The following letter was read to the Board: STATE OF N01 YORK DEPARTMENT OF .HEALTH November 4, -1953- Queensbury Town Board. c/o Mrs. Frances L. Turner, Town Clerk R.D. #1 Re : Grade III Water Works School Glens Falls, New York Gentlemen: A Grade III water works schopl. is being planned for December 15, 16: and 17 at Albany. This school will provide training for operators _ of water treatment plants at the Grade III level. There is no cost for the school itself and the ' only expense will be that incurred by the students for transportation or living expenses. It is recommended that you make arrangements to send, Mr. Ireland to this school if it is at all possible. An application is enclosed which should be completed and returned to me as soon as possible . ------- ---------- 251 Further details on the school will be sent to accepted applicants. The State Sanitary Code requires that where some water treatment process is-used, the operator should be qualified to carry out that particular treatment. It is possible to gain these qualifications by virtue of satisfactory experience alone but to be, considered satisfac- tory, the experience cannot be gained entirely through trial and error but mustbe under competent supervision. However;, even under these circumstances, the operator will require considerable time to acquire the necessary knowledge. It is preferable that a training session devoted to water treatment be attended for most efficient training. They are of benefit to the operator and to all of the persons using that water supply. At- the present time this water supply is without qualified super- vision as required by the Sanitary Code and this has been condoned as a matter of necessity since there were no trained people available nor ha e th ere been an wat er works schools conducted since over a year ago. I hope: that it will be possible to have Mr. Ireland attend this school and become qualified. Very truly yours, Edward Howard District Sanitary Engineer Resolution No. 134 introduced by Justice Bentley, seconded by Councilman Miller: RESOLVED that Mr.. Ireland be and is hereby authorized to attend the Grade III Water Works Schpol to be held on December 15, 16, 17, 1959 ,. in Albany• - - Further RESOLVED .that the actual and necessary expenses incurred by Mr'.. Ireland' in attending such school shall be a Town charge. Duly adopted by the following Vote; Ayes - Mr. $entley, Mr. Lampson, Mr. Akins, Mr. Miller, and Mr.. Gordon Nobs - none` _ G The monthly* statement of the Supergisor was. read and placed. on file: MONTHLY STATEMENT OF SUPERVISOR Date ' October, .1959 Amount Received Received RECEIPTS 10* 2: Qu4ensbury Drainage Account-Cover checks #126-Gen. $1250.00 1 Capital Reserve-Note .Resolution #117--Drainage 250.00 ` 2, Highway Fr. #18 & 19-Agency & Trust 181.51 ` 2 Pine View Fr. #17 & 18 Agency & Trust 2.5.24 ` 2 General Fr. #9- "° a 84.07 ' 2 Shore Colony -Water Dist.
