Here is the story of your Town . . . its form of govern- ment, the operation of its various departments, its history, growth, and cost of administration. All of the services provided by your government are specified and defined by law. These include such municipal services as are essential to the health, protection of life and property, and to the well-being of the Town as a whole. The quality and extent of the services provided are, in a large measure, determined by the property owners who are required to bear the costs. The Supervisor and Councilmen are aware of their responsibilities, and issue this report in order to give our residents such information as will enable them to evaluate the municipal service they receive. THE TOWN BOARD GEORGE D. BURCHELL, Supervisor C. BENJAMIN BRUSH, JR. CHRISTINE K. HELWIG PETER F. KANE, JR. BATTISTA J. SANTORO Councilmen page five A our history . . . Early in the 17th century, the Dutch sailed into this harbor, settling on the land occupied by the Siwanoy Indians and estab- lishing what is the oldest form of local government, the Town, which was retained by the British, who followed the Dutch, and finally adopted by the State as a subdivision of local government. History tells us that the tract of land we know as the Town of Mamaroneck was purchased from the Indians in 1661 by John Richbell, an English trader, and that historians themselves differ as to how it got its name, some interpreting "Mamaroneck" to mean "The place where the fresh water falls into the salt," and others claiming it came from an Indian Chief called "Mamaronock," who lived in Croton in 1644. The present boundaries of the Town were set in 1787 when the Town of Scarsdale withdrew under the newly adopted state law. Later, the state legislature granted permission to various sections of the Town to form villages as separate municipal governments in order to provide certain services not then provided by the Town. This left only an unincorporated area to be administered by the Town government, to which subsequently governmental powers were granted for provision of such services as the incorporated villages had obtained. However, the villages and the unincorporated area still constitute the Town as a political and governmental sub- division of the State. page six our location . . . The Town of Mamaroneck lies in Westchester County, on Long Island Sound, about 23 miles east of New York City. It comprises some 8.58 square miles and is made up of three municipalities, the boundaries of which are shown on the map below. �. , ----7 f � . / s/ / '�- / PART OF THE• ) -` /UNINCORPORAT ED OhIECK/ / • OF MaMaR TOWN /• / I .� 0� • / VILLA °. /� -�`1 AR ,J ECK • - MAM /, y1LLAGE \ I ARCNMONT )) 31 ..________ , , . ,_ ,y-iik____,. ..,,,,. LONG ISLAND SOUND page seven our government . . . The governing body of the Town is the Town Board comprised of the , - Supervisor, elected for a two-year A � 3" f'/ term, and four Councilmen, each elec- ;,d e ~ I "i to ted for a four-year term. 1 There is no administrative rela- tionship between the supervisor and / I the mayors of the villages but the 4( supervisor represents the two villages as well as the unincorporated area on the County Board of Super- visors. Some of the over-all cost of Town government is shared by all residents including those in the two villages. But the cost of certain services performed only for the residents of the unincorporated area such as sanitation, police and fire protection, highway main- tenance and street lighting, and park and sewer maintenance, is added to the tax bills of the residents of that area. Residents of the unincorporated area and the Village of Larchmont share the expense of the incinerator and the public library. The Larchmont Post Office serves all residents of the unincorporated area except those in the northeastern section of town. References are made to State, County, and School District gov- ernmental units. These agencies operate entirely apart from the Town and each has its own power to tax. Under the State Law, the Town has no jurisdiction over a School District, which is governed by a Board elected by the residents of that district and which is empowered to prepare its budget and set its tax rate, with the town functioning in each of these instances SOLELY as the agency for the collection of the said taxes. administrative offices 158 West Post Road,Mamaroneck Telephone OW 8-8300 According to the 1957 census, the total population of the 8.58 square miles com- prising the Town of Mamaroneck is 27,739 . -0 - y distributed in the three areas of the Town ar as follows: Unincorporated area (5.17 sq. mi.)-11,152 �°°��ii c Larchmont Village (1.08 sq. mi.)— 6,707 FT- *1 a,• 1 Mamaroneck Village (2.33 sq. mi.)— 9,880 ;: 1 r a,vo 9 (That portion within the Town) -emitishet All departments except the Legal, Police and Fire Departments are located in the Town Offices and all taxes are paid at this address. page eight personnel Town personnel numbers 99.

