FOREWORD
{ This publication is prepared as a public service by the League of
Women Voters of Larchmont.Although we have tried very hard to present 1
accurate, up-to-date information, it becomes apparent that rapidly
changing,events will inevitably produce some inaccuracies.
The League of Women Voters is a national, non-partisan organi-
zation dedicated to the principles of self-government established in the
Constitution of the United States. Members study national,state and local
governmental issues, and seek to foster political responsibility in all
citizens.
Your local League of Women Voters has served Larchmont for over
fifty years, providing information about all levels of government. Special
Voters' Service programs,scheduled at election times,include the publica-
tion and free distribution of a Voters' Guide to issues and candidates on
the ballot and the distribution of voting information to new voters and to
servicemen away from home. Public meetings are scheduled to provide
voters the opportunity for face-to-face contact with all candidates on the
local ballot.
The League of Women Voters never endorses candidates or parties,
but it does take stands on issues studied, following agreement among its
members.
The League welcomes as members and supporters all those who sub-
scribe to its goal—informing and encouraging citizen participation in
democracy. We invite inquires from all interested residents.

HISTORY ion
t
it
La
The Town of Mamaroneck, of which Larchmont is a part, dates its m'
written history from September 23, 1661,when John Richbell,whose deed su;
of purchase is on file in Albany, bought "three necks of land" on the Yc
Westchester Path from Chiefs Wappaquewam and his brother tra
Mahatahan. Our Town records, still in fine condition, begin some six rei
years later, on April 2, 1697. ab
The Indians who preceded us were the Wickquaska Tribe of the r"`
Siwanoys who lived throughout Westchester, and belonged to the in
Mohicans, a part of the Algonquin Nation. Not a nomadic people with an
tepees and horses,they lived in houses made of branches and covered by
thatched roofs. Since they often lived communally and used boats rather w
than canoes, one can almost imagine them as giving the keynote for our gr'
modern life near the Sound. ea
The deed for John Richbell's purchase was called "Mamaronock 17
Neck," and Larchmont was part of the middle neck. In 1697 Richbell's pe
widow conveyed the property to Col.Caleb Heathcote of Scarsdale Manor. ho
In 1701 Samuel Palmer acquired the "middle Neck" and it remained foi
in his family until about 1790 when Peter Jay Munro, a nephew of John st(
Jay,bought most of it. Munro built the "Manor House" which still stands
at the head of what is now Prospect Avenue in Larchmont, and is repre- co
rented in a painting which hangs in the Larchmont Library. Munro gave ou
us the name "Larchmont," from the larches which his Scotch gardener till
planted around the "mont" on which the Manor House stood. The word wl
."Manor" was added to Larchmont by E. K. Collins who bought part of
Mr. Munro's property in 1845.
4 -4-
1
In 1865 Mr. Collins decided to auction off his "Manor." At this date
.4.,. the New Haven Railroad stop for this area was called "Chatsworth." The
land was bought by Thompson J. S. Flint, who subdivided it for a subur-
•Li ban community.Lots were sold to many wealthy people in New York,who
,N thought of L'archmont as a summer colony. Mr. Flint set aside 6 acres,of
t• shore front as the Larchmont Manor Park for the benefit of those who
bought lots, and the land subdivided on "Map 610" still carries with it,
through priority, the water rights specified at that time.
Although Larchmont remained a summer colony for many years, it
attracted permanent residents from the theatrical world, and as it ex-
panded, a good water supply, gas and sewers, as well as police and fire
. protection were needed. So in 1891 the Village of Larchmont was in-
corporated, an area of"one square mile, or 640 acres of land." By this
time a horse-car line ran on Larchmont Avenue to Chatsworth Station. On
Sundays two ladies held church services and ran Larchmont's first Sunday
School in a little building on Horseshoe Harbor. Permission was granted
to a group of men to use the building as a yacht club provided they paid
one dollar a year rent,kept a janitor to clean the building, and did not use
it as a club house on Sundays. Thus began the now nationally known
Larchmont Yacht Club.
As one walks through Larchmont today it is natural to wonder how
's its much of our early history remains visible. Certainly the early period is still
deed suggested by the Post Road. Although this road from the Battery in New
i the York to Boston opened about 1672 and post riders and stage coaches
ether traveled it regularly in the 18th century, no trace of those earlier days
e six remains. However, our part of it became the Westchester Turnpike Road
about 1800, and of its milestones, some still remain. One worn one is
F the mounted on a pedestal facing the Post Road near the Municipal Building
the in Larchmont Village. The milestone reads "21 miles from New York,"
with and the pedestal says it was originally erected just east of there in 1804.
by Across the Post Road a little to the West, separated from the side-
ither walks by old retaining walls, are two old cemeteries, the Quaker burying
our ground and the Barker cemetery. Quakers were very important in our
early history.Many of them came to Mamaroneck in the latter part of the
nock 17th century. The first Quaker Meeting House was built llere about 1735,
bell's perhaps on the land where the Barker cemetery now remains. The meeting
nor. house was moved long ago but there still exists the deed for sale of the land
Lined for use as cemeteries for 20 shillings by Solomon Palmer whose house once
John stood where Albee Court Apartments now are.
ands Larchmont grew rapidly and soon became a year-round commuting
epre community. From the 1890's until 1930 the population of the Village far
gave outnumbered the Unincorporated Area. However between 1930 and 1940
lener the latter increased from 664 to 8,468 persons and in 1970 was over 13,000,
word whereas the Village inhabitants numbered 7,200. •

