The report of the Town Clerk for the month of April and the
report of Mamaroneck Health Center, Inc. for the month of April were
received and filed.
The Supervisor suggested that the regular order of business
be suspended in order to hold the public hearing called at the last
meeting of the Board to consider the application of the Scarsdale Bus
Company for the consent of the Town of lulamaroneck to operate a bus
line on the small portion of Palmer Avenue lying between the boundary
lines of the-Village of Larchmont and the City of New Rochelle .
at the corner of Beach Avenue and Helena Avenue, Larchmont, was received
Me
The Town Clerk presented the affidavit of publication of the
notice of the public hearing published in T'The Daily Times" on May 7,
1943.
After Town Attorney Delius informed the Board that in accord-
ance with the decision of the Board at their last meeting it would be
in order, after comments had been made, for them to consider at the
same time the applications of the Scarsdale Bus Company and the County
Transportation Company, Inc., a decision on the latter having been de-
ferred for thirty days at the meeting of April 21, 1943, the Supervisor
inquired if there was any one present who wished to address the Board
concerning this matter.
Warren Wells, attorney, appearing on behalf of the Scarsdale
Bus Company, reported that since the meeting of the Town Board on
April 21, 1943, the Village of Larchmont had granted consent to the
Scarsdale Bus Company and the Country Transportation Company to operate
on Palmer Avenue, depending upon whichever company the Public Service
Commission would permit to operate this bus line.
Frank J. Zwick, attorney for County Transportation Company,
Inc . , stated that he wished to protest the hearing and the granting of
the consent to the Scarsdale Bus Company. He stressed the fact that
the County Transportation Company has been rendering service to the com-
munity for many years, that it has done all within its power to serve
the Town, that it has been a taxpayer and that it seemed unfair to give
the Scarsdale Bus Company, a newcomer to the community, the authority
to go into the territory of the County Transportation Company.
Councilman Griffin stated that inasmuch as the Country Trans-
portation Company has given the Town good service and the Scarsdale
Bus Company was granted a consent last year, he mould be in favor of
granting them both permission to ,operate along this route. He said
that it was important to give the people the service and that there
was only a small piece of the Town through which the route would pass .
Councilman Embury agreed with Mr. Griffin and said that he
!thought the Public Service Commission should decide which company
should have the franchise.
It was reported that Councilman Keeler had informed the mem-
bers of the Board that he favored granting the consent to both com-
panies and Councilman Stiner also concurred in this suggestion.
The Supervisor asked if there were any other comments .
There being none he declared the hearing closed and the re-
gular order of business was resumed.
The Supervisor stated that it was in order for a decision
to be made on the applications.
The following resolution was upon motion by Councilman Embury-,
seconded by Councilman Stiner, unanimously adopted:

and Garrison R. Corwin, doing business as Scarsdale
Bus Company, hereinafter referred to as Scarsdale

and other connections between the subscriber' s building and the pole,

at the hearing ordered by the Town Board, but pending the decision in
the Syracuse case by the Court of Appeals, would reserve their rights
by filing with the Board of Review, in June, an application for revision',
claiming that the assessment is illegal, unless prior to the time fixed
by law for the filing of such application, the Court of Appeals renders
its opinion in favor of the municipality' s contentions .

The Board thereupon resumed the regular order of business.
Councilman Griffin presented a "Plan for Cash Relief in the

by Public Welfare Officer DeVinne'. He said that he and Iuir. DeVinne
favored the plan and that it would require only $1,500 to $2,000 to try
the plan because of the present love case load. He explained many of
the reasons why the plan would be! more effective than the voucher system.
The Supervisor reported that Councilman Keeler had studied
the plan carefully and approves of it.
On motion by Councilman Griffin, seconded by Councilman
Stiner, the following resolution was upon roll call unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS the Public Welfare Officer has submitted
a "Plan for Cash Relief in the Public Welfare
Office of the Town of Mamaroneck", dated May 13th,

