Mr.. H. Russell Harris ,

Glens Falls, New York
Dear Mr. Harris:
We, the undersigned, 'being residents in the general vicinity
of the Half-way Brook Reservoir would like to register• a protest,
with the request that you bring it to the attention of the city
fathers. ,
During the past calendar month„ residents in our arei. have
been plagues on at least six different occasions by ashes ina half-
burned debris landing on our lawns and houses , carried by winds from
the Glens Falls City Dump. Not only is this situation disagreeable to
the. f.ami7 y_attemptin&-to picnic in, their backyard or,unsightly .to the
resident trying to beautify his property, but we believe there is also
. a genera;_ fire hazard. It is obvious many of these papers are still a-
flame while being carried by the wind.
It is our understanding that certain; "experts" are being called
from Now York to look into thef City Dump situation.,Wee urge that these
representatives come immediately and-that steps be taken to alleviate
this problem..
Wa would appreciate a word from you as to opinions and comments
made by the city officials to this letter. Your reply should be ad ..
dressed to Mrs. tWebstear R. Price:, Old Forge Road, Glens ftlls, N.Y..
