In re Cohalan
New York Supreme Court
Decided August 28, 1972PublishedCited by 7 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtGeorge F. McInerney, J.
This is a combined proceeding under section 91 of the Town Law to declare invalid a petition designed to require a mandatory referendum upon a resolution of the town board to acquire certain real property in Brentwood.
The major objections will be considered in turn.
The contention of the filer of the petition that the resolution of the town board dated July 5, 1972 was invalid because of inadequate notice to the councilmen was properly withdrawn upon the production of a certified copy of the prior resolution of the board dated May 24,1972 giving the required notice.
