On motion made by Councilman Stiner , seconded by Council-
man Keeler , it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that the Town Attorney is hereby instructed
to enter into a stipulation with Larchmont Estates , Inc. ,
providing that the answer to the complaint , which has
been filed , be withdrawn, that the foreclosure proceeding
proceed to judgment in the usual way but that no further
proceedings be taken and that the publication of the
referee ' s notice of sale be postponed until Bray 30, 1944,
and if, at the time , the sum of $7, 500 is paid. by Larch-
mont Estates , Inc. in accordance with its offer now made ,
the foreclosure proceeding shall be settled and discon-
tinued without costs and that otherwise , the property
be sold in adcordance with the judgment of foreclosure
and sale.
The Supervisor asked if any of the members of the Board
wished to offer their reports.
Councilman Stiner reported that it would be necessary to
obtain the consent of the mortgagee on the property of Robert P.
Guthrie on Forest Avenue , to install the buttress to the retaining
wall supporting the road-bed of Forest Avenue. He added that the
Highway Department was doing the work which would require about
$100.00 for poured concrete and that it was a very necessary oper-
ation. The members of the Board agreed that it should be done.
Councilman Griffin reported on a letter which was referred
to him at the last meeting concerning the Larchmont Public Library ,
and following some discussion the Town Clerk was directed to advise
Pfayor Goeckler that the Town Board could find no way to increase the
Town' s contribution to the Larchmont Public Library.
Councilman Keeler discussed with the members of the Board
ways and means of providing for the duplication of assessment records
and following some study it was decided that the work could be done
at very low cost and that it could be considered out of the budget
for the Department of Assessor after the 1944 budget had been approved.
The Supervisor suggested that the Board proceed to consider
the Preliminary budget for 1944.
The Board prepared the followinl- itemized statement in
writing of the estimated revenues and expenditures of the Town for
the fiscal year commencing January 1, 1944 , which statement is knorn
as the Annual Estimate :
