To the Honorable, The Town
Board of the Town of Mamaroneck,
Mamaroneck, New York.
The Clerk read a communication from the State Commission
of Prisons on the inspection of the Town Lock-Up April 9, 1919,
together with their reccomendations. Upon motion the report
was received and ordered filed with the Supervisor.
Upon motion it was
RESOLVED, that the Town Board appropriate the sum of
$65.00, to be used for the expenses for the Memorial Day ser-
vices.
Upon motion it was
RESOLVED that the Supervisor be authorized and empowered
divided into lots fronting on a street shall not be sold unless
the street shall have been graded under the regulations of the
Town Board and dedicated and accepted by the town. After dis-
cussion, it was
RESOLVED, that the Supervisor take such action as he
deems wise in the matter and communicate with Governor Smith.
The Supervisor reported the payment of $1,000 Boston
Post Road bond. Upon motion it was
RESOLVED that the said bond be cancelled.
Counsel reported that the County Attorney had objected
to the form of Resolution passed by Board directing the dis-
charge and cancellation of the Bond of John C. Kane, a former
Receiver of Taxes, in that said Resolution did not specifically
state that the said Kane had "fully" discharged his duties and
"fully" accounted for and "fully" paid over all moneys receiv-
ed by him. Counsel stated that the reason the Resolution was
not so drawn when presented was that the matter referred to
transpired some 19 years ago and the Board had no personal
knowledge in the premises, but that inasmuch as the matter was
of such long standing there was probably no objection to pass-
ing the Resolution as requested. Upon motion was
RESOLVED:
WHEREAS, it has been brought to the attention of the Town
Board of the Town of Mamaroneck that the bond given by John C.
Kane for the faithful performance of his duties as Collector of
Taxes for the Town of Mamaroneck, said bond bearing date April
20th, 1901, and having been filed in the Westchester County
Clerk's office on April 23rd, 1901, has not been cancelled and,
WHEREAS, it appears from said bond that Bradford B.
McGregor, deceased, is one of the sureties on said bond and
WHEREAS, the said bond is still a lien against the
property of said John C. Kane, principal, and against the prop-
erty of the sureties on said bond, as appear from the record
of the County Clerk of Westchester County, for the reason that
said bond has not been cancelled and
WHEREAS, a request has been made to this board that
said bond be forthwith cancelled so that the lien thereof may
be removed and
WHEREAS, it appears to the satisfaction of this board
that said John C. Kane has fully discharged the duties of his
position as such receiver of taxes and fully accounted for and
fully paid over all moneys received by him as such Receiver of
Taxes and for that reason the bond should be cancelled, the can-
cellation heretofore of said bond having apparently been over-