He attends all meetings of the Town Board and those of the various other boards and commissions as requested. The attorney prepares numerous legal memoranda, renders opinions on municipal statutes, conducts all law cases brought by the Town and defends the Town and any of its officers, boards or commissions in all suits or proceedings brought against it. He also acts as prosecutor in all criminal cases (misdemeanors) tried in the local courts. Whenever the need arises, the attorney attends numerous pub- lic hearings before the P.S.C. and I.C.C. in connection with railroad and other utility rate matters. the assessor The major source of the Town's income is the tax monies derived from assessing each parcel of land within the Town together with any improvement located on such land. Every property owner is directly affected by assessment valuation as it measures the taxpayers' contribution for the support of local, State, and County government and the public schools. page nine This year Town property is assessed for $111,233,241.00, an in- crease of $2,626,593.00 over last year. This is the tax base which, divided into the net budget, gives the tax rate. Information about property and its assessment is available to the public at any time in the Assessor's Office, where maps, field books, records of owner- ship, etc. are found. The tentative assessment roll is completed by the Assessor and filed with the clerk by June 1st. During the third week in June, a Board of Review, composed of 3 citizens appointed annually by the Town Board, sits to hear assessment complaints of residents. Following this and upon completion of final adjustments, the roll becomes official September 15th. the clerk The Town Clerk records ail vital sta- tistics, births and deaths, keeps the records of all Town Board meetings, and super- NYNTINO- MNI1R1 vises general elections. CEN(ES MGENSe5' He also issues all licenses for the Town including marriage licenses, dog licenses, hunting and fishing licenses, etc., and records all chattel mortgages and con- y'I;‘) 1 ditional bills of sale. page ten finances . . . The Supervisor is the chief fiscal officer and as such receives and disburses all funds of the Town of Mamaroneck. He is assisted by the Receiver of Taxes, a Comptroller, and an Accountant, who aid in the preparation of all financial statements and reports.

This year, in addition to the routine maintenance program, the department paved Winged Foot Drive and resurfaced Ormond Place. It also constructed the safety island at Town Square, fenced the parking lots, installed the meters therein and constructed a side- walk along said lots, installed a guide rail along Wood Street, in- stalled curbing on Harrison Drive and removed 600 feet of sidewalk along Harmon Drive, rebuilding the shoulder of the roadbed. t sanitation s The cost of collecting and disposing ofr the rubbish and refuse in the unincorporated ° 11 ("?ei area this year was approximately $35,000.00. Refuse is incinerated in the Incinerator, built in 1941 and operated by the Larchmont- Mamaroneck Joint Garbage Disposal Com .11 - mission. engineering This year, the Engineering Department prepared the plans and specifications for and supervised the construction of the parking lots at the station, the installation of the second section of the Horn- mocks drain, and the installation of a drain in Old White Plains page fifteen Ni. Road. In addition, plans and specifications were also prepared for paving Winged Foot Drive and Ormond Place, extending the drain at the entrance of the Town dump, installing a drain in Har- rison Drive, extending the sewer in York Road, and creating a new sewer district to serve the Prince Willows and Old White Plains Road area. Further, the department rendered such assistance as needed to the Zoning and Planning Boards, corrected the assessment maps, recorded the cubic content of new construction, and supervised three new subdivisions in the unincorporated area. sewer Sewage is disposed of through the Ma- maroneck Valley Sewer District. The funds elAh1411W expended, $3,200.00, were used solely for the maintenance of the more than 27 miles of lateral sewers which connect to the trunk lines of the Mamaroneck Valley Sewer Dis- trict. The reconstruction of the Murray Avenue sewer, which was begun in 1958, was completed this year. building and plumbing During 1959, 640 inspections were made and permits for new residences amounting to $1,439,000.00, and for additions and altera- tions amounting to $908,875.00, were issued by the Building and Plumbing Department. Fees in the amount of $3,209.00 were col- lected for new construction amounting to $2,347,875.00 and reflecting an increase of 116.8% over last year. page sixteen parks and playgrounds . . . 