158 West Boston Post Road
Mamaroneck, New York
Dear Mr Mandeville:
We understand that you are now , or shortly will , engage in
the preparation of the budget for the Town of Mamaroneck for
the year 1946. I am writing you as Commander and for our
Executive Committee.
We have received a modest allowance in the paste This does
not begin to cover our costs , especially this year because
of the return of great numbers of our boys from the Armed
Forces to our Town, The Victorious conclusion of the
European phase of our War has increased our work. We ask
for more substantial consideration in your Budget in order
that we may discharge in the name of the Torun, the obligations
of our Community to the returning Veterans.
we have expended several thousand dollars of our own funds to
provide fit facilities in our own Club , as a gathering place
and meeting place for social activities of interest to the
returned Veterans. Also we hpve arranged and carried out a
series of parties to returned wounded soldiers . This activity
goes on. Some of the members of your Honorable Board have
seen our work„
we have in mind a series of ;Welcome Home Parties to our own
Larchmont Veterans on a good scale giving expression to the
Community thought that we are glad to see the bons home. Some
are home for good and being discharged , others are merely
spending the duration of their furloughs with us befowe pre-
paration for combat duty in the Pacific .
We feel it fair to ask the Town for $1 ,000.00 as its partial
contribution, to our cost of doing this work. This in the last
analysis is a Community-wide Job in which we ask you to join
--
us.
Very truly yours ,
/signed/ H.B. Zeigr , Commander
American Legion
