The Southold Town Landmark Preservation Commission met at 7:30 P.M.
on May 22, at Town Hall. Present were John Stack, Ralph Williams,
William Peters and Joy Bear. Absent was Louis Black.
The minutes of the previous meeting - April 25 - were read and
approved .
Letters which will be sent to owners of houses the Commission
wishes to designate as landmarks have been printed . Each commissioner----
will send letters to the home owners who live in his area . To each
letter will be attached a copy of the Town law governing the designation.
One hundred copies of the law are needed .
John Stack thanked each member of the Commission for help in
preparing our presentation to the Town Board on May 6. The presentation
explained why the Commission was asking the Board for $7,000 to continue
SPLIA's excellent townwide house inventory through the fall. This will
bring the area covered by the ,inventory from Laurel to Albertson Lane,
Arshamomaque . Bill Peters had produced the printed statements used in
the presentation on his home computer. Ralph Williams had organized
them into an overhead projection presentation, and operated the machine.
John Stack gave the oral presentation.
Bob Long, a printer, had been asked by John Stack to prepare
a layout for a certificate the Landmark Commission will give each
home owner whose house has been honored by a landmark designation.
Mr Long presented a two-color layout on parchment which was quite
handsome. Some corrections of the wording were made . The estimated cost
was $2 .50 for each certificate if the recipient 's name was printed on
it, and $1. a sheet if it was not. In the latter event, names could be
lettered in calligraphy, or simply written in.

Moose Hall in Riverhead.
