New Attack Leveled On Land Decision
The Scarsdale Village Board faced sharp criticism at a public hearing over the decision not to buy the Scarsdale Supply Company land. Spencer Scott quoted Governor Dewey on redress for citizens and argued hearings must reflect public opinion. Mayor Alden C. Smith defended hearings as part of the Master Plan process, insisting representation does not require obedience to a majority’s view. Other residents urged caution and urged continued hearings while a green belt cost share was debated for Post and Oxford roads.
