1961-12-31 SP 52 This house was built by the same contractor as built a house on Pershing Road from the same pjan$ and specifications. The Pershing Road house is assessed at` $30,000 market value or $129,000. The Horican Ave. , house is assessed by the City at $8000. The house on Horican Ave., (in the City) pays a 'school tax of $288.32 while the house in the Town pays $46O.82,'(thia includes the surcharge of $2.37) It .certainly would seem' .that such an inequity could be and should be corrected. Further exploration with Mr. Bergaron of Lqualia&tion is warranted. ' Respectfully submitted . Stanley B. Miller Chairman On motion the meeting was adjourned • Geor C.

Crannell Town Clerk Town of Queensbury December 30, 1961 Report of the Supervisor to -the. Town Board: In this second "year endtl. report to the Board, Ism pleased to state once again that we are closing out the year in good financial condition. An attached listing of .all bank balances will reflect this fact. (over) 57 I want to particularly point out that we have.nowinereased our working balance-in the General Fund to $119,677.79 from $3,983.30 the previous year, which I consider a- more realistic figure for a town of our size and needs. _ The financial report indicates that the board should give some thought to several items - such as what disposition should be made of; or investment-policy followed, with regard to the Capital Reserve Funds. At a meeting early in 1962 I will make further comments as to our program for the year ahead, but I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank each of you for the cooperation shown during the past year. In addition to the work of the members of this board, I feel that through the dedicated efforts of our Highway Superintendent, our- Water Superintendents, and the other elected and appointed Town Officials, that we have made continued progress in a somewhat difficult period. This year has required increased effort to make an avderly and proper transition to a Town of the First Class - in addition to all the other problems pertaining to our rapidly growing township, such as the new election districts, and related highway, water, and sub- division matters. A tribute is certainly in order to the two members who are now retireing- from the board. To Meredith Bentley - who has been a valuable member of this board for longer than I can remember. And to Stanley Miller - who has made a great contribution through his efforts and service on important commitee posts during the period of the past four year$. With my own experience on the board limited to the past two years, I am somewhat handicapped in delving back into prior years, but it should be said that you will both be missed here on this board, and we hope that in our aew status as a Town of the First Class that you both will continue to serve our town in some capacity for many years to come.
