Lianss of 37 Bonnie Briar Lane , in which she stated that she was the
originator of the idea of requesting the erection of the shelter and
that through her friends and neighbors had obtained the signatures on
the petition filed with the Town Board. She said that the residents
wished to thank the members of the Town Board for their cooperation and.
at the same tune wished to apologize for the fact that they asked for
something which aroused unpleasant publicity. She informed the Board
that the petitioners had decided to let the matter drop .
Foilowing some discussion the Board ordered the letters re-
ceived and filed.
A letter dated February', 3, 1943, was received from Jerome
A' . Barry, Cormrander of the local observation tower of the Aircraft
GJarning Service, referring to earlier correspondence in connection
with a request for an appropriation to cover expenses at the post. He
advised that the 'Town of Harrison'. the Villages of Larchmont and Mama-
roneck had already made their appropriations .
The Supervisor stated that he thought that it vvas in the same
category as the rationing board.
Councilman Mandeville stated that he was in favor of an ap-
propriation and added that he did not think that as a body the Town
Board should sit aside while other communities are carrying the burden.
He recomaended that $100 covering, the Town' s share for 1942 and 630
representing an amount for the first six weeks of 1943 at the rate of
$5 per week be allowed out of the', item for civilian protection services
so as to pay up arrears .
After further discussion the following motion offered by
Councilman Mandeville and seconded by Councilman Griffin, was upon roll
call unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS. the form Board'' of the 'Town of Mamaroneck
has considered the recuest of Jerome A. Barry
M
Commander of the local observation tower, and
in view of the vital im-oortance of maintaining
an aircraft warning service for the protection
of life and property-, also the fact that the sur-
rounding communities, for which the observation
post is rendering its services, have made their
proportionate appropriation, and that the 'Town of
Mamaroneck is within the area served and mentioned to
pay its share towards this war emergency measure;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the 'Town of Mamaroneck appropriate
out of its budget item of 1943 for civilian protection
services the sum of $100 to pay in full the 'Town' s
contribution towards the expenses of Ground Observa-
tion Post Ile . 559a for the year 1942, further that
the sum of 430 be appropriated out of the same budget
to represent the Town's contribution to the Observa-
tion Post for expenses or the first six weeks of 1943
at the rate of $5 per week.
The Town Clerk reported that Mrs . P . D, Wesson, an officer
of the Town of Mamaroneck Adult activities and Recreation Council had
stopped at the Town Offices and handed in an estimate for supplies and
equipment, which estimate was addressed to Mrs . H. J. Brewer, Chairman
of the Council, and that she had advised the Town Clerk that ➢Mrs . Brewer
had referred the matter to her. The estimate was referred to the Super-
visor .
A letter dated February, 1943, was received from Lt. Com-
iia'rder 'Thos . C. Jaleski of the United States Navy, requesting that due
to his reduced income that the taxes be reduced on his residence at
126 N. Chatsworth Avenue, Town. The letter was referred to the Tovm
Attorney.
The 'Town Clerk reported ',that the Association of Towns was pre-
paring a scroll to be presented to the former Secretary of the Associa-
tion, Mr . Frank C. Moore, now Comptroller of the State. A form was
passed to the members of the Board for their signatures .
The 'Town Clerk reported that at the time that the last elec-
Lion maps were printed an extra supply of plain maps were ordered for
distribution to the public at cost and that during the year there had
been a large demand from several of the departments of the Town, the
schools and organizations for the maps for planning civilian protection.
He stated that a, record had been kept of those handed out for this pur-
pose and a charge could be made for them but that he thought that maps
for this use should be given without charge as their use mould benefit
the full community. He requested permission to mark the record of
these maps "exempt', from fees . "
It was on motion by Councilman Griffin, seconded. by Council-
man Mandevilie, upon roll call, unanimously
RESOLVED, that the Town clerk be authorized to
mark his record of maps given out for the use
of Town departments, the schools and organiza-
tions for planning of civilian protection "exempt
from fees' .
The report of the Receiver of Taxes for the month of January
1943, was ordered received and filed
The report of the Comptrollers Department of claims audited
and paid by the 'Town from January 20, 1943 to February 3, 1943 was
ordered received and filed.
A report dated January 25, 1943, was received from the County
Transrortation Company, Inc. pursuant to the 25th Paragraph of the
Consent granted by the Town. A check in the amount of $318 .34 made to
the Town of Mamaroneck accompanied the report.
