duties`will be-eaercfaed within the Town limits sub-
ject to the regulations of said BOARD and the duly
elected Justices of Peace:.. -
2. The writer has•been both a summer resident and permanent
mxUsnt in the Tim for a period of 31 years and is per
sonilly acquainted with numerous residents, birth an Lake
George property and throughout all sections of the Town.
3. As a resident in this Tam, I have offered my services to
help bettet the County- conditions and feel, were this
appointment made, I could do much to reduce abuses of
Town property such.'as littering, destruction of signs and
virolatioms of Town ordinances, etc.
4. It is evident that the Town has grown rapidly and request-
ing county or state police aid especially durir4r the
sir months, except in extreme cases, is almost out of
the' question, as they are exceedingly-busty during these
periods ga#,troling and enforcing the law in heavily pep►
