Re: Timms - Sweet Road - Cart track Application
Gentlemen:
Today's Post-Star reports the above application as now under advisement
for later decision.
First let me state unreservedly that personally I have ,no objection to
legitimate fun and as such no objection to regulated racing anywhere-
however
After last evening's experience with the constant roar from unmuffled
exhaust noises recurring until well after dark on the lot from which this
application is presented, I personally, as well as many of the neighbors
in this vicinity on the Country Club Road are definitely opposed .to the
granting of this specific application.
Having had almost 2 years of Hollywood Muffler blasts day and night-the
peace of this community cannot submit to unmuffled cart-track noises which
will exist well into the night-provided they are not regulated and elimin-
ated--in the granting of this Timms application.
Regulate it--cut out and eliminate the ceaseless noise--and I will withdraw
my objections--a survey of the neighborhood will substantiate this objec-
tion from those in the immediate vicinity of the area under application.
Respectfully yours.
James D. Griffin

Re: Town of Queensbury vs. City of Glens Falls , et al
— Dear John:
I am not sure whether I have previously given you a copy of the
permanent injunction granted by Judge Sweeney in the above proceeding, but
in case I haven't, I enclose a copy.
Since this is the end, it brings up the matter of submitting a bill
78
for services and disbursements. After I had obtained the temporary
injunction and we had gone to the Appellate Division, which unanimously
affirmed the injunction, it appeared to me that there was no issue
left to be tried, but Frank Hurley, the City Attorney, as you know,
made a very determined effort on the trial to establish he right of
the City to maintain the dump on the land which they had purchased in
the Town of Queensbury. Judge Sweeney required both sides to file
briefs after the trial and this involved a considerable amount of
additional research. I have prepared and enclose a bill which seems to
me should be fair for the very considerable amount of time which has
had to be spent in this matter.
Yours very truly,
Albert E. Beswick
County Attorney-Warren

Attention: Town Board -
Gentlemen:
I have discussed with your Mr. George Liapes the problem he is
having with high pressure on your fire hydrants since the installation
of the new pump and motor.
To correct this situation I would recommend a by-pass system be
installed at the pump with an adjustable relief valve. The by-pass
system should be of 2" size with a 2" relief valve set for 120 lbs.
The valve would be adjustable by a. hand wheel to a plus or minus 20%
of the original setting.
You will find attached a quotation covering the recommended relief
valve.
If I can be of any further service please .feel free to call on me.
