This joint meeting was called for the _purpose of taking,
unified action on the bus situation as it effects the three
municipalities represented.
Supervisor George W. Burton was designated as Chairman
of the meeting and Village Clerk Fred T. Wilson was designated as
Clerk of the meeting.
The meeting was opened by Supervisor Burton for the
discussion as to the passing on consents to theTestchester Street
Transportation Co. , Inc. , by the Towns of ;:1amaroreck and Harrison
and the 14. Y. E. Stanford Railway Co. by the Village of . ama-roneck.
It was pointed out that the form of consent near submitted
by the 'destchester Street Transportation Co. , Inc. , to the three
municipalities was entirely different than the one outlined at
the several conferences with the Street Transportation Co. , si=e
it now included the operation of trackless trolleys and that the
term of the consent had been charged to the full term of the fran-
chise.
It was also pointed out that the only resolution 110-ff
before the Village Board of Trustees is the one from the ';. Y. &
Stamford Railway Co. , regarding a lap-over zone between ±kx I.rew
Rochelle and G'eaver Street in the Town of !�amaroneck whereby tine one
company would operate direct into 1Gew Rochelle.
It was apparent from the discussion that no definite
decision nor final action on a G s
permanent consent could result
from this joint meeting as the situation stands at the present
time.

Supervisor Burton of the Town of L"amarcna=ck stated that
"it has always beer, the attitude of the ` own of Zamaroneck that
they would permit the Ties-tchester Street Transportation Co. , --no. ,
to go ahead and operate buses and leave the thing just as it is $
that the 'Town of uamaroneck would not stop them. "
Clerk Idilson then asked Supervisor 'Taylor if this attitude
had also been taken by the Town of Harrison. Supervisor Taylor
stated that the Town of Harrison, undoubtedly, would riot stand in
the way of transportation direct :between uamaroneck and "'VI Plains
provided: that the _4estchester Company would guarantee that they
will maintain the I`-north Avenue line in Harrison..