WHEREAS by amendments to the Social Welfare Law
and the Town Law made by Chapter 518 of the Laws
of 1943, the Legislature has authorized payment of
home relief in cash and the issuance of individual
checks to persons entitled to such relief who are
certified by the Public Welfare Officer,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED that the plan of the Public Welfare Officer
for cash relief is approved by this Board.
FURTHER RESOLVED that the Supervisor shall, without

of the Laws of 1943 .
Councilman Griffin presented the resignation of Dorothy

On motion by Councilman Griffin, seconded by Councilman
Embury, it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that the resignation of Dorothy DeBonis
of the Public Welfare Department, effective May 17,
1943, be and it hereby is accepted with regret.
Councilman Griffin presented the following statements which
were received and ordered filed: ) (1) Summary of Receipts and Disburse-
ments from January 1 to April 30, 1943; (2) Analysis of Budget Appro-
priations and Expenditures from January 1 to April 30, 1943; (3) Analy-
sis of Estimated Revenues from January 1 to April 30, 1943; (4) Claims
Audited and Paid by the Comptroller from May 5 to liay 19, 1943; (5)
Statement of Bank Balances at 9 A. M. May 19, 1943 .
In reviewing the bank balance statement Mr. Griffin recommended
that the 'W. P. A. account be closed and that all funds remaining in the
account be transferred to the capital fund.
M]
The Supervisor stated that he considered this very desirable
in view of Mr. Osborne' s long and faithful service.
After some discussion the matter was referred to counsel with
the recommendation that this be done if possible.
Councilman Stiner reported that he had attended a public hear-
ing held on May 16, 1943 at the County Center, White Plains, on the pro-
posed civil service rules for the classified service of the towns,
villages and special districts of the County of Nestchester. He said
that only a few were present at the hearing and that minor corrections
of the proposed rules were suggested. He explained that during the
hearing it was brought out that after the rules are adopted, changes
which are not contrary to the State Civil Service Law may be made after
a public hearing is held, but that any changes that are contrary to the
basic civil service regulations of the State would require an act of the
legislature.
In regard to drainage and sanitation matters Councilman
Stiner reported that he had toured the town with Mr. Foote and every-
thing seemed to be in good shape.
Supervisor Mandeville stated that the bond sale of the $50,000
refunding bonds had been held that morning and that it was very encourag-
ing to report that the bonds had been awarded to Halsey, Stuart & Co. ,
Inc. at 1.600 plus a premium of $70.50. He pointed out that the bond
issue had been reduced from the original budget figure of $60,000 to
$50,000 and that in addition to this saving of $10,000 in the bond issue,
by a re-adjustment of the maturities of the bonds, it had been possible
to save 34,000 in interest on the issue .
Councilman Embury stated that A. C. Allyn Company, a bonding
fire with whom he comes in contact frequently, has followed the finan-
cial condition of the Town since the days when it was near bankruptcy
and if the Town Board ever wants to hear a bonding firm speak of the
Town of Mamaroneck with entvsiasm, they should tlak with them.

The Town Attorney made a report upon the Scarsdale boundary
line situation, which is as follows:
Two bills were enacted at the last session of the Legisla-
ture, one, Chapter 654 of the Laws of 1943 which amends the Village
Law so as to provide that the boundaries of a village which is incor-
porated to embrace the entire territory of a town, shall be altered
or changed simultaneously with any change in the town boundary which
may be made by law, and the other, Chapter 669 of the Laws of 1943,
which is an act to alter, establish and confirm the dividing line
between the Town of Scarsdale and the Town of Mamaroneck. The first
of these bills became a law April 21st, 1943 and the second on April
22nd, 1943, and the result is that the boundary line along Griffen
Avenue has been changed so as to run along the center of this street
rather than to the south of it as was previously the case.
He called attention to a blue print of a map which was
prepared by- the Engineering Department of the Town of Scarsdale which
is entitled map of the boundary line between the Town of Scarsdale
and ilamaroneck, Westchester County, New York, December 2nd, 1941"
The tracing of this map was filed', with the Town Clerk on or about
February 24th, 1943 .
y?
He stated that the change in the boundary line was now com-
plete and recommended that change's be made in the Town's maps to show
the boundary line as fixed by the Legislature.
A letter dated May 19, 1943 was received from Fred H. Rubin,
attorney, concerning alleged fund's due his clients from former constable,
William J. Yarmy, novr in the United States Navy and serving overseas .
Following sicussion the 'Town Clerk was directed- to inform
Mr . Rubin that Mr. Yarmy was no longer the Town constable and that his
letter was brought before the Board and the Board under the circumstances
is in no position to act.
At 10:40 P . M. the Board unanimously resolved to adjourn
rk
