Dear Roy:.
_ Enclosed is, deed from' Ft.' Amherst' Realty Company; Inc. to Town

public utility and under the jurisdiction of the Public Service Com-
mission, any assessment against water mains woul'd..have` to be on the

Queensbury planned, at some future date., to drill •a new well or wells
on your property, west of the proposed ONorthwayu to svApmt your present
water supply.. In accordance with agreement reached at -that meeting, this
office agrees to issue a temporary permit allowing access to -your
property from the southbound lanes of the new highway for drilling equip-
ment and necessary supplies when the Town wishes to drill new wells.
Following the establishment of .a well.-on the portions of your property
west of the Northway, we agree to issue temporary permits as needed for
access of heavy equipment for emergency repairs of same. -
It is understood and agreed that no access from the Northway will
be permitted for personnel,. except those required for the movement of
vehicles carrying equipment and supplies. All other personnel necessary
for the construction or repair of wells , water lines, and so forth, must
obtain access through the proposed underpass, leading from the eastern

access from the Northway will be permitted for routine maintenance work
and that the above permits will be issued solely for access by heavy
equipment required for new construction work or emergency repairs , re-
quiring heavy equipment.
Under the construction contract, we will grade a portion of the
slope so that heavy- equipment can readily be moved from the new highway to
the property on the west. When the above permits are issued , State Police
supervision for movement from and to the Northway will be arranged by
this office. We would appreciate receiving confirmation of the above
arrangement.

Dear Sir:.
We are forwarding one print each of Sheets 105, 106 and 119 of the
138
contract plans for construction of Interstate Route 502 from the
Hudson River to Gurney Lane in Warren County. These sheets show the
location of all conflicts between water service of the Town of Queens-
bury and our proposed highway, and show the relocation and reconstruct-
ion we propose to do to your facilities. Briefly this work consists of:
1. Aviation Road
(a) Lay new 6! water main north of the existing main to a point
approximately 451 from each main line pavement.. Connect new main to
existing main and reestablish house service connections. Plug at the
main house services to be abandoned. Change elevations of existing valve boxes.
(b) Lay approximately 28OiLF of 1211 C.I. water main with mechan-
ical joints .under .the main line pavement. . -
2. Provide an underpass on the site of your proposed water supply
System.
Since the -rock under 1(b) is considered a betterment to the present
system, it will be necessary for the Town to deposit with the State
Comptroller a certified check in the amount of $1400.00 which repre-
sents our estimated difference in cost between laying new 6" and 120
water main. When final accounting is made, any excess deposit will be
refunded or in the event of a deficit the. Town will reimburse the
State Comptroller for the amount in excess. of the deposit. The exist-
ing 611 main is to be abandoned and not salvaged.
Specifications for this work will be those as approved by the
City of Glens Falls.
t We request that you review these plans and inform us of your
approval. Please incorporate this statement in your reply: "The Town
Board, Town of Queensbury has approved the plans for this work and it
is agreeable that the state perform this work on their facilities , as
shown on the plans and proposal.,* Also, please state: "This work does
not involve a major or independent aggment, of the Town-of Queensbury
water system.", This latter statement will obviate' the necessity for
computing depreciation on the present system. Please state further that
the Town of Queensbury will assume maintenance. responsibility for all
facilities upon which work has been done when our contract has been
completed.
We shall appreciate. your cooperation in presenting these matters
to the Town Board and request an early reply.. Since the proposed let-
ting date for this contract is April 23, 1959 , it will be necessary to
have your check deposited with the Comptroller by that date.
Very truly yours.,
