Town in accordance with the plan which he followed in painting such
numbers several years ago. He stated that the work would be done by
local unemployed laborers, that no charge would be made for it and that
he would be compensated by soliciting contributions from such house-
holders as cared to make them. He expressly stated that there would
be no obligation on the part of the householders to contribute and that
he would hold the Town free and clear of all liability in connection
with the work.
On motion by Mr. Brennan, seconded by Mr. Meginniss,
(Mr. Bates not voting) , it was unanimously
RESOLVED, that permission is hereby granted to
Mr. C. S. McNulty to paint house numbers on the
curbs or other suitable place in front of every
house throughout the unincorporated section of
the Town and to solicit compensation for doing
the same from the house owners or occupants thereof
on the express condition that Mr. McNulty guarantee
to save the Town of Mamaroneck free from any and
all damages or claims arising from the granting of
this consent or from any work done thereunder and
on the further condition that this permission is
revokable at any time by the Town Board.
Mr. Brennan reported on highway matters. He stated that
Mr. Winant of the County Engineer' s Office and Highway Superintendent
Foote have approved plans and construction of the bridge constructed
over the east branch of Sheldrake River by Mr. John Baltz; that County
Engineer Sells has stated that it will be proper for the Town to
accept the offer of dedication of this bridge made by Mr. Baltz and
that the Highway Superintendent recommends that the Town take title to
this bridge.
On motion by Mr. Brennan, seconded by Mr. Bates, it was
unanimously
RESOLVED, that on the recommendations set forth
above, the Town hereby accepts the offer of
dedication of the bridge constructed over the
east branch of the Sheldrake River by Mr. John
Baltz, said bridge being described as follows:
a concrete deck bridge with wooden guard rails
14 feet clear span and 18 feet wide over the
east branch of the Sheldrake River in Valley
Stream Road, abutting lots 8 and 9 in block 432
on the map of Larchmont Gardens .
Mr. Brennan reported on the request of the Mamaroneck Chamber
of Commerce that Rockland Avenue be improved, which matter had been
referred to him at the previous meeting. He stated that he and Mr. Foote
had inspected the road and found it to be in good condition in need
only of minor repairs.
Mr. Brennan reported on the request of Mr. Sasse that the
sidewalk in front of his property at 34 Orchard Road be repaired, which
matter had been referred to him at the previous meeting. He stated
that Mr. Foote was taking care of the matter.
Mr. Brennan recommended that a street light be installed on
Dole No. 5 in the rear of IJtr. Wm. J. Mallin' s house on Lansdowne Drive
near Clover Street. The matter was laid over.
Mr. Brennan recommended that additional parking space be
obtained near the Larehmont railroad station and suggested that for
this purpose the Town lease from the New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad Company a plot about 51 x 110 feet lying between the rail-
road tracks and the garage on Vine Street easterly of the present
parking space, which plot would provide room for about twenty auto-
mobiles. He stated that he believed the present lease made by the
Town with the railroad company did not include this plot.
On motion by Mr. Bates, seconded by Mr. Brennan, it was
unanimously
RESOLVED, that the recommendation of Mr. Brennan
as above set forth be approved; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town Attorney be directed
to negotiate the lease for said property with the
New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company,
at a nominal cost, provided the property is not
covered by the present lease.
Mr. Brennan reported that several complaints had been re-
ceived from persons residing within the vicinity of the Weaver Street
Police Station concerning the sign which has been installed over the
police station, which sign states that the building is the Police
Station of the Town of Mamaroneck. The Supervisor presented a tele-
gram which he had received from Mae D. Wells, owner of property
located at 7 Edgewood Avenue, protesting against this sign. The Clerk
was directed to notify Mrs. Wells to get in touch with the Police
Commission.
Mr. Brennan reported that the Fire Department has prepared
a new schedule of fire alarm numbers arranged by zones, these numbers
referring to imaginary fire alarm boxes.
Mr. Griffin reported on welfare matters. He stated that
he had conferred with Welfare Officer DeVinne on the report made by
the state auditors of the Town Welfare Office, as reported at the
previous meeting of the Board and that there was nothing in the re-
port to cause concern to the Town Board. The report was thereupon
ordered received and filed.
Mr. Griffin reported on behalf of the special committee
consisting of Mr. Bates and himself to which had been referred with
power the matter of approving of application and license forms re-
quired by the new Town Ordinances. He stated that the committee had
approved these forms and had authorized publication of the ordinances
in an inexpensive form with the thought that next year provision
might be made in the budget for reprinting in more suitable form.
The Board discussed at some length the proposed new
Plumbing Code and directed the Town Attorney to insert a provision
for reciprocal recognition of the results of examinations given to
plumbers in the Villages of Larchmont and Mamaroneck.
Mr. Meginniss reported on finances. He stated that he had
received from the Town auditors a copy of their audit for the six
months ended December 31, 1936, but that the comments accompanying
the report have not yet been received.
Mr. Meginniss presented the Supervisor' s financial report
for the three months ending March 31, 1937. The report was ordered

