The Supervisor suggested that the Board deviate from the
regular order of business to hear those present who wished to address
the Board. '
Mr. Lawrence Greenbaum, attorney for Lt. William P. Rosen-
sohn, appeared to talk about the subdivision of the former Prince
Willows Estate located on Old White Plains Road and Griffen Avenue .
He introduced Mr. John J Watson, Consulting Engineer-Town Planner, for
Mr. Rosensohn. Mr. Greenbaum explained to the Board that it was their
intention to file a subdivision at the present as the plans were in a
preliminary stage and were submitted to Town Engineer Foote in an ad-
visory capacity.
Mr. John J. Watson stated that Mr. Foote had made a study of
the layout and had made several suggestions, which Mr. Foote explained
to him were subject to the approval of the Town Board. Mr. Watson stated
that the property would be planned and maintained with one-acre plots
as small country estates of not over forty (40) houses and it was his
opinion and experience that an 18' road is ample to take care of the
needs of this development. He said that a 30 foot road would make a
citified street which is the thing most city planners are trying
to get away from.
Regarding Mr. Footers criticism that the Town Board would
not favor the suggested: layout with respect to the two dead-end streets
with turn grounds, Pair. Watson pointed out that quite a number of "cul-
de-sacs" with a 100 foot radius at the end have been approved by planning
boards of recent date in Westchester County.
The Supervisor pointed out that although there was not a doubt
in his mind that the proposed development was of the best, there were
several factors to be considered. Said the Supervisor, °` We are thinking
about the day that is coming when all of these subdivided plots will be-
come the properties of others and they will call upon someone to serve
them, maintain their streets, etc." He further stated that he believed
that the Board would like to see this tract developed and that it would
no doubt be a great asset to this community. He suggested that Mr. vatson
consult with Mr. Foote and that in his opinion the differences were not
too great and some decision could be reached.
Mr. Watson agreed to do this and thanked the Board for their
courtesy in discussing the proposed development with them.
Mr. Reuben Sirlin, Attorney, appeared before the Board re-
lative to a commission which he claimed was due him on the recent sale
of a parcel of Tovm-owned property to his client, Mr . Jules Gorlitz .
He said that he had written a letter to the Town Attorney explaining
his position in the matter and was leaving the payment of this com-
mission entirely up to the Town Board.
The Supervisor stated that this offer was accepted in good
faith with the understanding that Pair. Sirlin was representing Mr.
Gorlitz as an attorney and not as a broker.
i
Mr. Sirlin then added that according to law all attorneys
are entitled to commissions.
When asked by the members of the Board, the Town Attorney
stated that this was the law. He further stated that he believed Mr.
Sirlin was representing Mr. Gorlitz strictly as an attorney and was
informed of a commission due when he spoke to Mr. Sirlin after the
contracts had been prepared.
The Supervisor asked the other members of the Board what their
opinion was of the matter.
Councilman 'Watson said that he had spent quite a little time
on the inspection of this property and it was his opinion that the Town
was getting the minimum at the time . As far as he was concerned he
would like to stand by the resolution as it was passed by the Board
and added that he thought it was a direct sale .
Councilman Mills said that he thought Mr. Sirlin was entitled
to the commission and that when he voted for the resolution approving
the sale he took it for granted that Mr . Sirlin would receive his com-
mission
Councilman Stiner said that he was of the opinion that Mr.
Sirlin was representing Mr. Gorlitz as a lawyer and. it was news to him
that lawyers were entitled to a broker' s commission, whether specified
or not.
Following further discussion, it was on motion by Supervisor
Mandeville , seconded by Councilman Watson,
_ RESOLVED, that the payment of a commission to Mr .
Reubin Sirlin in connection with the Gorlitz sale,
be denied.
The vote on the foregoing resolution was as follows:
Ayes: Supervisor Mandeville,.
Councilman Stiner
Noes: Councilman Mills
Absent: Councilman Embury
Fire Chief Burton appeared with a delegation of the Town' s Fire
Department. He suggested that a letter from the Fire Department Council
dated April 15, 1946 which was in the hands of the Town Clerk be read.
The letter requested additional compensation for the paid
personnel and attached was a schedule of salaries paid to firemen of
neighboring towns and villages .
When asked by the Supervisor what the recommendations were
the Fire Chief replied that he thought if the men were paid on the same
basis as the Policemen , that is, on the same basis as the patrolmen
with the same period of service, they would be satisfied. A comparison
of the compesation received by the police was discussed.
Following further discussion the Supervisor advised the mem-
bers of the Fire Department delegation that the Board would give their
- request careful consideration and a report would be made at the next
meeting.
Mr. Anthony Testa again appeared to ask what decision had
been reached regarding his offer for the purchase of tax liens on Block
124, Parcel 423.

The Supervisor stated that it was his understanding that
the owner of record intended to take care of the taxes on the property
he owns along Laurel Avenue .
A lengthy discussion ensued in which protection to the tax-
payer, the amount of the offer, and giving the veterans a chance, was
brought up.
The Supervisor instructed the Town Attorney to write a letter
to Mr. Charles Mayone advising him of the situation.
The Supervisor requested that the meeting proceed with re-
ports of comnittees.
