The only constables in this area are in West Glens Falls and North Queens- bury and `they do not service this area. _ Therefore to give proper protection to the taxpayers of South Queensbury we need a constable and I would like to apply for this posi- tion. S have for three years belonged to the constables' association. I have studied the laws as the state requires;- learned several defense procedures and first aid, and feel I am well qualified to handle all aspects of a constablel's duties of this area. I am a resident of South Queensbury and a voter in the township, stable.and married. I would appreciate your consideration of this application. Very truly yours, Lowell F.

Duly adopted by the following vote: Ayes - Mr. Miller, Mr. Bentley, Mr. Lampson, and Mr. Gordon. Noes - none I _ The following communication was read to the Board:: Miss Frances L. Turner Buena Vista Ave. R.D. Glens -Falls, N. Y. ' Mr. Ralph M. Nestle August 7, 1959 Assessor . Town of Queensbury 3 June Drive Glens Falls, N. Y. Dear Mr. Nestle:: Thank you for your letter of July 30th in which you explain your basis for increasing the assessment. We agree that you are entirely correct in utilizing 4% of the market value of any piece of property, and the improvements thereon, for assessment purposes . -and we have no objection as to the portion of tax that we pay in actual dollar value. However, we must insist that our assessment be strictly proportional to the assessments on other property. Now if you insist on adjusting the market value of a piece of property and the improvements thereon each time it passes hands, it will- undoubtedly ffiean that those pierces of prop- erty that do not change hands will gradually have a mach lower assessment. This is unfair. If you are going to reassess our property to the 1959 market value, then we must insist that other pieces of property in the area be reassessed also to the 1959 market value. In properly organized districts assessments are normally as= reassessed periodically and by reassessing an entire area at one time you are able to keep all the ' ' i owners' assessments in the same proportional value. This is the only fair way to handle this. In between reassessments the area is able td maintain its tax requirements by adjusting the mill rate to suit.. With reference to the transfer price shown when we took occupancy of this residence , we must advise you that there were. Certain other items which were included in the transfer price, such as, the strove, dishwasher, etc. The transfer price also included •the rental of the 'house for a period of six months. In my personal opinion I feel that you have been in 183 IRRE �He� r t e. tit` s $gd eft l ffifva4eatin the transfer. I repeat, I feel that the market value of our property shquld remain at the same market value it was previously, unless you intend to reassess the market value of all the houses in the immediate area.. It is only fair that we pay a tax in proportion to the market value of our house when determined at the same time as the market value of the adjoining; properties. You state that since we were not represented on Grievance Day, the assessment will stand for the purposes for this year and in January, 1960. This I consider also to be a highly dictatorial attitude. You pick out- in which a person is to report, without making any effort to determine whether or not that day happens to be suitable. In my ,case I was on the other side of the continent. I am sure that you are nqt so busy that you could not afford to have two or three, or, as I know of some cases on the West Coast, four separate days for grievances, spread one week apart. If you were to have a number of grievance days, then there would be justification for your saying that if a person were not represented, the tax would have to stand. Consequently, I feel perfectly in order and actually legally right in insisting that this question be reopened. I do not plan to allow you to reassess our property without reassessing the other property in the area., Again, I repeat, I have no objection to the assessment value on my, home as long as it is.in proportion to the assessed value of the other homes in the area. At the moment having done some preliminary checking in the area, I believe that ours is completely out of line. The only issue at hand.here is one of fairness and equality and if you can show me that my assessment is correct when considered in proportion to the market value in the area, why I would be quite happy to let the matter rest. I am sending a copy of this letter to the Town Councilmen and Town Clerk they in turn may consider the question of having only one . Grievance Day. If there were more than one Grievance Day, certainly one of may arguments against this reassessment would have been eliminated. My present plans are to be in Glens Falls during the week of .