The Fire Chief stated to the Board that both he and the Fire
Council were exercised over the annual rental price of $65.00 per hydrant
paid by the Fire District to the Westchester Joint Water Works No. 1. The
special committee appointed by the Fire Department each year to examine
all hydrants in the Fire District, he reported, had completed its examina-
tion and found that thirteen hydrants contained foreign substances which
would handicap the department in the event that the hydrants had to be used
for extinguishing purposes. He displayed to the Board three objects taken
from these hydrants, namely, a tennis ball, a golf ball and a large stone .
He requested that the Fire Department be relieved of the duty of inspecting
the hydrants and that this task be taken over by the Westchester Joint
Water Works No. 1 and that the inspections be made every six months instead
of every year. The Supervisor stated that he would take this matter up with
the Water Board.
The Town Attorney stated that it would be in order for the
--- Board to authorize the sale of certain bonds, the issuance of which was
heretofore approved of. He informed the Board that no objection had been
filed to the resolution adopted by the Town Board on August 12, 1936,
appropriating the sum of $45,000.00 to pay the Town' s share of the cost of
highway rights-of-way and authorizing the issuance of bonds for said pur-
pose, which resolution was subject to a permissive referendum. He recom-
mended that the two issues which the Board desired to sell be sold at the
same time.

The Town Attorney reported to the Board concerning the proposed
installation of a sewer and drain to serve the Sackett Circle area. He
said that the Town Law as amended permits a town to installs sewer line
only in a street; that Sackett Circle has never been accepted by the
Town as a street; that the Town cannot accept as a street any highway
less than three rods in width; that the owners of property on both sides
of Sackett Circle appear to be willing to dedicate to the Town the land
necessary to make this street three rods wide; but that upon their so
doing three of the houses now built along Sackett Circle are thereby
brought within less than 30 feet of the street line and hence would be
in violation of the zoning ordinance which requires that all Houses in
Class A (Residential) zoning districts be at least 30 feet from the street
line. He recommended that the Town Board request the Board of Appeals
(for Zoning) to grant variances to the owners of these three houses.
On motion duly made and seconded it was unanimously
RESOLVED that the Town Board recommends to the Board
of Appeals (for Zoning) that in view of the state of
facts above set forth variances be granted to the
three houses on Sackett Circle which would be in
violation of the zoning ordinance of the Town by reason
of the increase in width of said Sackett Circle.
The Town Attorney reported that he had received a request from
the New Rochelle Trust Company for the cancellation of the tax for the
year 1928 on property described as Section 9, Block 93, Lot 18. This
request, he stated, was based on the fact that for the years 1929 to
1936 inclusive this property was also described as Section 9, Block 94,
Lots L. M and N; that the taxes for the years 1929 to 1932 inclusive had
been paid twice on this lot, once under each description; that the taxes
on this lot for the years 1933 to 1936 inclusive, which were unpaid, had
been cancelled by the Town Board at its meeting on April 15, 1936, because
of this double assessment. The Trust Company accordingly requested that
the taxes on this property for the year 1928 be cancelled by way of com-
pensation or off-set to the double payment made during the years 1929 to
1932 inclusive.
On motion by Mr. Bates, seconded by Mr. Brennan, it was
unanimously
RESOLVED that since it is the obligation of the taxpayer
to make sure that he is paying the correct taxes on his
property, the fact that taxes on a certain piece of
property were paid twice does not impose upon the
Town any obligation to cancel another tax as an off-set
or compensation for the double payment; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED that the request of the New Rochelle
Trust Company, as above set forth, for the cancellation
_J of taxes for the- year 1928 on property known as Section 9,
Block 93, Lot 18, be and it hereby is denied.
The Clerk stated that pursuant to public notice duly given as
directed by the Board at its meeting on September 1, 1936, it would be
in order for the Board to open the proposals which had been received for
removing the glass, steel and iron work from the former Town sewage dis-
posal plant located near Palmer Avenue and 'leaver Street. The Clerk
thereupon opened the three proposals which he had received, which proposals
were from John Moll, Weaver Street, Larchmont; Henry Gironda of Mamaroneck
and Theodore Anderson of Mamaroneck.

celebration of the Town of North Castle, New York, inviting the Town of
Mamaroneck to enter a float in the parade to be held on October 12, 19361

A letter dated September 9, 1936, was received from Miss Augusta
White, 2 Shadow Lane, Larchmont, requesting that additional time be given
to her to pay certain taxes for years prior to 1916 without interest. At
its meeting on April 15, 1936, the Town Board granted her thirty days in
