps they could be persuaded
to take care of them.
105
The Supervisor replied that the answer is that the County
Commission seems to be lacking men and money . However , he added,
he would try to use his best efforts to see if something can be done.
Councilman McKeever reported that other areas will have
to be found for future dumping of ashes and rubbish.
Councilman Mills reported that at the annual meeting and
election of officers of the Town of Iiamaroneck Fire Department on
Monday, February 16 , 1948, the following members were elected to
hold office for 1948:
Chief: George W. Burton

Office of the Supervisor
Town of Mamaroneck
Mamaroneck, N.Y.
Dear Mr. Supervisors
It is indeed a pleasure to write this letter since it,
serves to confirm the telephone conversation I had with
you concerning the desire on the part of this Legion Post
to secure and donate an ambulance for the use of the
Larchmont Postal Area.
We are now considering plans to achieve this purpose ,
but , before we can actually start , the membership has
requested that written confirmation be secured from
i
i
your government of the Town' s willingness to
accept and maintain the ambulance jointly with
the Village of Larchmont.
t°de are indeed gratefil of the opportunity of being
of service to our community , and await your reply
with keen. anticipation.
For the Legion,
/s/ S.H. Fine , LT.D.
On motion by Councilman Embu.rv , seconded by Councilman
Mills , it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that this Board expresses its willingness
to accept and maintain the ambulance jointly with
the Village of Larchmont , which Larchmont Post ,
¢x347, American Legion rlans to donate.
The Supervisor reported that the Committee on Legislation
met with the Testchester Count , Village Officials Association to
see what possible solution could be decided upon to satisfy the
Villages as to a larger percentage of state aid.
He said there were several formulas presented for con-
sideration but that finally the one known as Formula Pao. 3 was
considered as being most likely to meet the approval of the Board
of Supervisors and the Villages. Linder this Formula , the Town' s
share would drop about 824,000. which would be distributed to the
Village of Larchmont and Village of Mamaroneck.
-- He added that there is no definite assurance this would
be acceptable to the Wlestchester County Village Officials Association
and Board of Supervisors , but it is about the only encouraging formula
that can be considered. It is his feeling that something should be
done for both Villages in an effort to satisfy them in this respect.
The Supervisor presented and read the following report
of the cost of snow removal in the unincorporated area , from
December 26 , 1947 to February 28, 1948, as follows :