-- August 17,th, and I: trust that you will see -fit to favor me with a reply . and arrange for us to get together to discuss this matter further and to look at the comparative assessments of other properties sometime during that week. Sincerely yours, Is/ Oliver A. Laskso cc: Mr. Curtis Lampson Mr,. Stanley-R. Miller Miss Frances L. Turner In connection with the above communication the following copies of letters were enclosed therewith: Buena Vista Ave. R.D. #2 Glens .Falls, N. Y.- July 27, 1959 Board of Assessors Town of Queensbury 'Marren County Glens Falls, N. Y. - i Gentlemen: . I I I em, attaching. herewith a copy of the assessment notice, which you furnished to me on. the. 26th of June. This notice stipulated that the Board of Assessors would meet on the 2nd Tuesday of July. I had planned to attend this meeting in order to obtain additional information on the revised assessment, but.unfor- tunately business on the West Coast and in Mexico did not permit me to 184 return to Glens Falls in time to attend the meeting. I think you. can well understand that it would have been impractical fov me to fly home and then go back out to the Coast for a detail such as this.. However, I still wish to obtain information -on the increased assessment, First, ure note that you have specified our property as being on Miller Road. This seems like a rather inadequate description, and it may be that you have confused our property with someone else's. -Secondly, there have. been no modifications or improvements made to this property since the last assessment. Would you be so kind as to advise me, in writing, as to when we may arrange to sit down to discuss this subject in some detail. My present plans will allow me to be in Glens Falls on July 30th3, 31st, and throughout the week of Qugust 3rd to August. 8th inclusive. Your advice by return mail will be very Bch appreciated. Sincerely yours, cc : Town Council /s/ Oliver Laskso TOWN OF QUEENSBURY July 30, 1959 Oliver Laskso Buena Vista Ave, R.D. #2, Glens _Falls, N. Y.. My dear Mr. Laskso,. All assessments should reflect the market value of a parcel of property. In the Town of Queensbury W of the market value is used for assess- ment purposes. As the 1958 assessment roll will show, the board of Assessors felt that the parcel you just purchased would sell. for 448,000 on the open market, therefore, an assessment of $7,000 was used. -However„ the transfer sheet showing you as the new owner also showed that you paid $20_,000. Inasmuch as the Board'is prior appraisal was a little shy of the true market value, the- assessment was raised to $8,000 on the 1959 assessment roll to reflect this $20,000 sale price. You were not represented at Grievance Day and so this assessment will stand for tax purposes for this year and in January 1960.. If you feel there is an error someplace your board of assessors is always willing to listen prior to raking the new roll in 1960* Incidentally, Miller Road is the old name for Aviation Road and. appears as such on the old records maps. Respectfully, /s/ Ralph M. Nestle Assessor Town of Queensbury To Oliver Laskso R.D. #2., Glens -Falls, N. Y. Pursuant to Section 26-a of the Tax Law you are hereby notified that the assessment: of your property described on Miller Rd, has been increased. Tentative increased assessment $80000 Assessment previous year . . . . .7,200 Net increase of assessment 800 Dated . . . June, 1959 The assessors will meet on the second Tuesday of July next at . a'clock in the Queensbury Central School at 9 to-12 and 4 to 7 in the Town to hear and examine all complaints in relation to assessments on application of any person believing himself to be aggrieved. 185.

Beswick County Attorney COPY, Glens Fallss New York Dear Sir: In.connection with the improvement of the Meadow Run-Round Pond- Ridge Road, County Road to. 17, plans call for 'the relocation af a portion of this road across the lands of the Glens Falls Country Club to divert traffic away from the Club entrance. In order to accomplish this I understand that the Country Club officials are willing to deed the necessary right-of-way for this improvement to the County, providing the County will relocate a town highway running from the Club entrance to the south easterly side of Glen Lake. The proposed relocated town highway would commence at the junction of the- Country Club and Round Pond county roads and run north- erly across the properties of the Country Club and Elizabeth Mannis Swan, a distance of about 1700 feet, and at which point it would inter- sect the existing town highway above mentioned. Before the County undertakes to construct this proposed, new Town highway,.
