Queensbury Town Hall Gentlemen: In order to allay -any misapprehension for recent news articles , may I advise you that references to possible action for annexation represent the personal judgement of a member 'of our Urban Renewal Agency, and do not in any way, explicitly or implicitly, represent the policy of this administration. Mrs. Liddle has made an excellent study of the problems and prospects of the business community, with the 'thoroughness characteristic of all the work she has done in her professional capacity, and I am deeply appreciative of her conscientious efforts in the interest of the City'. I do not, however, envision any initiative by my administration to seek annexation of this or any other area of the Town of Queensbury. I am confident that we shall continue to work together as sister munici- palities, as we have these several years, for the mutual benefit of all of our citizens. Cordially, /s/ Robert J.
