Tbe old engine bouse Is nearing Its new site on North Lexington ave^ nue. It was believed at first that the hose tower would havq to be •taken off the building, but it w&s found that this tower would pass under the trees on the street so it was left on. The new Are house will be a hand some structure, and when ccrnnpleted old Hoi|)e will have as good a home as any of the -fire companies. The ootfipany Is now occupying the In- dependent Engine Company quarters and the Independent auto apparatus has been placed wltl^ the F^fe Patrol apparatus. Who Wrote Trustee Hewitt's Resolution on Di^sal Works Road? The exposures In the Daily Ar^us of last evening relative to the methods In vogue under the law by which i White Plains taxpayers are to pay three times for the SO-foot street or strip leading fr6m Croenburgh aye- ; nue,to the sewRge disposal works land, has set White Plains Uxpay«r« and cltiiens generally a talking, and ; a ttiinklng, and the opinion is universal that it should be am6*Hd ont- who~1t 'WSB Who wrote iTie pi-eamblS and resolution which Trustee Howltt Introduced, abandoning tii« road to the disposal works In equity which ; the village has possessed twenty-three years or more and Instead thereof directing the corporation counsel ; of the village to seek a 11-foot easement in the street Instead. Of course It Is well known that when the present owiftr, Robert E. Farley took possession of the adjacent land two years ago he lirst called the at- ; tentlon of the village autborltlaa loHwlle l that h« had coma-Blttnloisesslon of the atmli and later re- ferre'd to tlie fact that « revivHl of the Commission to coudemu the saline might be made. Still later he ! suggested that the village might only care to take H feet as an easement and abandon their rlghu. In_tli« road orMrlp taken twenty-four years ago. And while along this line ha suggested an annual Interest on'a round sum of twenty-three years, and an annual rental therufttsr InstHid of the-village pressing the equity claim m'the street. Trustee Howltt and the Trustees took to the U-fogt idea ood Int^resy^i*'*®'*')'-'^'\^ years; for the First War'd Trustee introduced the preaable and resolution which was prlnTefin yasterday's. Dally Argus favoring such a step, and all the Trustees present voted tot it except Mr. Farley's brother, •Trustee Farley, who was excused from voting. The Dally Argus yesterday showed how the village wl» pay for this strip or street in three different forms of taxation, and If Mr. Farley's schemes or plans are carried out and our Trustees have fallen tor his suggeetlons—the Ullage taxpayers ot White Plains will still lacH ownership In the land which raam Into their possession twenty-four years ago,'and on whlctr Mr. Farley asks interest during all these years, although non-taxable and possessed by the village under the law. The owners of th* property for over twenty years recognlied the village's rights In the street and never questioned it, and were patiently awaiting the settlament ibeferred through the death of one of the; Commissioners. Later the Bronx Sewer Commissioners tame along with another Comanission, and they awarded the owners some »16,000 for the right to lay pipes along the village mains and eaaanient rights, also, sun later the Bronx Parkway Commission arrives on the scene, and we have already told how over |100,0« have b«en awarded Interests .iu which Mr. Farley Is Interested along the llronx, and how the Commission will take this strip or street and pay Mr. Farley for It. And still oomes Trustee Howltt's plan pay Interest for. twenty-<onr years, take an easement in a imrt of the street only, and let the vil- lage own nothing In the street or strip taken by the offlclals under the law a quarter of,a century ago so tha\ the public could reach the aisposnl works land. ^^ Now, what White Plains taxi)ayers would like to know Is mu) Induced Trustee Howltt to Introduce the resolution he'dld? The Dally Argus is weirSatlsfled he never wrote It, nor did ho know all the facts therein recitdd. Why, the Dally Argus Is satisfted that had Mr. Parley been put to work to look up tiie facts re- cited in Mr. Howltt's preaimble and resolution »100 would not pay Ihft.bill, A sharp, shrewd hand drew that resolution, Mr. Howltt, anil hH st«kai. are being played for. And White Plains tasTttyetS Tin'ow that ttielr cash Is again it^tomand,'although they will be taxed to pay that |lfl,000 already awarded by the Bronx Sower CommlMKn, will have to pay for the llronx Park- wiy Commission award In said 3trlp or street taken by the village authorities a quarter of a century age, and yet again are being called on to hand up lAore shekel by Trustee Howltt's resolution; and what la gall- ing, too. Is to know that after doing what Trustee Howltt and our Trustees would have our taxniayers do, still they would own nothing for the three-time taxes which will ba levied on them. iWhat do our taxpayers think about It?