Mr. Orson A. Raynor appeared before the Board to inquire if
the Town had any ordinance controlling taxicab rates . He said that
during present conditions with gasoline rationing causing the limited
use of private cars and the increased use of taxi service, it seemed
reasonable to expect that there should be some regulation of rates . He
referred to two instances in which he said he thought that the passengers
were overcharged. One was a trip a client from Mr . Ravnor from his home on
Edgewood Avenue, Town, to Webster Avenue, New Rochelle, the charge being
$1. 50, the other being a trio made by Mr. Raynor from his home to Larch-
mont manor, the charge being 75 cents . He said that the meter charge
from New Rochelle in a taxi from that city to Larchmont was 70 cents and
that he could not see why it cost double to use a Larchmont cab to New
Rochelle . He also referred to the New York City rates .
Councilman Mandeville asked if Mr. Raynor thought he could
compare the New York City rates with rates in this area. He said that
he was sure that the taxi men had set up a basic rate of 35 cents to any
point in the unincorporated area and that after 8 P. M. the rate is
changed.
It was pointed out that the municipality can not control the
rates outside of its boundaries .
Mr. Raynor stated that passengers were picked up in the
unincorporated area and that he taht that the Town could compel the
taxi men to instal meters and abide by definite rates .
Councilman Griffin stated that they could not get meters at
this time and that it is a bad time to try to enforce such an ordinance .
Mr. Raynor stated that something should be dome.
Councilman Keeler related to an experience which occurred a
few years back and stated that at the time there was nothing that he
could do about it.
Attorney Delius advised that he would look into the law and
report back.
Councilman Mandeville stated that he thought that the Town
was fortunate in having good cabs with good drivers and reasonable rates .
Councilman Griffin stated that he had asked Mr. DeVinne to
attend the meeting and give his views as to whether or not the proposed
cash relief plan: would work to to the advantage of the 'Town.
Mr. DeVinne stated that it is the most economical and most
equitable plan and. that in this day and age when boys are in the armed
services their checks for dependents do not cover the complete needs
of the de-pendents and that the cash plan would riot shove up
dents as receiving welfare aid. He said that with the cash they could
establish themselves in the community. He said that he expected that
cases would increase when the department will be called upon to supple-
meat the government allowance and that he thought that the plan would
not alone help to make the recipient feel self-supporting but it would
also cut down the clerical work in the welfare office and in the comp
troller' s office. He explained the present system whereby the claims
are first audited in the welfare office and then again in the Town
comptrollers office before the check is paid. He stated that with the
proposed system he would plan to give the checks out twice a month. He
invited the members of the Board to pay a visit to his office to see the
systera which is now in use.
Councilman Keeler asked, what the members of the Board wished
to do with the proposition.
Councilman Griffin stated that Mr. DeVinne had indicated
that he favored the plan. He asked Hr. DeVinne if he thought that
$4, 000 would be a sufficient amount to start the system.
Mr . DeVinne stated that he thought so, as the fund would be
a sort of revolving fund. He explained that at present the State re-
funds are received within about ninety days and that with the new sy-
stem the refunds could be returned within about thirty days . He
started that tliere may be some objection to the cash plan from the land-
lords as they will say that the recipient v,could spend the cash and not
pay the rent. He said. that he felt that the 'TOG'Fn has been a good rent
collector for the landlords for a ! good many years and that it was about
time that they took care of their ',own affairs .
Councilman iviandeville asked if there was any way in which the
rent money could be turned over to the tax receiver to pay up tax arrears .
He said that he was in favor of tlie plan with the exception of that part
which concerned rents . He said that he believed that there would be
some difficulty in seeing to it that rents were paid.
a'4r . DeVinne explained that the people would receive a budget
with the check so that there ,could be a complete understanding as to
the expenditures, also that his department would ask for receipts .
Councilman Mandeville stated that he believed that if some-
thing was not done, the agent would wind up in Ir. DeVinne' s office
aaskine for the rent.
The Supervisor asked about the gas and electricity bills .
Mr. DeVinne stated that the department would ask to see
them
Mr . DeVinne advised the Board that it would take about six
or eight months to get the system going.
Councilman Griffin stated that he would be inclined to go
into the plan.
Mr . DeVinne advised that the experience of the County has
been very good.
During discussion it was agreed that rents would be a prob-
iem and it was decided on motion by Councilman Beeler, seconded by
Councilman Griffin that Welfare Officer DeVinne be authorized to draft
a plan which would be adaptable to the Tom of lilamaroneck and to pre- .
sent same at a later meeting.

Councilman Griffin stated that there was nothing to report
for the Park Department other than that they had been without a clerk
since Paliss Toomey left the service of the Town. He said that they
were waiting for the other departments to decide upon filling the posi-
tion.
Councilman Griffin presented a petition received from the
Assessor for the correction of the assessment roll so as to permit

of protecting the To .n with insurance by adding the truck to the list
in the non-ownership policy. He said that there was nothing to report
for the Fire Department .
