Box 86 Glens Falls, New York Subject: Queensbury Water District Project APW-NY-52G Dear_ Mr. Webster: Since I was unable to reach your office by telephone this afternoon, I am sending this information by ma il. Today I called Mr. John C. Thompson of the Water Resources Commission regarding the possibility that the Commission would render a decision in the matter of the petition of the Queensbury Water District prior to their meeting of June 6. Mr. Thompson said that there was no chance of their meeting before that date to consider the petition. I called the Housing and Home Finance Agency in New York City, and spoke to a Mr. Lee whom I told about our problem of not being able to obtain an opinion from the bonding attorneys before receiving the decision of the Water Resources Commission. I told Mr. Lee that it would be necessary for us to begin construction on June 1 to meet our 120-day deadline, and asked him whether we could have approval of the HHFA to begin construction before receiving the opinion of toe bonding attorneys. He replied that work could be started at the Town's risk. He gave me the impression that the decision of the Commission and the opinion of the bonding attorneys are matters of formality, and that there would be no great risk involved. He did say, however, that the thing to do is to write to Mr. Richardson J. Thompson (Attention of Mr. Fay) Regional Director of Community Facilities, HHFA, 346 Broadway, New York 13, New Xork, requist.ing an extension of two or three weeks and explaining fully the reason for the request. Mr. Lee said that the letter should be written by you as Supervisor and authorized representative, and that it should be sent at once. If we can be of further assistance with this matter, please let us know. Very truly yqurs, Otto E. Kuhl Associate Engineer Arrangements were discussed to do with making a direct contact with the Housing and Home Finance Agency in the manner of a pre- arranged interview with the directors of the agency. 'A suggestion was advanced that Mr. Albert E. Beswick the Attorney, Mr. John 0. Wge.bgterthe Supervisor and Mr. ,Joseph A. Kestner Jr. , the engineer would Uisit the agency at an early date. On motion the meeting was adjourned. Respectfully submitted George C. Crannell Town Clerk
