Also present Charles Denny, Frank Cowles, Mr. and Mrs. ,Edwin F. Coffin. Dr. Clarke, Health Officer, reported one bathing beach was licensed dur- ing the month. • 359 Mr. and Mrs. Edwin F. Coffin presented the following letter which was read to the board by the clerk: Amott, Baker & Co. , 150 Broadway, New York, 7, N.Y. Dear Mr.- Walkup;- July 90 51. I tried to find you at home on my way back to Sch'dy last night but found that you were away. I was thinking over our problem Saturday. As you know, I feel that I have, been fair in my dealings and complaint about the condition at my property. I feel that I am entitled to damages to my property for land taken without consent, trees damaged, steps taken away, material removed by the town and neither steps or material replaced. Incidently, as I mentioned, a N.Y. party at my place walled off the place while there, as the steps had been taken away and the ' space left vacant. I do not know what will become of that matter, however, I do not feel responsible as Mr. iecky was of course the one who removed the steps. Your suggestion that I attend the next board meeting and we talk this over suggested to me an idea as I understand that one objection of the Town going ahead to protect me at my place is that the fear is that if this is done to prevent my bank from falling more that others may also ask for protection. To offset this objection and to meet the situation,, to take: care of the matter agreeably to all as far as I am concerned I will make the Town this proposition. Dependent upon this being taken care of by August 10,51, I agree first, to give the Town a release from all damages to my property to date if the Town will agree to build for me the retaining wall which they had agreed informally to build, such -wall to be 3J ft. high from the present level of the road. The .Town to furnish all materials and I will pay for the labor, not to exceed the sum of $100. I have heard that figure men - tinned by some of the Town officials as the probable cost of labor to _ build the wall. In this. way any argument as to the Town building the wall can be denied if the labor cost is actually paid for by me. I am addressing you as we had some conversation about the matter on the Oth, and if you will bring this to' the attention of the other members of the Town Board, Mrs. Coffin and I will attend the July regular meeting to see if- we can agreeably get this matter settled to all. Very Y you8`�truly j ,;. 9 (signed) Edwin F. Coffin The Highway Committee comprising Mr. Walkup and Mr. Sleight and Mr. Bentley orally reported favorably on the Coffin proposition.
