Public Service Commission Proposed for Westchester County
The Board of Supervisors heard a proposal from the Boston Post Road and Southern Westchester Associations to create a Public Service Commission. It would oversee utility regulation and respond to the 40 percent commuter rate hike proposed by New York Central Lines. County Attorney William A. Davidson said a legal opinion was not ready, with talk of possibly requiring special legislation. The transit committee will review the proposal and a Mount Vernon request to replace wooden train cars with steel ones for tunnel safety. Also, the board adopted a $25,000 appropriation for a new Martine Avenue public office building to cover excavating and part of the architect fees.
