TOWN OF MAMARONECK, N. Y.
HELD JUNE 33 1936
At the Town Offices, 158 west Boston Post Road, Mamaroneck, N. Y.
The meeting was called to order by Supervisor McCulloch at
8: 30 P. M.
Present: Supervisor McCulloch
Councilmen, Bates, Brennan, Griffin, Meginniss
The presence was also noted of Town Clerk Marvin, Town Attorney
Delius and Town Engineer Foote.
The minutes of the meeting of May 20, 1936, were approved as
printed.
A report dated May 27, 1936, was received from Public Welfare
Officer DeVinne concerning medical claims in the total amount of x¢132.00
supplied to two residents of the Town without the authorization of the
Welfare Office, which matter had been referred back to him for further
information at the meeting on May 6, 1936. On the basis of his report
the Board unanimously denied the claims and referred the matter back to
Mr. DeVinne.
Mr. Brennan reported on the letter of Mr. Irwin, which had
been referred to the Town Engineer on May 6, claiming that the Town
had taken part of his land for public improvements without compensation
to him.
Mr. Brennan stated that the Town Engineer had requested
Mr. Irwin to have a re-survey of his property made by his own engineer.
The Clerk reported on the letter of Ethel Hirshman, request-
ing `some relief" on her taxes, which matter had been referred to him
on May 20, 1936. He stated that the total taxes open on Section 8,
Block 46, Lot 1, owned by her amounted to $819.19 exclusive of penalties,
and that this amount was considerably less than the assessed valuation
of the property. The Board unanimously denied her request for relief.
Mr. Bates reported that the drain at the northerly end of
Knollwood Drive had been completed at approximately two,®thirds of the
estimated cost.
Mr. Bates reported that as instructed by the Board he had
endeavored to ascertain the cost of an easement to relieve the surface
water drainage condition complained of by Mr. Alfred Eager of Valley
Road and that Mr. Archambault, owner of the property through which the
proposed drain might pass, asked 43,000 for the easement, a sum entirely
too high in the opinion of Mr. Bates.
Mr. Eager was present and stated to the Board that the trouble
was due to the action of the Town some years ago in blocking the then
existing drain. The Supervisor requested the Town Engineer to submit
to the Board a written report as to whose responsibility it was that
the present condition exists. He also requested Mr. Foote and Mr. Bates
to confer with Mr. Young, owner of property adjoining that of Mr.
Archambault, as to what his price would be for an easement through an
alternate route.
Mr. Griffin reported on welfare matters and called attention
to the fact that the case load in the month of May was 385 as against
479 cases in April.
Mr. Griffin submitted a report upon real property owned by
the Town as recently requested by the Supervisor. The report was
received and ordered entered in the minutes as follows:
T0: The Supervisor & the Town Board of Mamaroneck, New York
REPORT: Of a special committee requested to investigate certain
real estate owned by the Town, and advise in relation
to the possible sale or disposal of such as might not
be needed for the operation of the Town government
I have made this inspection, and beg to report as follows:
Section 1 Block 14 Lot 14 & 15
Opposite 10 & 16 Villa Road
(adjoining 19 Villa -Rd. on the East)
Area 50 x 115
Assessed value $2,000.00
Through this property, and along the side line, is a
10 foot pipe easement, to procure which the land was
evidently purchased. In my opinion, this land is avail-
able for building and it could be sold, subject to this
pipe easement, for from $1,200.00 to $11500.00
Section 1 Block 62, Lot 16 & 17
South East corner of Leafy Lane & Murray Ave.
Approximate area 35.53 x 100
Back line 49.16
Assessed value $1,000.00
There is a triangular piece belonging to Mrs. Stevens
which cuts off the frontage on Murray Avenue, down to
35 feet, which is a disadvantage. The land is covered
with rock, has a poor outlet in the rear, and might be
sold for about $500.00
Section 2, Block 14, Lot 1
North East corner of Sheldrake & Forest Aves.
Approximate area 23 x 57
Assessed value $500.00
i
This was originally purchased for a street. There
is not sufficient land to sell to anyone but abutting
property owner after negotiation:
Section 2, Block 16. Lot 12 & 13
On Forest Ave. opposite Sheldrake Ave.
Area 50 x 116
Assessed value $1,000.00
This was originally purchased for a street, and is
worth about $1, 000.00
Section 2 Block 16 Lot 42 & 43
On South side of Forest Ave. opposite -x-'740
Area 50 x 102
Assessed value $1, 000.00
This was on finally purchased for a street, and is
also worth about 1,000.00
Section 2, Block 26, Lot 25A
From center of Brook to East Brookside Drive
Approximate area 25 x 50
Assessed value $1,350.00
The brook abuts this property. In 1935, Mrs. Helen
Darling, who owns the adjoining property, expressed a
desire to purchase it, and it is not saleable unless it
could be sold to someone who merely wished to improve
the appearance of the property - to make a more pleasant
outlook from their own place. The property is too small
to erect a building upon it, and the matter of value could
only be ascertained through negotiation, and if the Town
decided to sell, as good as possible price gotten for it.
It is of no real value to the Town.
i
Section 2 Block 21 Lot 9
At Bridge and Briarcliff Road
Assessed value $800.00
The brook winds directly through the center of this
property, and it is not saleable, as the land on either
side of the brook is not sufficient for building any kind
of a structure on it. The land is not cared for in any
way, and is rather unsightly.
Section 6 Block 4, Lot 5 & 6
Rear of Chatsworth Coal Company' s gas station on Palmer Ave.
Approximate area 50 x 140
Assessed value 9$800.00
We recently had an offer of $75o.00 for these two lots
and this is part of the land which was talked about for the
Humane Society. Also, in addition to this there is a piece,
the exact dimensions of which I am unable to get, which
adjoins the pumping plant and land sold to the County, and
which is included in the parcel which the Humane Society
endeavored to procure. Through this plot there are 2
easements - one running along the railroad for Pinebrcok,
and the other along one side, for the sewer. A value cannot
be placed upon it, as it is a matter of negotiation, to get
the best price possible under the circumstances; and further-
more, I understand that there is some question in relation
to the title referring to both this and lots 5 & 6, although
I doubt if it has any merit in fact. The Town does not need
these parcels, and if possible, they should be sold.
Respectfully submitted,