What is the origin of Towns? In 1788 the State divided all counties into da
towns for certain administrative purposes but without the power to pro-
vide services such as police, fire, sanitation, street paving.
- 6 -
Why were villages established? When the population of an area reached a
size requiring such municipal services, villages were incorporated to fill
these needs by adopting their own laws, managing their finances, and
electing a mayor and trustees. But each village remained a part of a town
and continued to participate in the election of the Town Supervisor and
the Town Council.
What is an"unincorporated"area?The parts of towns outside of villages
which remained too sparsely settled to warrant incorporating into villages
are "unincorporated" areas. Gradually, state law was amended to allow
these sections to provide municipal services as needed. Thus, as popula-
tions increased,there was no longer a reason to incorporate into a village;
therefore, these areas remained "unincorporated."
What are the duties and responsibilities of the Town Council? The Town
Council, consisting of a Supervisor (two-year term) and four Councilmen
(four-year terms), elected by the whole Town—Larchmont Village,
Mamaroneck Village (excluding Rye Neck) and the Unincorporated
Area—governs the Unincorporated Area in the same manner as the
Village Board directs the affairs of Larchmont Village. In addition, state
law mandates that the Town Council (through the General Town Tax,
levied on all property owners in the whole Town)provide the whole Town
with designated services, including collection of certain taxes, property
assessment, supervision of elections, and provision of Town-wide recrea- •
tional facilities and programs. All other services, such as police, fire,
sanitation and water, are separate for each municipality. Property owners
in each Village pay taxes to their Village for these services. Property
owners in the Unincorporated Area pay taxes to the Town for similar
services. The Village of Larchmont and the Town have a joint Garbage
Disposal Commission. The Village of Larchmont owns the public library;
the Town and Village share the operating expenses proportionately ac-
cording to its use by the residents.
Who governs the Village? The Village Board, consisting•of a Mayor and
four trustees (all serving two-year terms), governs the VIlage of Larch-
• mont. Members are elected by citizens of the Village of Larchmont only,
and serve without pay.
Can the Governments be seen in action? Meetings of Moth the Town
Council and the Village Board are open to the public. Citizens are en-
couraged to attend and participate.(See Citizens' Calendar on page 34 for
ito days of meetings.) '

Many residents have cited our school system as a major factor in their PTA'
decision to tive in Larchmont. A genuine drive for educational excellence Schoc
and innovative response to changing needs characterize the administra- reside
tion,teachers and residents of our community. To foster this climate, four relate
educational goals, developed by a panel of parents and educators, were to the
adopted by the School Board in 1972. These goals stress individualization, taine(
flexibility of leaching approaches, improved communication with the Schol
community, and efficiency and economy in school management. 1 Gifts
The Mamaroneck Union Free School District includes the Village of suppl
Larchmont, the unincorporated area of the Town of Mamaroneck, and stude
part of the Village of Mamaroneck. (See map—center spread.) The four finan,
neighborhood elementary schools are Central School, Chatsworth Avenue
School, Mamaroneck Avenue School and Murray Avenue School. The Exch:
Hommocks middle school houses seventh and eighth grade students and have
the Mamaroneck High School, grades nine through twelve. The school or a s
system is one of the largest enterprises enter rises in the Town of Mamaroneck, with our h
forei
an annual budget exceeding$14 million(1973-74)andastaff of more than 750 serving a student population of over 6,000. uncle]

School Administration: The Mamaroneck School Board is a policy- in La
making body operating under the laws of the State of New York. The Mont
Board consists of seven non-salaried trustees elected at large for a three-
Cent(
Y
ear term bythe residents of the school district. A Selection Committee
(See Election Information on page 22)recommends nominees for School evem
Board openings. However, any citizen may run independently merely by Schoc
presenting a petition with twenty-five signatures to the District Clerk Cour.
fourteen days prior to the election. The Superintendent of Schools is A dei
appointed by the School Board and is responsible for executing policies dents
established by the Board.Residents are encouraged to attend the monthly
School Board meetings and to express their views on relevant issues.
Budget: Each spring the School Board presents to the residents a pro-
posed
budget for the capital and operating expenses of the schools for the
following year. At open hearings, the Board explains its philosophy and
invites questions and revisions from the public. The budget is then sub-
mitted to the voters for approval. To vote, residents must register separ-
ately from political registration (See page 22). As of this writing,
Mamaroneck ranks about in the middle of Westchester County in the
amount spent per pupil and slightly below the median of the County in the
tax rate.

