Mr. Liapes entered into a discussion to do with a recent billing for water service received from. the City of Glens Falls . The supervisor provided the board with a three year resumee of water billings for a comparison to the billing in question. The Superintendent was questioned as to how often he_reads the meters with the officials from the city. Mr. Liapes stated that he had not done so in the past six Months. The record book in use by the Water Superintendent was studied by the board, with the fact in mind that _a new record book will be needed at' an early date'. A_lengthy discussion oh all aspects of what 3rype of a book should be supplied all Water Superintendents took place at this time. A suggestion was wade that the .Water Superintendents _should canvass the districts to be sure al , customers are being billed properly. A possible inventory of the facilities being. used by all customers will be investigated at a later date. " October 23, 1962 Mr. John 0. Webster, Supervisor Chestnut Ridge Road Glens Falls, N. Y.

The deed from Kreiser should have been to the Town of Queens- bury acting for and in behalf of Drainage District #1 of the Town of Queensbury since a town improvement district is not a municipal corporation.

You should sign your name on the two lines indicated and have, the. notary public sign both acknow- ledgments.
