The Supervisor read the following letter and requested that it be inserted in the minutes: BROADACRES CIVIC ASSOCIATION Glens Fal is , N. Y. Nov; 30, 1960 Mr. John Webster Supervisor Townof Queensbury Dear Mr. Webster: It has been brought to my attention by several of our members 143 that a serious traffic hazard exists in our area. The spot in question is at the intersection of Coolidge Ave. and Ashley Place. The visi- bility is poor there because of trees and large ledge on one side of the road. This ` is much more dangerous in summer when the leaves- are on the trees and bushes. There are no traffic signs at the corner and there is always confusion as to who has the right of way. Many Queensbury School buses travel this route and several of our, own school children walk,or ride bikes through there on the highway as there is no sidewalk in this par- ticular area. We believe that a stop sign should be placed on Ashley Place requiring a full stop before entering Coolidge Avenue. Please investigate this situation and help us get a stop sign erected therebbefore we have a serious accident. Sincerely yours, Broadacres Civic Association M. D. Hanks; Pres. The Supervisor read a letter from Albert Beswick, County Attorney, The Supervisor retained the letter. The matter was referred to the Dump Committee, The Supervisor read a letter from Mr. Beswick relating to charges for legal services: ALBERT E. BESWICK Attorney at Law Glens Falls, N. Y.
