The purpose of this special meeting was to determine the advisability of selling a lot of land 200 feet frontage by 275 feet in depth adjacent to a similar parcel recently sold to Regan and Denny for a funeral home on Quaker Road. It is understood that the Albany Savings Bank is interested in the plot as a site for a new Bank Building.

We would also ask that the usual 25% of said sale price be given to the Cemetery Commission for deposit in our Perpetual Care Fund. Sincerely, Sidney Van Dusen, Chairman Cemetery Commission, Town of Queensbury. RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SALE OF PINE VIEW CEMETERY LANDS TO ALBANY SAVINGS BANK.
