ENTRANCE AND EXIT LIGHTS AT JUNIOR HIGH.SCHOOLS
After some discussion between the Board and Mr. L. William Banner
with regard to entrance and exit lights at the two junior high schools,
it was decided that the Town Supervisor would request from the New
York State Electric & Gas Corporation recommendations for lighting
both entrances to Boynton and the common entrance to BOCES and DeWitt
and the common exit from BOCES and DeWitt.
ACQUISITION OF ROSEMARY LANE BY HIGH SCHOOL
Supervisor Schwan reported that he had information from Highway
Superintendent Morey that the Town has been maintaining Rosemary
Lane for-the past twenty years. It may be that we do not have a
that right of way. It is apparently a traveled right of way
which by right of eminent domain became a Town highway. This did not
seem to be an obstacle if the High School is.willing to accept a quit
claim deed of the Town's proprietary ownership of the road. Mr. Schwan
suggested that Mr. Banner check with their attorney. Mr. Banner said
he would but he thought they would have no objection to accepting a
quit claim, deed. / ;
It was suggested that it would be appropriate to have a public hearing
with respect to the Town deeding the road to the high school.
Motion by.. Supervisor Schwan; seconded by Councilman Del Rosso,
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca hold a public
hearing to consider the possibility of Deeding Rosemary LAne to the
Ithaca City School District, the hearing to be held on April 10, 1972
at 5:15 p.m. * ^
Unanimously carried.

TRANSMISSION LINES ON SAPSUCKER WOODS ROAiD
Supervisor Schwan reported that there were some 15 houses on Sapsuoker
Woods Road making use of Town of Ithaca transmission mains and sug-
~ gested that the Board give consideration to a method of charing the
Town of Dryden for the use of same. No decision was made on this
until it was determined w^at the Town of Dryden's sewer charge for
these connections is. The area includes that part of Sapsucker Woods
Road that is in the Town of Dryden, plus about three houses on Hanshaw
Road.