Boston Post Road. The final determination of the amount to be paid
by the Town for these rights-of-way had only recently been made, he

The Town Attorney reported on the matter of the proposed
extension to Sewer District No. 1, which matter was heretofore consider
by the Board. He stated that the situation in respect to this proposed
extension of said Sewer District is now different from what it was when
the matter was first broached, by reason of the changes made in the law
regarding the payment of costs incurred in constructing trunk and later
al sewers. He said that Chapter 60 of the Laws of 1937 which became
effective March 15, 1937, authorizes the Town Board to assess all pro-
perty in Sewer District No. 1 ad valorem for the purpose of providing
for the payment of the amount due for principal and interest on bonds
issued in connection with Sewer District No. 1 and for the expense of
constructing trunk and lateral sewers in said district, which provision
are in lieu of the provisions contained in Sections 202, 202-a and 202-
of the Town Law which provide that the costs of sewer extensions as
finally ascertained be borne by local assessment upon the property bene
fited. He recommended that the Board authorize the circulation of the
necessary petitions to provide for the inclusion of the proposed ex-
tension of Sewer District No. 1 within said district.
On motion by Mr. Griffin, seconded by Mr. Bates, it was
unanimously
RESOLVED, that the matter of circulating the necessary
petitions for the proposed extension to Sewer District
No. 1 be and it hereby is referred to the Town Attorney
with power.
The Town Attorney recommended to the Board that the resolu-
tion adopted on October 21, 1936, be rescinded insofar as it provides
0
for the assessment of the cost of a certain sewer extension in Carleon
Avenue upon the property benefited and that the cost of said extension
be levied and assessed ad valorem upon all the property in Sewer
District No. 1, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 60 of the
Laws of 1937, as above described. He said that the extension in Carleo:
Avenue was the only one authorized by the Town Board in accordance with
Sections 202, 202-a and 202-b, which sections are now superseded by the
provisions of Chapter 60 of the Laws of 1937, and that it would be un-
just and inequitable to the owners of the property on Carleon Avenue
affected thereby to be the only property owners in Sewer District No. 1
subject to such special assessment.
On motion by Mr. Griffin, seconded by Mr. Bates, it was
upon roll call unanimously
RESOLVED, ilrHEREAS this Board heretofore by resolution
adopted October 14th, 1936, provided that a lateral sewer
should be constructed in Carleon Avenue for a distance of
100 feet from the present sewer manhole in Carleon Avenue,
easterly toward Weaver Street, which sewer has since been
constructed at a cost of approximately $700; and
WHEREAS such sewer extension was made pursuant to petition
signed by owners of property abutting upon said Carleon
Avenue as provided in Section 199 of the Town Law; and
WHEREAS this Board by resolution adopted October 21st,
1936, directed the Town Engineer to purchase materials
and employ labor necessary for the construction of said
sewer extension, such cost, when finally ascertained, to
be borne by local assessment upon the several lots and
parcels of land which the Board would thereafter determine
to be specifically benefited by the construction of such
lateral sewer extension and authorized the issuance and
sale of a certificate of indebtedness for the amount of
such cost, in anticipation of the collection of said assess-
ments, which said certificate is now held in the Special
Fund of Sewer District #1, in the sum of $700; and
WHEREAS the provisions of Chapter 60 of the Laws of 1937,
which became effective March 15th, 1937, authorize this
Board to assess all property in Sewer District #1, ad
valorem, for the purpose of providing for the payment of
the amount due for principal and interest on bonds issued
in connection with Sewer District #1 and for the expense
of constructing trunk and lateral sewers in said District,
which provisions are in lieu of the provisions contained
in Sections 202, 202-a and 202-b of the Town Law;
RESOLVED that the resolution heretofore adopted by this
Board on the 21st of October, 1936, is rescinded, insofar
as it provides for the assessment of the cost of said
sewer extension locally upon the several lots and parcels
benefited;
FURTHER RESOLVED that the cost of such sewer extension
and the amount heretofore borrowed in anticipation of
the collection of local assessments, be levied and
assessed upon the value of all property in Sewer
District #1, in accordance with the provisions of
Chapter 60 of the Laws of 1937.
The Town Attorney reported that the Wood Estate, owner of
property located along the Boston Post Road in the neighborhood of the
so-called Red Lion Inn, desired the installation of water mains in
part of its property in connection with the opening of a new road
through it. He said that the owners agreed to put up the money for the
cost of the construction of the main, provided they be reimbursed out
of the revenues received therefrom. In other words, he pointed out,
instead of the Town' s paying the cost of the main and collecting the
money from the water revenues, the estate would do so, thus saving
the Town this expense.
On motion by Mr. Brennan, seconded by Mr. Bates, it was
upon roll call unanimously
RESOLVED that the Supervisor be authorized to execute
an agreement with the Wood Estate providing for the
installation of water mains in property owned by said
estate lying along the Boston Post Road near the so-
called Red Lion Inn, on the condition that the estate
pay for the cost of the installation of these mains,
the estate to be reimbursed out of receipts therefrom.
The Town Attorney reported that the Westchester County Park
Commission desired the remission of interest and penalties on certain
unpaid taxes on property owned by the Commission. The matter was re-
ferred to the Supervisor.
The Town Attorney reported that a hearing would be held on
Monday, April 26, 1937, in the United States District Court, New Haven,
Conn. , before Judge Carroll C. Hincks in regard to the proposed abandon
ment of the New York, Westchester & Boston Railway. Mr. Meginniss was
authorized to represent the Town at this hearing for the purpose of
observing what takes place.
The Supervisor stated that in accordance with. the action to
by the Board at its last meeting and in accordance with public notice
duly given, it would be in order for the Board to receive bids for
furnishing summer uniforms for the Police Department. The Town Clerk
presented an affidavit of publication of a notice calling for bids,
which was ordered filed.

