APPLICATION, CONSENT OF T0~ BOARD, RELEASE OF D~GES. HERBERT FORD HAM I I I BROADWAY NEW YORK ~ay 11, 1931 .~r. John Hoffman Greenport, 1~. Y. Dear Mr. Hoffman: Enclosed please find copy of the papers in the mat- ter of Beach Road. In this matter the refusal of tl~e Town Board 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 or do they not ? (2) Do they wish would be benefactors of the town, who expend from $1200 to $1500 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 town of- ficials to accept and to lay cut the highway iS as follows: Mrs. Fordham and I did not sign the illegal and im- proper release submitted to us by Mr. George C. Terry, town 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 © Nr. ~ohn Hoffman -~-, May 11, 1951 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. They 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 resorting to urgent measures - I was preparing for a long absence - ! succeeded in getting the papers from him. Before he drew them I offered to bet Otto Van Tuyl twenty five to one that he would make at least one error. This offer Mr. Van Tuyl wisely declined. There are more errors than one: (1) My name is given as #Henry" in two places - an excel- lent name but not mdne. (2) The release was not a release for highway purposes but an absolute conveyance. (3) 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 authorized 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.