the Fire Council dated June 1, 1936, reporting upon the selection by the
A
Council of a new patrol car as authorized by the Town Boar d on April 1,
1936. The report recommended the acceptance of the bid of the Mack -
international Motor Company at x$5, 983. The Fire Chief described to the
Board the painstaking efforts the Fire Council made in reaching its con-
clusion. He also submitted for the Board' s inspection a copy of the
minutes of the Council meeting at which the choice was made; a copy of the
snecificationsfor the car; bids of six fire engine manufacturers; results
of road tests held at various places with cars of the manufacturers and

The Supervisor stated that the Board would take up at its next
meeting the matter of making a decision on the application of Ivir. Morris
H. Petigor for a change in the zoning of property owned by him, which
i
matter was the subject of a public hearing held May 26, 1936.
Edward Ely Hoxie of Harmon Drive, Mamaroneck, addressed the
Board to present a letter dated May 30, 1936, and a sketch of a proposed
development of the Petigor property. The matter was laid over for the
next meeting to be considered in connection with the Petigor application.

$60,000 for materials, supplies and equipment for W. P. A. projects in

Mr. Meginniss thereupon opened the two bids which showed as
follows:
County Trust Company - 12/ interest per annum
First National Bank of Mount Vernon - 1% interest
per annum plus $11.00 premium.
On motion by Mr. Bates, seconded by Mr. Griffin, it was

Mount Vernon to purchase a x$20,000 Works Project Note
of the Town of Mamaroneck dated June 4, 1936, maturing
December 4, 1936, at the interest rate of 1% per annum
plus a premium of 311.00 be and it hereby is accepted.
TheP
Supervisor stated that it appeared that the sum of $1y ,000
u
would be required to pay for the cost of materials, etc. (not including
labor) on the W. P . A. project for the improvement of the Larchmont
Gardens Lake, which amount, he said, should be charged against Park Dis-
trict No. 1. The Board decided to take up the matter of issuing a
certificate in the amount of V$15,000 to pay this cost at the next meet-
ing and the Clerk was directed to request the members of the Board of
Park Commissioners of Park District No. 1 to be present at that time.
The Supervisor stated that it would be possible for the Town
to issue bonds to pay the cost of the Town' s share of certain permanent
public improvements which have been completed and have not yet been
bonded for. Among others, he cited the sum of $44,000 as part of the
Town' s share of the improvement of the Boston Post Road and the sum of
approximately $30,000 as the cost of extensions made to the Water Dis-
tribution System of the Town of Mamaroneck. He added that the County
had not yet notified the Town of the amount of the Town' s share of
certain further costs in connection with the improvement of the Boston
Post Road. He asked the Board to consider whether the Town should issue
bonds now for the known costs and issue bonds later when the additional
costs have been ascertained, or whether the Town should wait until later
and issue all of the bonds at one time. The Board decided to lay the
matter over until the next meeting.
The Town Attorney reported that the Town had not yet acquired
title to certain lands taken by the Town in connection with the con-
struction of County road No. 67-2 ( Palmer Avenue Extension) . He said
u _ _ 125
that at the time of the construction of this road the Town had obtained
consents from the reputed owners of the property to enter thereon for
the purpose of constructing the road; that subsequently evidence had
been produced indicating that the reputed owners might not be the owners
in fact and that probably condemnation proceedings would have to be
resorted to before the Town could obtain a clear title to the property.
Prior to any condemnation proceedings, however, he said, the Town should
make an offer to the reputed owners in an effort to purchase the property
without resorting to litigation. He said that at the time of the con-
- struction of the road the Town had obtained appraisals of the property
from competent real estate appraisers.
The Supervisor thereupon appointed a special committee con-
sisting of Mr. Griffin, Chairman, Mr. ffie g
examine the appraisals heretofore obtained by the Town and to recommend
to the Town 3oard what price the Town should offer to the reputed owners,
all in accordance with the provisions of Section 321-J of the Highway Law.
