Sale at Public Auction of a Parcel of Land Situated in the Village of Mount Kisco, Town of Bedford, County of Westchester. The Deputy and Acting Comptroller presented the following report and offered the following resolution: To the Honorable the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund: July 21, 1916. Gentlemen-I am in receipt of a communication to the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund from the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, in which they state that they have been negotiating with the Town of Bedford and the Village of Mt. Kisco, in relation to the construction of a sewer in Sutton's Row, in the Town of Bedford for the disposal of sewage from the houses on the lands abutting Sutton's Row. The Commissioner states that this sewer is to connect with the sewer system of the Village of Mt. Kisco, and the sewage is to be disposed of at the disposal works operated by the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity in the Village of Mt. Kisco. The said Department is endeavoring to bring about the construction_and maintenance of the Sutton's Row sewer, at the expense of the Town of New Bedford. The Commissioner further states that to reach the nearest connecting point in the Mt. Kisco sewer system it will be necessary to pass through private property for a distance of approximately 180 feet, and that the department considers that that portion of the sewer connecting with the Sutton's Row sewer and the sewer system of the Village of Mt. Kisco should be installed and maintained at the expense of the City. The property through which this portion of the sewer would be constructed is owned by William H. Nelson, of Mt. Kisco, New York. Intersecting other properties owned by Mr. Nelson southwesterly, the City owns a strip of land approximately 50 by 663 feet, extending from the highway westerly to the right-of-way of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad. Located within this strip is a section of the sewer system, the construction of which was authorized by chapter 428 of the Laws of 1907. This strip of land the Commissioner of the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity states is not required or necessary for the purposes of his Department, and Mr. Nelson has agreed to grant to the City a ten foot permanent easement through his property, in which as above stated, the connecting section of the sewer will be laid, providing the City will release to him the property owned by it above mentioned, the City retaining to itself a permanent easement of ten feet through the center thereof. The property owned by the City contains an area of 0.722 acres, and has been appraised by the Division of Real Estate of this Department at $300. The ten-foot easement which the City retains is valued at $150. The strip across Mr. Nelson's land is approximately 10 by 180 feet, and has been appraised at $164. In my opinion, this proposition of Mr. Nelson's is very advantageous to the City. In order to take advantage of the same it will be necessary, however, to have the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund authorize the sale at public auction of the premises to be released to him, and the Board of Estimate and Apportionment authorize the purchase by the City of the premises needed. I therefore respectfully recommend that the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund authorizes a sale at public auction of all that certain piece or parcel of land situated in the Village of Mt. Kisco, Town of Bedford, County of Westchester and State of New York, known as Parcel No. 2-Sb on Plate No. 165 of the "Atlas of Lands used for Water Supply Purposes in Westchester County," on file in the office of the Commissioner of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, and bounded and described as follows: Beginning at a point on the westerly side of lands of The City of New York, said point being on the northeasterly corner of Parcel No. 2-Sb, which corner is located 435 feet, more or less, southerly along said westerly property line of the lands of The City of New York, from the northerly line of the Village of Mt. Kisco; thence south 81 degrees 28 minutes west 610.10 feet to the easterly boundary of parcel No. 2-B on said plate No. 165; thence south 39 degrees 19 minutes west 74.5 feet along the easterly boundary of said parcel No. 2-B to the southerly boundary of lands of The City of New York; thence north 81 degrees 28 minutes east 648.03 feet to a point; thence northerly at right angles to the last mentioned course, a distance of 50 feet to the point or place of beginning, containing within said bounds 0.722 acre, more or less; it being understood that the City retains to itself an easement ten feet in width through the entire length of the above described premises for the reconstruction, maintenance and repair of the present sewer line. -at a minimum or upset price of $300, which I deem to be a fair appraisal of the value thereof, and upon the following terms and conditions: The highest bidder will be required to pay ten per cent. (10%) of the amount of the bid, together with the auctioneer's fees at the time of the sale, and ninety per cent. (90%) upon the delivery of the deed, which shall be within sixty (60) days from the date of the sale. The deed so delivered shall be in the form of a bargain and sale deed without covenants. The Comptroller may at his option resell the property if the successful bidder shall fail to comply with the terms of the sale, and the person so failing to comply therewith will be held liable for any deficiency which may result from such resale. The right is reserved to reject any and all bids. Respectfully, ALBERT E. HADLOCK, Deputy and Acting Comptroller. Resolved, That pursuant to the provisions of section 205 of the Greater New York Charter as amended, the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund hereby authorize and order a sale at public auction, of all that certain piece or parcel of land situated in the Village of Mount Kisco, Town of Bedford, County of Westchester and State of New York, known as Parcel No. 2-Sb on Plate No. 165 of the "Atlas of Lands used for Water Supply Purposes in Westchester County," on file in the office of the Commissioner of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, and bounded and described as follows: Beginning at a point on the westerly side of lands of the City of New York, said point being on the northeasterly corner of Parcel No. 2-Sb, which corner is located 435 feet, more or less, southerly along said westerly property line of the lands of the City of New York from the northerly line of the Village of Mt.
