coal at the `+reaves Street Fire House be referred
to a special committee to be appointed by the
Supervisor and to report back to this Board its

The Supervisor thereupon appointed to this committee:
Justices Ifessersmith, Leeds and Burbank.
A communication dated January 15th from Mrs. Winona V. Titman
requesting permission to use the fire house for a dancing class, was
received and referred to the Fire House Committee above appointed. This
committee was by resolution, likewise directed to recommend rules and
regulations for the general use of the Fire House.
Justice Burbank submitted, for the information of the Board,
a survey by Edward J. Gorman, a resident of the town and an officer of
the 7mployers Liability Assurance Corporation, the subject of surety
bonds, town depositaries, and legal decisions covering same.
The Board examined the survey and by resolution thanked Iir.
Gorman for his helpful attitude and cooperation.
Counsel reported on the request of the Board of Assessors
heretofore made authorizing cancellation of a tax on the Bose
property, which was heretofore referred to him. He stated that he
had conferred with the Board of Assessors on this matter and
found the following state of facts: Lots Nos. 349 35, 36, 37 and 38
in Block 25 Section 6 on the Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck
were originally owned by one Gilamo who built two houses on the five
lots. Gilamo then divided the property by a line crosswise through
the same and sold half of each of the five lots, each having a house
thereon, one half to Fritz Bose, which was the western: portions and
he sold the eastern portions to J. J. Bower. The Assessors have
discovered through a recent tax search that due to the complicated
transfer which was made the owners and the lots were errorecusly
reversed on the Assessment Roll. Bose paid taxes each year erroneously
on the wrong lots. Bower had a tax search made when he purchased hia
property, which report showed no tax open as they had been previously
paid by Bose. The Assessors feel, therefore, that it is unequitable
to ask i,,tr. Bose to pay the tax a second time on said parcels for the
year 1927 when he has already paid said tax, which through no fault
of his was credited to the wrong parcel. They recommend, therefore,
that the tax for the 1927 in the amount of $178.65 be cancelled.
