Supervisors,
Town of Qaeensbury,;
Warren County, I .Y.
Gentlemen- 4
I regret not being able to meet with you in person this -ovd ing,
but another engagement prevents that. Therefore, I am asking may
farmer and handy-man, Mr. Marvin rsn8i1.3-e, to pr®sent this
letter to you*
The storyirierfly is that about a, year ago I -met with-'� a group,
here, and ezp].aines the situation on the- Dixon road wbs1*9 in order `
to remove a dangerous curve, it was necessary-to tape ' 0me of my
land but without my permission Cat the peak of the f&=),$, thereby
spoiling at least one building Tot. Inasmuch as it appears that
there is some land on the west side of the road as it comes up the
28
hill and which is not needed, this was to be turned over to me in
preference to any cash paypent.. It was my understanding that the
matter would be handled in this wag as soon as the engineer could
draw a maps and, your attorney would then draw up the papers , as I
want to replace the old fence with a new one, but as yet it seems
the papers are not ready and I do hope that prompt steps can be
taken to adjust this situation.
Very respectfully yours,
/sl Fred B. Chapman.

Town B.oard,,
Iowa of Queensbury,;
,Warren County, N.Y.
Gentlemen::
This refers to your recent request that speed be restricted
on the-Glen Lake Road, a. Torn Highways. between Bay Road and Route
US 9 in-.the Town of Queensbury.,, 'Marren County.
Investigation indicates that this is a winding road with num-
erous sharp grades. As such, it is not conducive to excessive speed.
Marginal development consists of only 45 residences and 2 commercial
establishments in a distance of 3.8 miles, which is far below
normal warrants for a speed restriction.
The road: appears typically rural in character,, and we find no
basis for action. by this Commission to restrict speed. We regret that
your request, mst therefore be denied.
Very truly yours ,.
