Mr. Adams then brought the Board up to date on a law suit
involving a dispute over ownership of certain property in
Chelsea, which lies within the Town of Wappinger, which was
commenced by Wallace Terwilliger. He was seeking to determine
title to an area of land known as North Street, An agreement
had been reached, which was previously approve4 by_the Board,;
whereby the Board would authorize settlement of action by the
Town acknowledging that they have no interest in the North Street
in litigation, and Mr. Twilliger would have no interest in the
North Street the Town maintains as a public highway. Mr. Adams
had researched title and went through the records in the Town
Clerks office and it appears the Town would have no interest or
claim for the North Street in question. Mr. Adams recommended
that the Board authorize the Supervisor to enter into a stipula-
tion settlement as indicated and that they further authorize the
Supervisor to execute a quit claim deed for the North Street in
litigation in exchange for a quit claim deed for the North Street
maintained by the Town.
MRS. MILLS moved that the Supervisor be authorized to follow the
procedure as previously outlined by the Attorney.
