The petition was ordered received, spread upon .the min- utes and is as follows: To the Town Board Town of Mamaroneck, N.Y. Gentlemen: We, the undersigned, residents and taxpayers of Colonial Park, Town of Mamaroneck, N.Y. do hereby petition your Hon. Board to take over the following streets, situated in Colonial Park, as follows: Map of Colonial Park, Section 1. Colonial Ave. off Murray Ave. to Weaver St. 2700 ft. Senate Terrace off Colonial Ave. to Forest Ave. 2000 ft. Section s. Sheldrake Ave. off Forest Ave. to Rockland Ave. 750 ft. Highland Ave. off Sheldrake Ave. to Rockland Ave. 1200 ft. Forest Place off Highland Ave. to Forest Ave. 200 ft. Highland Street off Highland Ave. to Rockland Ave. 375 ft. Summit Street off Highland Ave. to Rockland Ave. 375 ft. After the above streets have been accepted by the Town, we would respectfully ask your Hon. Boardd to take the necessary steps to improve three (3) namely Colonial Ave., Senate Terrace and Sheldrake Ave. The necessity of improving Colonial Ave. and Senate Terrace is plainly shown by the fact that all the children from the Gardens and lower Weaver Street would use those streets going to and coming from school, Thus avoiding the most dangerous part of Weaver Street. At the same time it would greatly improve the East side of the School property, which, under present condi- tions is not in keeping with the beautiful building erected there, and certainly not a credit to the community. On Sheldrake Avenue seven (7) residences are already built, owners paying taxes, which entitles them to better road conditions. Hoping our petition will receive your due consideration we beg to remain, Respectfully, COLONIAL PARK AND NEIGRBORHOOD ASSOCIATION (Sgd.) Oscar Addor, President. C. W. Dorland Carl L. Narns M.

Dear Sir: Answering your letter of the 16th, beg to advise instructions have been issued to our Engineer to purchase the material and proceed with the installation of the following extensions in the Town of Mamaroneck:- 2085' - 6" pipe on Forrest Avenue from Weaver Street to Rockland Avenue, Town of Mamaroneck-Estimated cost $9,395.00 400' - 6" pipe on Edgewood Avenue, South of Murray Avenue - Estimated cost- 1,867.00 350' - 6" - pipe on Beach Street, West of Myrtle Avenue - Estimated cost- 1,175.00 $12,437.00 You will note the estimated cost of these extensions has increased considerably since last year, due to the fact that pipe is not $54.00 per ton, while at that time it was $44.00 per ton. There is considerable rock in Forrest Avenue and Edgewood Avenue which also adds to the cost. As to the Garden Road extension, we are looking into this now and expect a report from our Mamaroneck office early next week, at which time we will advise Mr. Burton what will be done about it.
