ceived and ordered filed: Report of the Receiver of Taxes and Assess-
ments; Report of the Building Inspector; Report of the Plumbing In-
spector; Report of the Mamaroneck Health Center.
The Supervisor suggested that the meeting proceed with the
reports of committees.
Councilman Watson reported that he had spent some time in
the Town Offices since the last meeting and endeavored to get a little
acquainted with the various Departments.
Councilman Embury stated that at the last meeting of the
Park Department it was reported that there now appears 1,314 names on
the Honor Roll - 742 from the unincorporated section, and 572 from
the Village , with 31 Gold Stars and that there is room for 122 names.
He said that the Park Department is very anxious to economize and that
Mr. Brown , who is in charge of the Honor Roll , suggested that by re-
arranging the names making a solid block instead of leaving spaces
after each letter for additions, that it is possible that the present
structure will take care of all of the additional names by placing
the added ones at the end of the list. He pointed out that at the
present rate of the draft there is enough space for at least two years.
He said that the expenditures for the Park Department were
slightly less than for the same four months' period last year.
Referring to the plans submitted in accordance with the
sketches made by Mr. Otto Eggers, Architect, for a permanent post war
memorial, Councilman Embury explained that the Park Department feels
it does not want to do the new work at the present time. He stated
that the questioh left for consideration by the Town Board is whether
or not it will want to do something on this matter in the near future.
The Supervisor suggested that it might be well for Council-
man Embury to make a recommendation at the next Board meeting as the
Town Board is willing to carry out the wishes of the Park Department.
-- He explained that plans are already under way to take care of the
expenditures. That the amount could be included in the Budget for
two years.
The Supervisor reported that he had at hand an offer of
$500. from Mr. Harry T. Flinn for the purchase of property known as
Block 111 , Parcel 89, on which the Town has an easement. He said
that in his opinion the offer was too low. In view of the fact that
we are going to offer for sale , through advertising in the local paper,
that in his opinion we should advertise this parcel along with another
parcel on which he received an offer.
The Supervisor stated that he had received an offer from
Mrs. Thomas Doyle in the amount of $200 to purchase the lot adjoin-
ing 69 Myrtle Boulevard together with the lot next to it in the east.
He suggested that inasmuch as Mr. Leigh had appeared earlier
in the meeting and was interested in one of these lots which is in
the rear of his property that this should be included in the adver-
tisement.
It was agreed by the members of the Board that this be done.

Mr. Henry E. .Tendes, Chairman

Dear Mr. Mendes:
To clarify the position of the Westchester County War
Council , and to dispel any further rumors causing confusion
in continuation of War Council activities , we wish to state
that the Westchester County War Council will continue to
serve the needs of the County under the War Emergency Act
of New York State.
Although certain duties of the Office of Civilian Protection
have been terminated by directives issued by Guthrie Shaw,
Deputy Director of Civilian Protection , on May 15, these
in no way affect the civilian services rendered by the
Westchester County War Council.
We , urge , therefore , every Local War Council to continue
its functions and duties in problems growing out of present
war needs.
