Councilman Robertson, calling attention to-the large number of one-
year permits that had been granted, asked that the board and the
building inspector set up a calendar so that whatever board exists
445
a year from now will know what permits are expiring. He warned that
inaction at that time could set a dangerous precedent.
The meeting was opened to the public. Mr. Clifford Witham took the
floor to discuss alleged violations of the zoning ordinance and alleg-
ed inaction .on the part of Mr. George Liapes, the building inspector.
Mr. Witham said he had passed on to Mr. Liapes three complaints in
witing and pointed out that the ordinance calls for immediate investi-
gation of such complaints. He did not directly identify the construction
projects to which he was referring but indicated that they were located
on Lake George property in which he formerly had an interest. He men-
tioned expansion of docks,- construction of a gasoline depot and prepara-
tions for a sewage plant, charging that work was going on with no
semblance of a permit and beyond the 50 per cent limit established
by the ordinance for non-conforming uses. Clifford B. Witham III
contrasted the handling of his father' s complaints with an incident
in which he himself was involved concerning the fast action that was
. needed to get a permit to install a swimming pool on which he was
working. Mr. Solomon stated that the matters would be turned over
to the Building Department.
The Activity Reports of the Queensbury Police Department for the
months of April and May were placed on record.
A public referral to the department was made by Councilman Austin
who asked for an investigation of unauthorized vehicles on town roads
in the Cottage Hill area.
Supervisor Solomon warned again that there are no licensed magazine
salesmen in the town and suggested that the public be wary of un-
licensed transiet septic tank cleaners reportedly charging by the
cubic inch.

Supervisor Solomon pointed out that water use is now regulated by
directives from the Water Department which is currently restricting
automatic sprinklers and soakers to the hours of 5 to 8 P.M. but
that hand-held hoses could -be used anytime during the day or night.
He stated that a public hearing was set for July 2 on an ordinance
restricting use of automatic lawn sprinklers and soakers.
Councilman Robertson referred to census figures published recently
indicating an increase of more than 25% in the town' s population
in the past 10 years. "This is showing up in our water system",
he said. "We have been aware of this growth and are working as -
diligently as we can to alleviate problems." The Town hopes to
hear soon from its applications for federal grants to develop a
source of supply from the Hudson River. In the meantime, we ask
the cooperation of all in conserving water. We hope the restrictions
do not have to become more severe. Adequate water for fire protection
and domestic use must take priority. We think we can live with the
present restrictions, but if we can' t we will have to take more steps.
RESOLUTION No. 147 to set a public hearing on an ordinance restricting
the use of lawn sprinklers within the Town is not available at this
time but will be forth coming from Attorney Harold Katz and will be
