Town of Queensbury, of New York Re: Town dump and policing same Dear'Sirs; As a�resident of Queensbury and one who would like to see our town kept glean, it seems only proper that I sfiould inform you as to what I have seen happen several times at or near the dump, About July 12th, sometime in the early evening, I saw a�pickup truck t loaded with rubbish with two fellows in the cab. Seeing the dump was closed and locked I thought they would drive away, but instead one fellow got out .with a sledge harpmgr and broke the chain. On July. 20th at. about 530 g,. m.,, as. I was going to Gwinup's Store, I saw a new station wagon at the dump gate. A women got out with a large green bag and stepped up to the fence, she then turned and walked across the road and threw the bag into the ditch. I drove back to ,the dump entrance Ind she admitted to me that she had thrown the bag into the ditch but would not pick it up. After I said I would report her, she dld,,pick.,it up but was very. angry, j Could I su gg est that pr9per publicity be put in the newspaper and on the radio about the hours of 'dumping and that violators will be fined for, dumping after the .dome is ,closed„or. along our..roads, _ I think also that one„of our policemen, or,constebles .should be, located, two or three evenings each week for several weeks to catch these violators and make examples of them. For something more pleasant, I would like to commend. the Town Dump Committee, the Town Board and the Highway Superintendent for the operation of the dump the ,past..several months,, We,,«that„ live ,close by appreciate not having the smoke, the smell or _the rats. In clo n g s and someth..in g for. the fu . Lure r to beau of the -entrance to the dump, it would,be nice to,hove" a row of evergreens extended on either side of the gate across the mouth of the entrance. With kind regards, I remain Sincerely, John L. Bowman Star Route, Glens Falls, N. Y. July 20, 1964 .John 0. Webster & members of the Town Board, Town of Queensbury.

The average daily consumption of-water pumped from our wells is 702,714 gallons per -day. This information shows that the Water District is using far in excess of the estimated 2509000 to 300;00 gallons per day. We still have to supply the water to the area of<our Water-District which is still being served by the City of Glens Falls. Quaker Road, Ridge Road, Glen Street, etc. We have yet to supply water to the completed Nor hway Shopping-Plaza, the Broughton Factory on Quaker Road,-and all the area along our- Water District mains, that is now vacant property. We are committed to supply water to the new College and the other developments along Bay Road. I-feel that great care should be taken when considering any future extensions to this Water District. We have to allow —' a safety margin for pump failures, power failures and fire flow reservers. At the present rate of daily c sumptionthe . standby well and auxiliary motor are worthless.

As everyone is well aware, this ordinance has beenldrafted and redrafted, and changed, after consultation with ma y� persons and groups, after many conferences with the Town Planning Board which —' undertook all of the- initial work, - and only after he most careful thought. It is a,Town of}.QC emsbuxy artdinanee,- drawn-up to meet the°--.gee4s, of our town,P and shoud.d set.,be confu-sed with the.-laws or regulations- of any other-,commmunity% The Town Zoard bas-been-motivated to-astio -in the matter,with,.no purpose eft-�to d what so t© be in-- t o best. ntere�,t of ou;c_ growiaL&Xowa.

All-present 'owners-,of.,mobile._homes, not located- in., mobile home courts may continue as at'present'by register"in their motile home with the Town Clerk. From now on, any. person who wishes'to locate a mobile home in the town of Queensbury, outside of a mobile home court, must secure a peiamit from the Town Board before doing so. , Queensbury is growing so fastrthat.we all-.have more neighbors than we used to, and we have to get along with each other. ) to some instances this may mean that we must give�.up a few of our "rights" to live as we please for the good of our community. this groups have asked that we postpone' ordinance and work on zoning. Zoning is an integral part of- the 701 program in which the town planning board is already engaged. The planning board concurs in the need for the mobile home ordinance now, while detailed study of all aspects of land use in the town goes on. We want to thank the members of the Planning Board for the amount of work they done in the development of this ordinance, and also the many interested citizens of the town who have offered suggestions and advice. 253 We are confident that the ordinance will be implimented fairly, and will prove in the months ahead to be in the beet interest of the great majority of the people of the town. The ordinance+ will` be published in full in the newspapers and then printed copies will be available.. from the Town Clerk within a few days. John 0.
