Mr. fit. Rtssell Ra,rris, Supervisor November 5, 1956 Town of Weensbu.ry Star Route Glens Falls, New York Dear Mr. Harris: More than six months have elapsed since I first brought to atten- tion the fact that the storm sewer running throw � your t 20 __. through my property at 2E3 Fort Anhe'rst Road was not functioning. Where this sewer cones from, or here it flows to, I do not known but,, at _my own expense,, I have had it explored so far as possible with a "sewer snake" and it is free and clear, west of X49 property, at least ,twenty-five feet.-and east of my property, to the center of North Road. As yo2 know, I: have contacted you by phone and in person a number of times this summer and I went to one Town Board Meeting so that all mem- bers of the Town Board-would be acquainted with the situation. You have promised me repeatedly that you would do something about this and at this Town Board Meeting the latter part of September, action was promised the following week but, like all other promises, this was not kept. If' the: Town of Qaegnnslrury does not care to maintain this sewer, it can be dud up at the w9at and of my property and plugged and you can then deal with whatever eventualities develop with property owners west of ne, but I certainly see no reason why I, a private property owner,, should: maintain.a town sewer which does not service my property. Inasmuch as no steps have been taken during the past summer to remedy this situation, I- assume that nothing will be done and I am simply wrritirig this letter to get all the facts in the record because I can suffer expensive damage to some of the equipment in my basement•if this sewer backs up when the ground water level on land, west of me which this sewer apparently drains, rises a few months hence. Very truly yours, /4/ A.. F. Brown cc:: C�jeerisbury Town Board e/o Frances. L.