Citizen Participation: Parent-Teacher Associations are very active in our
schools. They help to promote better understanding and communication
between home and school. Volunteers are assuming an increasingly im-
portant role,helping in special tutorial programs,the libraries, directly in
the classrooms and in offices. Specialized help is given according to the
changing needs of the students and the particular abilities of the volun,
teers. The Parent-Teacher Council coordinates the work of the District
their PTA's. KNOW YOUR SCHOOLS newsletters are published jointly by the
ence School Board,the P-T Council and the school staffs and are mailed to all
stra- residents monthly during the school year. A calendar listing all school-
four related events and vacations is published by the P-T Council. It is mailed
were to the family of every student in the public schools. Copies may be ob-
tion, tained in the school offices, if one has not been received.
the Scholarships: The Student Aid Fund exists to help students financially.
Gifts from citizens, businesses and the yield from endowment funds
;e of supply the monies.It awards scholarships and makes loans to supplement
and students' resources for post high school study. The qualifications are
four financial need, scholarship and character.
enue
The Exchange Students: The American Field Service and the school system
and have cooperated since 1952.We send one or two students abroad for a year
thool or a summer of study and in return welcome one or two foreign students in
with our high school.As of this writing,the Rotary Club also plans to sponsor a
than foreign student.The basic purpose of these exchange programs is to foster
understanding between young people of various nations.

COUNTY

Our County, although 290 years old as a political entity, operates
today under a charter adopted January 1, 1939.Revision of the charter is a
continuous process and some major changes have been made. The County
serves us in two ways, both as an agent for New York State and as a self-
governing unit. White Plains is the county seat.
The County Executive, elected for four years, appoints the depart-
ment heads and commissions,and with the approval of the Board of Legis-
lators, they function under the provisions of the charter and the adminis-
trative code.
The 17-member Board of Legislators represents the 17 districts into
which the County has been divided. They are elected to two-year terms.
The County Courts are part of the New York State System. The State
Supreme Court of the Ninth Judicial District meets in the County Court
House in White Plains. Several other courts have jurisdiction only within
the County; namely, the County, Surrogate and Family Courts.
Westchester County provides health and welfare services, mainten-
ance of county parkways,parks and recreational facilities,the operation of
the County Center and Westchester Community College, community
planning services and protection of property.
As an agent for the State, the County issues motor Ntehicle and driver
4 licenses, records deeds, supervises all elections, except school elections,
and disburses state aid to local governments.
County Government is paid for by taxes added to local tax bills, by
federal and state aid and by revenues from County-operated facilities
urance,etc. including recreation areas and Westchester County Airport.

Party Entollment under PPR is-permanent until a change is desired.
Changes may be made during registration istration or at the Board of
g
Elections in White Plains.
Party Primary participation is important as a means of expressing choice
{{ of candidates. Because of the "no-contest-no-primary" amendment
II'I recently passed,only contested positions will appear on the primary ballot.
You can vote only in the party in which you are registered, in a primary
election. `
Republican and Democratic Committees are organized in the Town and
Village. Headquarters are set up during elections, at which time both •
parties need-arid welcome active participants. Committeemen represent
the various districts and are available throughout the year for questions
and information.
School Elections are held in May of each year to elect School Board
members and vote on a school budget. Separate registration days are
designated every April at each of the elementary schools, as registration
for general elections does not automatically entitle one to vote in school
elections. The neighborhood elementary school also serves as the voting
place. PPR is in effect if one has voted in a school election once within the presii
past two years. The qualifications for voting are the same as for a general 1201
election. the e:
Candidates for available seats on the School Board are nominated by the this
School Board Selection Committee. However, anyone submitting a heari
25-name petition to the District Clerk fourteen days before the election,
may be a candidate for a seat on the School Board. The Committee is
composed of twenty-four men and women, eight from each of the three
municipalities of the School District. At an annual meeting in the spring who 1
Lard eachyear (announced in the Daily Times), the Committee accepts
moto
unlimited nominations from the floor to fill the vacancies occurring each
year on the Committee. The election of the members is conducted at the hand
same time as the school election. As this is a separate, unofficial election,
no registration is necessary. The only qualification is that the voter be
eighteen years old and a resident of the Mamaroneck School District.
