Dear Mrs. Turner Policy No. 26610 Garage and Storage Building Town of Queensbury Y S/S Aviation Road We wish to advise you at this time that we have made another inspection of -the captioned property and find the housekeeping in both the front and rear buildings is very poor. There is a large accumulation of rubbish both inside and outside of the buildings involved. In the front building3j., there is a large accumulation of oily rags and papers in one corner of the building and right along- side this pile of rags is a large vat containing kerosene that is being used to soak and wash parts. Also contained in this building is a 55 gallon drum of kerosene that was located in the front portion of the G front building and appeared to be leaking on the floor. It was noted that both buildings contained coal burning stoves for heat but there were "no metal containers for the removal of hot ashes. In fact, at the time of our inspection, the ashes were piled on the floor ' in front of the stove. The back building contained a five gallon can of gasoline (partly filled) and numerous other cars of lubricants and oils of various descriptions. This building also shows a lack of main- tenance and is in very poor condition. We would appreciate it very much if you would pass this information on to-the ;proper authorities to see that the necessary steps are taken to improve the housekeeping conditions in this property. There doesn't appear to have been any improvements made since our last inspection of March 27, 1953, and wish to advise you at this time that another inspection will be made on May 18th and if there have been no material changes made in the condition of the property, we will have to ask for the cancellation of our policies.
