Re: Donald Higgins
Dear Roy: _
Sometime ago, you brought me a map of the Donald Higgins property
in Ridge Meadows which showed an encroachment of-the house over the
set back line,: and told me that Higgins had requested the Town to
convey to him a few feet of the highway which would extend- his property
line. At that time, I told you that the- Town had received the conveyance
from Tom Rogers and wife for highway purposes only and you certainly
could. not _convey any part of it without the consent of Rogers..
Mr. Higgins came to me and told me that Schenectady Savings Bank
had refused to approve a mortgage because of the encroachment and that
this had left him in a bad financial situation. I have had some corres-_
pondence with: the attorneys for the Schenectady Savings Bank and they
tell me that they will approve a conveyance by the Town. of Queensbury
Jointly with Tom Rogers and Cleo Rogers to Mr. Higgins to bring his
house within the set back Tine.
As I recall it, the highway at that point is considerably more
than fifty feet in width and you will still have ample land left for
the highway.
Will you please discuss this with the Town Board and advise me
whether you are-willing to make the conveyance requested.
Yours very truly,
/s/ Albert E. Beswick
