�xRiS, it. has been estimated that the cost of
Type B curb and gutter, according to the unit
prics bid of the contractor will be approximately
81.02 a running root or a total cost to both
communities, that is, the Town of TT.amaronec'. and
Village of 11amaroneck, of approximately x;30,000.00;
that the approximate cost of concreting the 3--1/3
feet of additional surface with 9 inches reinforced
concrete would be =161300.00 and the approximate
cost of constructing a concrete curb, according
to Type A specifications of the State of New York
would be approximately $21,_000.00; and
-H Y4.AS, it al)-pears to the Town Board of the To-,..°n of
Lamaroneck that a more satisfactory method of construction,
considering that this portion of the Boston Post Road
is subjected to heavy traffic ,with a concentrated con-
tinuous usage of heavy trucks and buses, would be
the substitution of a single concrete curb, according
to the specifications for Type A curb of the State of
Yew York in preference to the concrete curs and gutter,
