o
Triphmmmer Road, west of the lots..of, Paul Brainard and Archie Palmer.

5. Mayor Baxter read a letter from Prof,.:Dwight'Sanderson,'
requesting that the Village take over the maintenance of that .portion
of Overlook,Road lying between Kline Road and Hillside Drive.. ,This
has never been taken over by the Village due to,the fact that:it is
e
less than 33 feet wide which is the State's requirement for accept-
q
ance of roads to be designated by Villages as village highways. The
2
legal and engineering difficulties involved in widening the road were
discussed and it was decided not, to designate that portion'of Overldok
Road as a village highway, but'
,IT, WAS VOTED, RESOLVED that .Engineer Crandall be requested .
to maintain ;Overlook Road between*Kline Road and Hillside Drive if
such could be done for a small annual outlay.
6. Mayor Baxter read.to the Board of Trustees the correspondence
and Village action with regard to the sewer in front of the house of
Prof. Kennard. It appeared that Prof. Kennard had a.reasonable
grievance for the manner in which the matter had been adjusted in 1931
and
IT WAS VOTED that Engineer Crandall be requested to.negotiate
with Prof. Kennard regarding an adjustment and bring in a
recommendation
to the Trustees at the next meeting.