4/I t i �� Our Town is indeed fortunate in that it I " _' 4 � 0 is well on the way to enjoying once again its ,}� -�_� _ former fame for the beauty of its well-kept !i � ' parks. Already expressions of pleasure and - :`C 'bdelight have been voiced over the now par- tially and soon to be completely restored park at the station and the flower beds created in the islands at Chats- worth and Murray Avenues and Palmer Avenue and Weaver Street. Another spot of beauty soon to be seen is that area of Memorial Park which has been set aside to be planted as envisioned by the Garden Club of Larchmont and made possible through the Club's generous gift to the Town. Plans were made too this year, under the direction of the 3 member Park Commission, appointed by the Town Board, to restore those areas adjacent to the Thruway and damaged and despoiled by its construction. Hundreds of trees and shrubs are to be planted in Memorial Park, at the Gardens Lake and entrance, and along Harmon Drive so that upon completion of a heavy planting schedule on the Park Department's 1960 calendar, we shall all be able to enjoy our 13 acres of parks and our picturesque lake clothed in even greater than their past resplendent glory! And under the direction of another citizen member board of 5, also appointed by the Town Board and known as the Recreation Commission, the Superintendent of Recreation has had a busy but productive year. Great care was exercised in planning the year's program so that it would actually meet the expressed needs and desires of our community and yet not skyrocket beyond the com- munity's willingness to pay. The following table illustrates both the variety of activity and the level of participation in our recreation program: page seventeen PARTICIPATION CHART FOR 1959 Total Activity Sessions Enrollment Participation Playground program 35 854 13360 Pre-School play schools 35 74 2590 Sumer Music School 35 151 4900 Open House 10 3750 Saturday Basketball 9 224 1695 Intermediate Basketball 8 96 670 Golf Tournament 1 165 165 Senior Basketball . 23 80 1825 Softball 112 110 2240 Golf Clinic 8 53 424 Summer Jazz Concert 1 450 450 Bowling Tournament 2 70 204 Kicking & Passing Contest 1 40 40 Facilities Little League 54 5350 Picnics, etc. 12 2326 And certainly we cannot leave recreation without prideful men- tion of this year's inaugural of "The Fourth of July Committee", a committee composed of representatives from both the Town and Village of Larchmont and formed for the purpose of planning and directing a co-sponsored day-long program of activity at Flint Park in observance and commemoration of Independence Day in these two communities. page eighteen police Headquarters, 11 Edgewood Ave., Larchmont Tel. TE 4-2000 S In 1959 the Town expended $226,310.00 to '; maintain its Police Department.

I �� � of 35 auxiliary policemen. ---�-- The department operates 6 patrol cars and 3 motorcycles which last year traveled 187,730 miles. It made 2,104 arrests and investigated 795 complaints. There was $30,743.00 worth of property lost or stolen with some $12,695.00 worth recovered by the department. Traffic accidents numbered 126 with 2 fatalities throughout the year. A Board of three citizens, appointed by the Town Board, serves as a Police Commission, and there is also a citizen Board of Trustees which administers a Police Pension Fund. courts III i •There are two Justices of the Peace, each n' 1 • elected for a four-year term, who administer �►^ the local courts for the residents of the Town. i ; "' . rrJ These courts have limited jurisdiction over civil and criminal cases. This year $2,610.31 was collected in fines -uirJ- nj.A. from civil actions, $515.00 from criminal ac- =( tions, and $7,283.00 from traffic violations. ,-----r 1111,I 111 I civil defense Office, Weaver St. & Edgewood Ave., Larchmont Tel. TE 4-4021 Civil Defense is the public means of pro- E tecting the people, the community, and its _ _ '�:_ __ . economy in face of enemy attack or diaster. Our program is under the direction of _ iT the Deputy Director of Civil Defense and is divided into thirteen major divisions, staffed - ®�' by civic-minded residents of the community. There is an Air Raid Warning System with twelve sirens installed throughout the area and our schools have a carefully organized program directed by the Board of Education. The Civil Defense Office is an employment agency in time of disaster with jobs for all ages and types and your Director urges all citizens to register so that at a time of emergency each may serve in a unit most suited to his particular talent. page nineteen fire Weaver Street Firehouse, Weaver St., Larchmont Tel. TE 4-2100 The Fire Department operated in 1959 r"yt on a total budget of only $94,034.60, of which c� :-/---- $11,000 was for water hydrant rentals. This 1 j;,iti:'if small operational cost is largely due to the =AF, 't rt .P 100 volunteer firemen who serve our com- _"'-�,`i' :_�= munity so ably and so well. - --.._fax--. �� In addition to our volunteers, the staff also lists 9 full-time paid firemen and is headed by a Chief, 2 Deputies, and 4 Company Captains. Equipment includes a 100-foot Aerial, a combination Hose and Ladder Truck, a 1000-gallon Pumper, a Patrol Truck and a small Pumper. Again during the year 1959 fire was due primarily to defective wiring, defective heating equipment and carelessness with cigar- ettes. The Department, which is responsible for the prevention of fire as well as for combatting it, conducts fire drills and training ses- sions in the use of the latest fire fighting techniques, and also makes periodic inspections throughout the year