The intersection of Webber Avenue and North Street is hereby designated as a Stop intersection and a stop sign facing North and South shall be erected on Webbber Avenue, at Said intersection. Many residents from Webber Avenue stated that they had expressed cone m about this for a long time and felt the stop signs were needed ery badly, but also a warning sign should be erected approaching ebber Avenue from either end so that drivers are aware that they will be coming to a full stop and not be screeching to a halt when they arrive at the full stop sign.

We are requesting assistance from your organization for the following aspects of the program. The property will be closed until 12:00 noon but the parking lot will open at 11:00 A.M. We will have parking attendants available during the day but we will need to use Bellwood Ave. at some time for the overflow. The event will begin at 12:00 noon with a "parade" from Old Dutch to our parking lot and require the closing of Broadway between the two lights for the four- to five-minute interval. There will be volleys of salute shells during this march, fired from our south field and the public may be concerned about the noise. We will have the usual fireworks display for approximately fourteen minutes from our south pasture, around 6:30 P.M. A copy of the insurance certificate will be forthcoming. The event should end and people be moving away from the site by 7:00 P.M. I appreciate your help, and will call you next week to check on details. Thank you. Sincerely yours, William B.

It can serve as landmark and focal point for the Village without being excessively over-designed or out of place. Because it will be perceived primarily from automobiles passing by, anything with more detail would either be lost or serve as a distraction to drivers. I do have some concerns, however, about the actual height and location of the small sign. I recommend that sight distances in the area be checked to be sure that this sign doesn't create a hazardous situation. I'd also suggest re-examining the plant materials to find something that might be a little less susceptible to winter damage from either snow or salt. I'd be happy to discuss this further with either you or members of the Village Board of Trustees. Please let me know if you would like any further information.

Please read i t , and study my n o t a t i o n of p a r t i c u l a r paragraph on pg. 2. I believe t h i s anonymous l e t t e r has some very fine p o i n t s in it. Thank you. Ve,ry truly yours, Edna Belanich �I Keap K^Jth Tarcylown*s name Some people are jumping to conclusions about changing toe name of North Tarrytown. I'm disgusted with the way this issue is being handled. This "dream" is being shoved down the throats of citizens who oppose it. The statement by Chris Skelly that the name change to Sleepy Hollow would "change the image of North Tarrytown" is ridiculous. The only "magic" that will change that image is getting to the basic problems facing the village. This whole issue is a smoke screen and cover-up for what ails North Tarrytown. Where does the former North Tarrytown Name Change Committee get the absurd notion to change its name to Village of Sleepy Hollow Committee when there is no village of Sleepy Hollow? Isn't this jumping the gun? This proposal was instituted during the Zegarelli administration and a committee was formed. I never believed in changing anything merely for the sake of change. Trustee Allison Fine was quoted as saying, "They elected us to change things. In t way, I could say that this is part of our vision." I say the village should change what is necessary, such as dealing with high taxes, parking, litter and enforcing ordinances and establishing new ones. Has any thought been given to the unending paper work that would be involved such as changing all of our documents, registrations, i n s u r a n c e s , etc.. both personal and business? We may have to hire lawyers to correct our deeds and more. Has attention been given to the elderly who may not have family to help them with the paperwork? I urge citizens and merchants to voice their concerns about this farce and discourage this committee from continuing this childish game. If the village boundaries are in question, they should be surveyed. It was in poor taste to even change the committee name prematurely to Sleepy Hollow. We, who have lived here most of our lives and have donated much of our time and energy to this village, deserve better treatment from those just now "coming out of the woodwork." EDNA BELANICH North Tarrytown �October 25, 1987 Mrs. Edna Belanich 153 North Washington Street North Tarrytown, NY 10591 Dear Mrs. Belanich: I read, with much interest and approval, your recent letter to the editor. One wonders whether sufficient thought has been given to this question in the rush to get it on the ballot. By the way, if the question does get on the ballot, it will probably pass because of the small ratio of concerned citizens who actually get out to vote. A reliable source tells me that the Name Change Conmittee attended recent gatherings of senior citizens and encouraged them to sign the petitions. This seems like undue pressure on these older residents to influence their opinions. I am very concerned about the plight of this segment of the population as well as the remainder of village residents. Consider the case of the hypothetical inhabitants of a small bouse on one of the main streets in the village: Bachelor B. lives in what was his parents* home -- as he has all of his life -- with his widowed sister, Ixs. W. who joined him after the death of her husband. Mr. B. has retired after many years' service to the New York Central Railroad. Mrs. W. *s husband had retired from General Motors shortly before his death.
