The Board copvened at 7:30 P.M.
John 0. Webster, tax collector, also present.
- Mr. Webster gave the members of the Board. a copy of the following letter:
To: All Members of the Board
Town of Queensbury
It is my understanding that it is recommended that all Totem Officers
make and file an annual report of the activities of their respective
offices. rdith t'his in mind , I re!7 ect_fully submit hersi<.Tith my report
as Collector, Tot,m of Queensbury, for the period January 1, 1958 to
June 1, 1958:
TOTAL ArViOUNT OF THE TAX s,'ARRANT X661,569.3"
Resident Taxes paid to Collector $4830645,29
Franchise 'Taxes paid directly to County Treas. 710575.26
Regulating Dist. Tax directly to County Treas. 491,475.96
State Lands returned to County Treas. unpaid 21.16
Resident Taxes returned unpaid to County Treas . 56,251,71
Total . . ... . . . . . $6610569.37
Of the item of $483,;645.29 which represents total Tax payments received.
by my office , $193,;877.70 was turned over to the Town Supervisor, and
the bal,nce of ,$289,767.59 was turned over to the Warren County Treas-
urer,, iV accordance with my warrant. In addition to these tax receipts,
Penalty receipts for the period totalled $1;415.77, and this amount
was turned over to the Town Supervisor in accordance with the law.
The taxes returned unpaid to the Warren County Treasurer inithe amount
of $56,851.71 represented 765 unpaid items (out of the total of approx-
imately, 5,500) . For comparison purposse , in- 1957 the respective figures
were $46+,497.00 unpaid , with 885 items, and in 1956 it was $46,861.00
with 931 items. I feel that the results obtained from the mailing out of
the May lst tax reminders fully justified the additional work and
expense involved , and 1 recommend that the Board authorize that this be
continued again this year.
In addition` to thes=e statistical figures , I make the follow ng comments
and recommendations :.
Based on my experience of this first year in office , I have filed a
budget estimate with the Town Clerk, in accordance with_ the law, and I
attach a copy herewith. Some, of the items in this budget estimate may.
properly belong in some other category of the Town Budget, such as
printing, insurance , advertising, etc. , however, I am listing all known
expenditures concerning my office for your information.
I respectfully request the Town Board to consider the purchase of some
office equipment for the office of the Tax Collector. At the present
�r time, there is no office equipment whatever. By using my own typewriter,
letter file and desk, and by borrowing a toem adding machine from the
Chairman of the Board of Assessors , I have made out, and can continue
to coo so if necessary this coming ytear. I believe, however, that it
woul=d be advisable to have a fire resistive letter file , or safe, wherein
the ,records and at least some of the supplies of the .Collector' would be
t _ ,
it '
kept. If a ,fire occurred at the Colector's residence or office at any
time during the 5 month period of collection chaos could result. It
would be virtually impossible to determine who had paid or who had not
paid their taxes. A 4 drawer fire resistive file would cost approxi-
mately 71.70.00. I Piave put that amount in my budget estimate for office
supplies.
Perhaps I should point out that in addition to the need for a fire resis-
tive place for the safe.--keeping of records , the file - is needed for
correspondence as well. So far this year I have received and answered
over 450 written letters -and inquiries 'concerning taxes. These are- in
addition to the over 700 individual tax problems or changes in the
assessment roll that have been received by my office and which have
been turned over to the town assessors or the Warren County Bureau of
Local Assessment for proper disposition. Many of these inquiries- con-
cerned problems or changes that have been in need of attention for
several years , according to the persons reporting the requests.. I have
endeavored to handle this correspondence and these requests for re --
vision of the tax roll in an orderly manner and in the interest of the
taxpayers concerned_. I think that it would also be in their interest
that these records be. properly filed in a safe place.
Although `this first year in office has had its share of problems it has
also been interesting and rewarding, and I want to take this opportunity
to thank the other officers and officials - of the Town for their part in
mak�.ng it so.
Respectfully submitted,
` . . . . . . . . . . . . fs/ John O. Webster
