Larry Yarsella will assume the duties of labor foreman in the
Highway Department and in the performance of his duties he will be re-
quired to take the men to and from the different jobs, picking up small
materials and supplies which would necessitate that Mr. L'arsella use the
large dump truck and which, the Supervisor pointed out, would be a very
inefficient and uneconomical procedure.
It was for this reason that he felt a Pickup truck was an
essential purchase at this time and he recommended that the Town purchase
a 1947, half-ton Ford Pickup.
The Supervisor further explained that as this would be a piece
of highway equipment, there were certain legal formalties that would
have to be complied with. The first step would be the publication of
a notice of intent to purchase by the Town Board, at least five days
prior to the date at which the anticipated purchase will be discussed.
After further discussion, it was unanimously agreed that the
Tot,=*n Clerk be authorized to place the requires', Legal Notice in the Daily
Times at least five days prior to the next meeting which would be on
June 18, 1947.
The Supervisor informed the members of the Board that he also
.had at hand a recommendation from Nr. Foote for the purchase of a new
pickup truck.
The Supervisor presented a letter addressed to Town Engineer
Foote, from Daniel F. hacNamee & Co. , Inc . , requesting perrrission to sublet
any part of Elkan Park_ Improvements Contract -#107, to the Circle
Construction Corporation. He stated that he had a memorandum from 1",r .
Foote recommending that this request be approved.
Following discussion, it was on motion by Councilman Stiner,
seconded by Councilman Mills, unanimously
RESOLVED, that approval is hereby given for the
employment of Circle Construction Corporation as
subcontr ctor under Daniel F. N"acNamee & Co. . Inc .
on job known as 11 Contract -4107, Elkan Park Improve-
ments ."
The Supervisor asked if there was any one present who wished
to be heard.
Mr . Kenneth Mink of 131 Paln.er Avenue, Larchmont, appeared and
stated that he as a veteran felt that he should receive the same monetary
consideration as the Town Board was extending to the Larchmont Veterans '
Housing Corporation.
He amplified this by stating that the expenditure the Town is
making for the utilties and road surfaces in the Elkan Park Development
amounts to approximately $750. per unit, and he felt that as he had re-
cently completed his house at the rear of 121 Palmer Avenue, the Town
should make him a contribution of a similar amount. He said the cost
of cast iron pipe being so prohibitive, he had abandoned his original
intention of hooking a lateral sevier into the trunk sewer, and instead,
--- had a septic tank installed.
The Supervisor asked Mr . Mink whether he was requesting $750.,
or the cost of installing the septic tank. Id[r . Think stated that he
thought he should be treated the same as the other veterans in that he
should receive 5750®
He was then asked what the cost of installing the septic
tank and Mr. Mink said it cost about $350.
675
The Supervisor informed Yr. Link that the members of the Board
would, give consideration to his request and that he would be advised of
the Board' s decision. He further informed P;'.r. P_ink that the - Toxin was
justified in making the expenditure in connection with the L•archmont
Housing Project, but in this particular case the Town Attorney would have
to advise the Board as to the legal aspect .
The Supervisor suggested that the meeting proceed with the
reports of Committees .

of taxes .

Councilman Embury stated that the only matter he had to report
was that the new parking regulations at the Larchmont Station had been put
into effect. He explained that the buses after discharging passengers were
then required to park in the new area which had been set aside for them
where they awaited the arrival of incoming trains . He said that this did'
not tie up the area directly in front of the Station as it had in the past .
