The board convened at 7:30 P.M.
Howard Congdonr Herman Frederickson and Clifford Deysey called on the
Board and the condition-of Northrup Drive was discussed= with reference
to drainage of the street. It was stated that the condition of the street
was bad on account of lack of drainage. It was felt that gravel placed
on the road would correct the situation. The matter was referred to Mr.
Akins who was to contact the Town Superintendent to obtain gravel for
,I the road.
Mr, and Mrs. Hall and Jake Suess of the Nest Glens Falls Civic Organ
sat3.on IBS present and requested that money be set -aside .for permanent
improvement in the West Glens Falls area.
It was also requested that the speed at which vehicles may travel be
restricted on Central Ave. t `

The above five policies are all written on an annual basis, They
are all eli&ible for term privilege which means they can be written
for three years at times the annual premium. Thus, the total pre-
mium would be 5,98202thich would reauce the average annual cost to
approximately ;660,77. Total Three Year Saving : 1396.46;.,
I realize that on account of the budget systems, it is more de-- _
sir4ble to have the premium apportioned on an annual basis. However,
for"a small service charge you can budget the three year premium thus
paying it annually and still secure the benefit of a substantial
saving to the town.. Inasmuch as there is a saving on policies eligible
to and written for three years, it might be desirable for the Town
Board to give consideration to allocating the town insurance on a
three yeat basis to give the Town the benefit of the saving.
I am sending this preliminary data to you based on last years
insurance so you could give this matter your consideration, .If. you
desire to make this change,: the renewal policies could be endorsed
to three year terms .
Both your automobile li.<_�b ility- �tnd general lint-l-lity are' set up
}} on a comprehensive basis which are the broadest contracts possible to
purchase. Limits seem to* be adequate. General liability coverage is
VOO,000 Bodily Injury to any one person, or as a result of any one
accident.-Property Damage : 150,000 one accident with a $100,000 total,
Comprehensive automobile li°�its are 1300,,000 to any one .person, with
a 300,OQ0 limit as a result of one accident; and $50,000 Property .
Damage.
Comprehensive coverage is being provided on various units.. This
is basically fire and theft coverage, broadened to include other cov-
erages such as glass breakage , vandalism and malicious mischief, and
about anything which can happen "to the vehicle except upset or col-
lision. Apparently it was not considered essential to carry collision
If the Board did deem it advisable on the more expensive units , then
I would- recommend either 1100 or 1250 deductible irrhich would greatly
lower the cost.

11hen the new policies are received from the Company, we will
prepare a summary of the insurance and will be glad to go over same

4ttgrnev at Law _
Colvin Building
Glenn Fall's, N.Y. _
Dear Mr. Beswick:
I
i
Your letter of the 23rd respecting ,a possible joint surface
drainage system as between the City of Glens Falls and Town of Queens- i
bury is receivgd. 4pproximately one year ago some of the Town Board
approached the Common Council- in connection-.with this same problem.
At that time I- examined into the law and came to the conclusion that
there was no proYision for Jon oint operation of drainage projects. Many
other types of joint operat are possible under the General`Muni_cipal:
Law but I don' t think that Far. 120a is broad enough to cover the
peculiar-requirements we have here.. I believe that that is aimed at a
joint disposal system for severage as distinguished from surface or sub-
surface drainage of surplus water ard I believe that some additional
legislation will have to be introduced- and passed 't6 enable a co-
operative effort on the part of our two municipalities.
I would suggest that you approach Mr. Hawley to have him obtain
I
a bill.and introduce the same which would authorize municipalities
to work_ together in this way. The final date for introduction of
' legislation has expired but further legislation may be introduced with
permission of the Rules Committee.. It is obvious from rasolu-
. tions recently passed in the State Legislature that it is expected to
e well into .March before the ' Session is terminated and Nor.. Hawley
would therefore have plenty of'..time to get such` a bill drawn and in-
,, ; troduced , I don''t conceive of any reason why it shouldntt be passed if
introduced. - 4
