The minutes of December 5, 1945, were approved with cor- rections . The Supervisor asked if there was any one present who wished to appear before the Board. Mr. Charles Mink, Architect, representing Mr. Frank Guadagnolo appeared to ask the Boards views on building a one- family apartment over the garage and service station being erected by Mr . Guadagnolo. The Supervisor asked Mr . Mink if he had discussed this with the Fire Department or Mr . Rate , the Building Inspector. Mr . Punk replied that he had not. Following discussion it was decided that 1,1r. Mink discuss it with both the Fire Depart- ment and Nor. Rate and also submit elevation drawings, including that facing the railroad tracks. Mr. Morris Stern appeared before the Board requesting that the Town accept an offer of '$359.51, on behalf of a client, in payment of the face amount of the tax liens for the years 1941 to 1944 inclusive , on property known as Block 812, Parcel 170. He said that this property consists of five vacant lots located in the Harbor Heights section of the Village of Mamaroneck and that the owner had invested a great deal of money in the original purchase of these lots. The Supervisor explained to Mr. Stern that it is the Board' s policy on offers of this nature to accept the face amount of the tax liens plus interest at 6%. He suggested that Mr. Stern consult with his client further in trying to obtain the additional $46.41 in order to complete this transaction. Mr. Stern stated he would take this matter up with his client. Mr. Jonathan T. welsh and Mr . Warren K. Friar appeared on behalf of the American Legion Post #90, to ask the Town Board to turn over to this post the old Town Hall located on Prospect Avenue . Mr. 71elsh informed the members of the Board that the Committee had investigated many homes which would not be large enough to house their prospective membership. They had also fi- gured on purchasing a lot to build a home but that building materi- als would not be available for quite some time. He said that it is their desire to get a place large enough for a membership that may reach 1,000 in order that the returning veterans may have a vat the first o � ' mention to renovate place to meet. It would be their i floor of the old Town Hall to make club rooms; a kitchen and a din- ing room and on the second floor would be their meeting room. Both � lu representatives of Legion Post 90 asked the members of the Board to give it their consideration. This the Board promised to do . Mr. Oreste Poccia appeared to ask that a new water pipe be installed on Laurel Avenue where he is building some new homes. He said that the present 111 pipe which is twenty-two years old has four houses connected to it, and requested that something be done. Mr. George Polera, appearing on the same matter, stated that he was the one responsible for stopping the further tapping Of this water line inasmuch as it was a private water line installed and paid for by his family. He said that he was in favor of the installation of a new and larger main at the Townts expense but objected strongly to this installation for which an assessment for its cost would be levied against his property. Following further discussion, the Supervisor agreed to take up the matter with the Westchester Joint Water Works and re- port back at the next meeting. Mr. William J.RT. Merritt appeared before the Board in regard to property known as Section 9, Block 94, Lot 7. He said that some time last August he had negotiated with the Village of Mamaroneck and had arranged to purchase the deed to the above men- tioned property from Bonded Municipal Corp . for the sum of $150. The Village of Mamaroneck then agreed to accept this deed and in turn sell the property to him for one-third the assessed valuation or X1,350. He also stated that Manager Johnson had informed him 'that the Town had always gone along with the Village in these sales and that this was the proper procedure to follow and by obtaining the deed this would wipe out all the foreclosure costs . Mr. Merritt asked the Town Board to give consideration to his offer of 81,350 for this property, which offer does not cover the face amount of the taxes owned by the Village and Town. The Supervisor pointed out to Mr . Merritt that in all his negotiations with the Village, Manager Johnson had pointed out to him that any offer accepted by the Village would still have to be subject �he the approval of the Town Board. Following further discussion the members of the Board in- formed Mr. Merritt that this matter would be discussed later in the meeting. The Supervisor asked if there was any one else who wished to appear before the Board. There being no response , he requested the Town Clerk to read the cormunications. The Town Clerk presented and read the affidavit of pub- lication of the Advertisement which appeared in the Daily Times on December 28, 1945 in reference to the sale of property known as Block 915, Parcel 32. He informed the members of the Board that there was only one bid which was received from Mr. Donald B. Abbott in the sum of $20105. All cash. A certified check in the amount of $210.50 accompanied the bid. In dicussing the offer made , the members of the Board decided that inasmuch as the property is located in the Village of Mamaroneck, that an expression be obtained from them as to their approval or disapproval. Mr. Abott who was present, further explained that if his offer is accepted, that in time he intended to enlarge his present establishment.
