Comptroller filed with the town on September 21st, 1932. The letter
suggested that the Town issue a certificate of indebtedness in payment
of this claim and that provision for the payment of this certificate
be made in the 1934 budget. The claim had already been approved by
the Board of Auditors at a meeting on December 27th, 1933.

new fire companies recently constituted by the Weaver Street Fire
Company at the rate of $40q,00 per company. These fees were paid by

Mr. Gamble said, were being rendered for the first time. He stated
he was willing to take payment in the form of certificates of indebted-
ness to mature in the years 1935, 1936 and 1937 or some similar arrange-
ment. Upon motion by Justice Leeds, seconded by Justice Burbank, it
was upon roll call unanimously

Counselor Gamble advised the Board that the garbage contracts
recently entered into between the new Contractors and the Town of
Mamaroneck contained a cancellation clause whereby the contracts 'eould
be terminated before the end of two years, on certain conditions. He
suggested that the contracts could be further amended so as to permit
the Bonding Companies to cancel the performance bonds on the same terms
as the contracts themselves might be cancelled in case such action
should be necessary.
Upon motion duly made and seconded Counselor Gamble was duly
authorized to amend the garbage contracts in accordance with his suggestion
as above outlined.
