During the meeting the President communicated Fire Chief
hielly�s,underst''ifth' of the responsibility of the village in case
the Ithaca, Fire Department answers calls within the village limits,
as fo�]ows': -'That formerly there was a gentleman's agreement in
iegard'e' the payment of' fifty dollars by the village for each
`response to fire alarms, but that some time in the past the village
of Cayuga Heights had contributed five hundred dollars (500)
towards the equipment and maintenance of one of the fire stations:
Since that time the Chief feels that it is unnecessary to,make any
demands for paymment in,reaponse to fire alarms, unless, of course,
there should be so many of them that the response would become a
burden. The Chief, however, stated that in case the city needed
fire fighting equipment within the oityls boundaries a village call
would have to be given second consideration. He also expressed
the desire that the residents would not call out the fire department
in case of grass fires but that each owner should be personally
responsible.for the result of setting fires to grass and brush,
Voted to adjourn.

In answer to a petition signed by most of the property owners
on the west side of the Cayuga Heights Road and north of Renwick
Drive to the village line asking that the location of the sidewalk
to be constructed along the west side of said road be definitely
established it was voted to authorize the president to reply in the
following manner+ That the informal opinion of ,the Board of
Trustees favored the retention of a roadway eleven 11) feet on
either side of the center; the sidewalk to be five (5).feet in
width; and the building of a retaining -wall along the west side
of sidewalk at least thirty -six (36) inches above the level of the
sidewalk. Further, that no grass plots or plantings should be
placed between the retaining -wall and the road. And, that it be a
matter of record that the Board of Trustees do not guarantee that
the State will not want to use the full fifty (50) foot width to
which, by law, it is entitled.
This expression of opinion being given in lieu of a definite
sidewalk policy which is now pending:
Voted to authorize the street commissioner to move shale
excavated from Prof. C.K. Burdick's property on Cayuga Heights
Road for road eonstruotioi{ on the east side of Renwick Drive
immediately east of the Cayuga Heights Road.
Voted to adjourn.
