5. The.Mayor read a letter from Lindley_C. Kent,',in which
it 15
he complained about the excessive speeding on Triphammer Road and
the dangerous intersection of Upland and Triphammer Roads. This
matter was discussed at length, at which time Police Cddissioner
Crandall brought out that the main difficulty encountered in the
control of speeding on Triphammer Road was caused by the fact that
the east side of the street is a county road where the legal speed
limit is 50 miles per hour, whereas the west aide of the road is
within the Village where the speed limit is 25 miles per hour.
He said'it was quite impossible for Police Officer VanZile to
control speeding under such circumstances.
IT WAS VOTED that the Clerk should address a letter to the
Board of Supervisors and request that steps betaken to have that
portion of Triphammer Road bordering the Village be declared a
speed zone with a maximum rate,of 25 miles per hour.
'
IT WAS ALSO VOTED that arrangements be made to have Police
Officer VanZile made a deputy sheriff, as such a title would give
him additional authority in certain cases.

May 31st, which he said was the lowest balance as of that date
during his term of office.
7. The Engineer reported that he had issued a building
permit to Raymond McElwee who plans to build a house on,the east
side of the Parkway near the Poole residence.
The Engineer reported that he had been unable to make a deal
with Gleason & Knight regarding the resurfacing of streets due to
the fact that Gleason & Knight are short of materials.
IT WAS VOTED to authorize the Engineer to negotiate'a
'
contract with Gleason & Knight for the resurfacing of roads in the
Village within the budget limit, the streets to be treated to be
116
designated by the Engineer.
The Engineer reported that he had received a complaint
originating with the School Board that the Village workmen were .
not picking up refuse from the school grounds. He explained
some extenuating circumstances why this had not been done in the
past, but said he had ordered Mr. Haskins to pick it up in the
future.
