Road, Route 9L,. between the Glens Falls City line and a point 2224 feet
northerly therefrom, as established by our order, dated August Iii}, 253.
A study of traffic conditions was conducted in this locatio.
Roadside development is below the minimum number of units consider-
. ;

ed the standard for the efficient operation of a speed zone. In li
Of this and lack of. other read factors
which would r®Q ii.re reduced
gh
speeds, we are of the opinion that Ccem.ssion action to increase the
length of the present restriction is not jilsti.fiable.
The Commission has a program underway which provides for the
eventual revaluation of all existing s restri c ti ons es State high-
ways to maker them reasonable and realistic :tor present conditions.
In this connection, the regulation established by the above order of
August 16 was reviewed, and based On existing conditions it has been
found that instead of the 30 NM speed
speed limit is app limit how in effect, a 35 MPH rpriate. We., therefore, have revised our order -
accordingly. A copy of the order is enclosed for the Town's records.

JDear Roy:
Phrsuant to your telephone call I have revised the ordinance reg-
ulating use of your town dump to include a prohibition against the dump-
ing of garbage. I.have also included in the ordinance a prohibition.
_against the dumping of sewage. There is quite a business -of pumping out
septic tanks and cesspools, and your town dump would make a handy place
to dispose of the contents of these pump tanks. I don't known that this
would ever happen but since you are protecting your dump you might well
consider adding this. I enclose three copies of draft of proposed ordi-
nance and will ask you to destroy the ones previously sent to you.
You also asked as to draft an ordinance establishing a set-back line.
The power of a town board to adopt ordinances is contained in Section 130
of the Town Law. It has been held that the power of a town board to legis-
late by. adoptina ordinances is strictly limited to the subjects contained
in the Town Law. There is nothing in Section 130 which would cover set-
back lines. So far as I can find the only authority to establish a set-
`— back line is-contained.in Section 261 of the Town Law, which permits the
adoption of a zoning ordinance, and accordingly, it is my opinion you will
not be able to adopt an ordinance establishing a set-back line individually
of a zoning: ordinance..
Yours very truly,

Re: Sveet Road
Dear Roy.-
You have asked me about the rights of the Town of Queensbury in
the crossing of the sa-called Sweet Road over the fdrmer..D & R Rail-
road, and so far as I have been able to learn the Sweet Read has never
been accepted by the.Town of Queensbury as a town highway, and.. althouo
this Road has been pled during the pest few years and the Tom saper-
. intendant has this year done some weak on the Road, this is net se2Yi-
cient to make it a public highway. Based on this information, it is my
opinion that the Sweet Road is a private read. The use of a private
road by the public without hindrance may resal.t• in public easement of
use without making it a town highway.
Under these circumstances, the Town of Queensbury would have no
right and title in the railroad crossing, and. you will probably have
to acquire from Mr. Martin, the present owner of the former. D & Ik
property, title to such piece of his land as you may require-for laying
out S veert Road.
Yours very truly,
Albert B. Beswick

authorizing the borrowing of #254.22 for the Queens bury Drainage District,,
which amount is to be included in your 1960 budget. With-this budget note
resolution is a second reso;Lation authorizing; the investment of X252.02
of year capital reserve fUnd for the purchase of, the budget note. Also
enclosed is the original budget note. This will enable you to replace the
monies which you have temporarily taken from your general fund.
L hove also drafted and enclose- the original and copy Of an ordinance
regulating the se' of the town dump. This follows the one which I drafted
several years ago and which, I understand, was never adopted,. but I have
added Section. 6 which prohibits the discharge of firearms. If this ordinance
is net satisfactory I should be glad to revise it, but when-it is in final
form the: Town Glark should give notice of public hearing on the proposed
ordinance. After the ordinance has Teen adapte4 they entire ordinance has
to be published and a copy p9sVe4 off, the Town lerk'`s bulletin board.