he thereupon opened. The bids showed as follows:

Chatsworth Gardens Valet
Sachs Bros.
- $636.80 ( sample submitted)
- 625:00 (sample submitted)
- 706.60 (no sample submitted)
On motion by Mr. Bates, seconded by Mr. Brennan, it was
upon roll call unanimously
RESOLVED, that the bid of Chatsworth Gardens Valet
as above set forth for furnishing summer uniforms
for the Police Department be and it hereby is
accepted and the contract awarded to them.
A letter dated April 21, 1937, was received from the Receiver

she be permitted to pay without interest and without the advertising
cost of 1.75 per lot a tax of 1905 in the amount of $.09 on each of

A letter dated March 26, 1937, addressed to the Supervisor
was received from Mr. Rufus K. Allerton on behalf of the Board of
Trustees of the Larchmont Public Library, inquiring whether the Town
would be willing to increase its contribution to the Larchmont Public
Library in the sum of approximately $200 per annum to pay part of the
cost to the library of allowing the employees of the library to join
the New York State Employees' Retirement System on a contributory
basis, thereby providing them with pensions. After discussion the
Clerk was directed to reply to Mr. Allerton that in the opinion of
the Board the employees of the Larchmont Public Library should be con
sidered as village employees and, therefore, the Town would have no
right to pay part of the cost of putting them in the State Employees'
Retirement System.

tive departmental budgets contain the necessary funds, the Comptrolle
