Police Department November 12, 1968 Town Board Town of Queensbury Gentlemen: - I have this day inspected the Junk Yard of Herbert Anderson located on the south side of Saunders road, the yard of Nelson Harrington on Sherman Avenue, and the yard of::-Alfred Alkes on Luzerne Road. I found that a fence has been erected enclosing three (3) sides of each yard, obscuring all junk cars from the public highway. These fences are crudely built of used metal sheet roofing, but reflect a marked improvement. It is my judgement that full compliance has not been met, however, I recommend a license be granted to each for the re- mainder of this year, to expire December 31, 1968. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Alkes have indicated either full compliance or discontinuance of their junk yards altogether by then.
