Dear Mr. Hoffman:
Enclosed please find copy of the ~a~ers in the mat-
ter of Beach Road. In this matter the refusal cf theTownBoard and
of the Superintendent of Highways to accept and lay out the highway
after having theretofore voted to do so presents these questions to
the people:
(1) Do they desire the road er do they not ?
(2) Do they wish would be beneEactors of the town, who
'expend from $1200 to $1§00 in building a road and offer it freely
to the public, to be treated by the town authorities with contempt-
uous and insolent effrontery ?
The sole alleged reason for the refusal of the -to~m of-
ficials to accept and to lay out the highway ~s as follows:
Mrs. ~ordhem and I did not sign the illegal and im-
proper release submitted to us by Mr. George C. Terry, towm counsel,
which release was an absolute conveyance of the fee of the land.
Such a conveyance'we had not offered to make and had no intention
of making. Are we to be asked to convey this long strip of land,
surrounded by other land of ours, to the town by absolute deed so
that the town can convert the land into a public dump, or use it for
storing cars, trucks &c. ? To ask us so to do is an insult to our
Hr. John Hoffman -2-' May 11, lg~l
intelligence. Therefore, we corrected the release submitted by in-
serting the words .for highway purposes only". To these appropriate
words the town officials in the absence of counsel took exception.
Th~ did not ask for advice or desire it; they out of their own super-
ior knowledge refused to follow the law as it is and always has been
and made the law over to suit themselves.
It .may be of interest to look more attentively at
the papers submitted by the town counsel. He refused, I am told, to
allow my attorney or any one but himself to draw the papers. Then
he neglected to draw them. After re~orting to urgent measures - I
was preparing for a long absence - I succeeded in getting the papers
from him. Before he drew them I offered to be% Otto Van Tuyl t~mnty
five to one thet he v~ould make at least one error. This offer
Van Tuyl wisely declined. There are more errors than one:
(1) My name is given as "Henry" in two places - an excel-
lent na~e but not mine.
(2) The release was not a release for highway purposes
but an absolute conveyance.
(5) The papers follow neither the provisions in the first
part of S 191 of the Highway Law nor those for the alternative pro-
ceeding provided for later in the section but seem to be an attempt
to combine both proceedings, which is not author/Zed by law ·
(A) There is no proposed order laying out the highway to
be signed by the Town superintendent as required by S 191 but only
a consent for the Town Board and Town Superintendent to sign. In
