Town of Queensbury,

Dear.,Ma.dam
At recent meetings of the Republican County Committee of the
Town of Queensbury, the question of a building code and zoning ordi-
nance -for the Town of ,Queensbury was discussed and given careful con-
sideration.
The committee feels that the Town Board should be encouraged to
take definite action toward -the adoption of a building code and to in-
vestigate thoroughly, the need of a zoning ordinance.
The committee approved the adoption of a resolution relative to
these matters I am therefore enclosing a resolution for the consider-
ation of the board.
Very sincerely,
(signed) Bernard C. Allen, Secretary
Queensbury Republican Committee
RESOLUTION
Whereas: The Town of Queensbury is at the present time without a build-
ing code or zoning ordinance, and
Whereas : The Republican County Committee of the Town of Queensbury is
of the opinion -that a building code would promote the growth of the
town, and et the same time would provide some protection for existing
property owners , and
Whereas,;: We feel that a building code which is lenient but enforceable,
one which would not tend to discourage the construction of homes and
buildings , but rather to control such construction, would be of definite
and of ,long range value to the future welfare and security of all the
residents of said town.
Therefore, be it resolved that the Republican County Committee of the
Town of Queensbury hereby request the Honorable Members of The Board to
immediately investigate and eventually adopt a building code for the
Town of Queensbury, :and
Further, be it resolved that the said board consider and study in detail
the desirability of a zoning ordinance for the future development and
welfare of the town.

Mr. H. Russell Harris,
Ridge Road,
Glens Falls , N.Y..
Dear Mr. Harris :
Am I just wishing vainly that something might be done to make
the yard behind the Queensbury town store house neater and more pre-
sentable, or is it within your power to dispose of the unusable and
unsightly accumulation which has been allowed� to gather there?
It is not only very untidy to us as next door neighbors (we have
a new home directly behind the storehouse) , but it is quite iAnpleesan
tly visible to all who go by on the rain road. I realize that some
of it is needed by Mr. Lackey and his crew of workers, but there is
much which is no more than junk. Can you, as town supervisor, author-
ize that what is necessary be somewhat consolidated and the rest dis-
posed of?
I would greatly appreciate any action you take on this matter,
Mr. Harris.
Very sincerely yours,
(Signed) Teresa F. ' Lanfear
