The following letter was read by the Supervisor: The Stuart School Asbury Park, New Jersey Chief of Police Queensbury Police Dept. Bay Road Glens Falls, New York, 12801 Dear Sir: On Friday evening, May 26, my husband, Albert S. Acheson was involved in an accident with Richard Oliver. The young man' s language and behavior were beyond description and I would like to commend Patrolman Stannard for the way he handled the matter. He was most courteous and demanded the objectionable young man apologize to Mr. Acheson and myself for his behavior. At a time when the police in our country do not receive the respect and appreciation they deserve from the community, I would like to be a small voice to thank the young patrolman involved. Sincerely yours, Letitia M. Acheson President The following report for the month of May were read and placed on file in the Town Clerk' s office: Town Clerk, Building and Zoning, Highway, and Supervisor' s Report I Mr. Solomon asked the board to be prepared to act on a proposed Dog Ordinance next month prior to the start of budget sessions. The Ordinance would make it unlawful for a dog to wander off the property of its owner unless restrained on a leash or accompanied by its owner or other responsible adult. It also prescribes action against owners of dogs which damage property harass or otherwise intimidate people or habitually howl or chase cars. Mr. Solomon stated that the board should, make a decision before entering into budget deliberations because the ordinance would cost between $8000 and $10,000 to enforce because it will include. the engagement of a full time Dog Warden. At present the Dept. of Agriculture and Markets regulates dogs from dusk to dawn but there are no day time restrictions. Mr. Solomon stated that it is difficult for a part time Dog Warden to cover some 70 square miles of the town._ o The meeting was now opened to the public. Robert Stutz and Elliot Lawton of the Lake George Association were present and had a proposed ordinance to regulate motorboat speeds in different bays in the Lake which extend into the town but Mr. Solomon said it could not be adopted because it .conflicts with an earlier ordinance adopted by the town. Mr. Katz, Town Counsel explained that an ordinance adopted in 1971 prescribes five miles per hour in certain areas but does not mention the bays which are enumerated in the LGA"s proposed ordinance. Mr. Katz said he plans to contact Attorney Donald Borth, counsel to the Lake George Park Commission who- wrote the latest measure and ask him to resolve the ambiguities in one of the ordinances. Mr. Lawton explained that the wake of the boats traveling at high speeds. in Harris Bay are damaging the shoreline. Mr. Stutz explained that there are Federal regulations which say that the operators are liable for damage inflicted by the wake of their boats, but thie requires more .enforcement than the constabulary on the lake, can handle: He urged the board to adopt something definite before the boating season begins July 1st. Mr. Solomon assured him that the board is in agreement and would like to go 17 ahead, but no action will be taken until the ambiguities cited by Mr. Katz are eliminated.