for the purpose of locating and correcting existing violations. There were no fatalities, only 3 injuries, and a property loss of $17,000 resulting from the 202 alarms answered in the unincorporated area in 1959. zoning The provision and enforcement of fair and just zoning is vital to preserving the property value and character of a community. When a building permit or a certificate of occupancy is denied by the Build- ing Inspector because of non-conformity with the ordinance, an appeal from such decision may be made to the Board of Appeals. The Board of Appeals, a five-man board appointed by the Town Board, makes decisions on all applications for variances from and interpretations of the Zoning Ordinance with the exception of those pertaining to swimming pools, which are appealable to the Town Board. This year, this Board held 12 meetings to consider 21 such appeals, granting 17 and denying 4 variances. planning The Planning Board consists of five members and is appointed by the Town Board. It passes on all new and partially completed subdivisions in the unincorporated area. At the request of the Town Board,this board also makes recom- mendations for general planning throughout the unincorporated area, and while its jurisdiction extends only to that section of the Town, it consults and works closely with the Planning Board of the Village of Larchmont in an effort to achieve greater unity in over-all community planning. During this year, 11 meetings and 2 public hearings were held and 2 new subdivisions approved. In addition, the publication in 1959 of a new Zoning Ordinance for the unincorporated area of the Town, which was adopted by page twenty the Town Board on June 29th and became effective on August 7th of 1959, culminated the many long months of hard work spent by the members of this board on its preparation,and brought to fruition a project started early in '58 with a view toward providing the un- incorporated area with a modern, up-to-date Ordinance in con- formance with present-day standards. library On Larchmont Avenue, south of the Post Road The town contributed $25,745.00 toward support of the Public Library for 1959. Circulation this year totaled 131,499. The _� Library had 46,734 books, and 6,885 borrowers, ,� of whom 3,885 were from the unincorporated 4 �/ area. Significant this year is the fact that the Library became an active member of the �� ' 7 Westchester Library System, which means ,/. that any adult borrower of the Larchmont 1 ql Library may obtain a card which entitles him © — to use or to borrow freely the materials of any of the 33 participating Westchester Libraries. water Westchester Joint Water Works No. 1 129 Halstead Avenue,Mamaroneck Tel. OW 8-3500 Water is supplied to the unincorporated area by the Westchester Joint Water Works No. 1, a municipal agency owned and operated jointly by the Town of Mamaroneck, the Village of Mamaroneck, and the Town of Harrison. It is governed by a Board of Trustees composed of the supervisors of the two towns and the mayor of the village and administered by a superintendent. In 1959, 1101 feet of new mains were added to the 39 miles of water mains comprising the distribution system in the unincor- porated area of the Town. The peak daily consumption of water occurred this year on July 8th when it rose to 3,520,000 gallons, or 3.4 times the average daily use of 1,030,000 gallons. This year with the completion of the new 30-inch water line, begun in 1957 and constructed at a cost of $1,663,695.00, any neces- sity for imposing annoying restrictions on water use has been elim- inated and an increase of 14 gallons per person per day indicates that people are now receiving and using all the water desired. This line, which is six miles long and connects to shaft 22 of the Delaware Aqueduct in Yonkers, will furnish water in such quantity as to meet all demands for our expanding needs far beyound the foreseeable future. In addition to supplying the Westchester Joint Water Works, this source will also supply some of its water to the Village of Larchmont. page twenty-one to our residents in conclusion . . . Now that you have read this report, we hope you are better acquainted with your Town and its govern- ment. Increased knowledge will serve to maintain good government and promote the welfare and well-being of all residing in the Town. To this end, we are deeply grateful to our local paper, The Mamaroneck Daily Times, for its excellent coverage of Town affairs throughout the year. We take great pride in the interest our civic or- ganizations and individual citizens show in the com- munity, and we thank them for their many excellent suggestions. It is our sincere feeling that any progress we may realize in the conduct of government is due pri- marily to this interest and to the implementation of these suggestions by the boards, commissions, and em- ployees comprising the government staff. The members of your Town Board and of the entire staff consider it their duty and pleasure to serve you at all times and cordially welcome your ideas for the continuing and constant improvement of the Town's government and its service. page twenty-two directory 1959 Town Board GEORGE D.
