Mr . William F, ,Edwards of the Committee of Parks presented the
following report which was ordered spread upon the minutes :
January 30, 1924,
Honorable Town Board,
Town of Mamaroneck,
Mamaroneck, N.Y.
Gentlemen:
The Committee which you appointed in June, 1943, immediately
met , organized and went to work on the proposition Sl?hich you olutlined
for them to work upon, namely, plans whereby a park might be obtained
around the New York, New Haven and Hartford Pa.ilroad Station at Larchmont.
The Committee has met frequently and has gone very thoroughly
into the whole m,r+ter , and hereby respectfully offers the following
suggestion for your consideration, namely, that an enabling act be ob.-
twined from the State, giving authority for the creation of a Park
District within the limits of the unincor- orated, section of any town,
the town having an assessed valuation of 25,000,000.0o or more, in any
county having '35o,000 population or more, -adjoining a. city of the first-
class having a population of 1,000.000 or mtrxe, a3ainst which Park 7is®
trict bonds may be issued, and also giving authority for the creation
of a Park Commission by the Town Board, the said proposed Commission
to consist of three property owners within the Park district, the ma.j®
Ority of which Commission could, at any time, at duly called meetings ,
conduct any necessary business; these Commissioners to be appointed by
the Town Board for a term of one, two or three years respectively, to
be determined by the TOWn Board, when they are making appointments , or
to be appointed by the Town Board at the pleasure of the BO rd.These
said Commissioners to serve without pay, or as the Town Board may
determine.
The Powers vested in the Park Commission being to establish
boundaries of the Pork ristricty to acquire by purchase, deed, bequest
Or condemnation; construct, operate and. maintain park, parks, and park-
ways , and to provide for the cost of said acquisition, construction,
operatiOn Rand maintenance of the park, parks and parlmays; and to re-
commend plans for the bond issue for financing this expense.
Y e further suggest that the Enabling Act enable the Town Boar d
to issue bonds for this financing, to run for a period not exceeding
50 years, and further enabling the Town Board to borrow in anticipation
of any necessary bond issue, through Certificates of Indebtedness,
-- amounts to cover necessary legal or engineering fees or other fees and
expenses necessary to the amquiring and construction of the park, parks
and parkways and maintain,ance thereof.
We further suggest that, after the Enabling Act has been ob-
tained from the State, that it be submitted to a vote of the taxpayers living within the territory of the unincorpOTated section of the Town,
which is planned for the Pa-7k 7istri.ct , or that it go into effect
through a petition signed by taxpayers within the srid district repre -
senting property in excess of 50% of the assessed, valuation thereof.
We attach herewith the drift of an act which we suggest for
Your consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) Charles M. Baxter,
Tenimore C. Goode,
Tm. Tranklin EdIwards
