After the reading of the budget Supervisor Solomon pointed out that fire
protection cost to the town is very minimal for the number of companies
in the community. The new figure for fire protection in the budget is now
$71,517.00. He stated that in other towns the size of ours with a population i
of over 15,000 and covering 70 square miles of land fire protection would
be in the -neighborhood of $500,000. The people of Queensbury should be
aware of this and they should donate generously to them even though they
are volunteers. Increases also are covered for the three ambulance
companies in the town, and covers insurance, compensation and liabilities.
