Y. becember 7, 1965 Town Board, Town of Queensbury Topic: Sewers Dear SArs: In the past and just recently we have had sewer problems$. all on laterals leading to ,private residence's. �S5 (Letter on Sewers - Continued) What I would like, is that 'the Town Board establish a rule - "How much of sewer is the Town' s responsibility." Is it just the main pipe down the center of the street and manholes; or do we take care and clean all laterals as far as curb. A lot of the old laterals were installed by home-owner's and are not what I term as good installations. ,, in the new districts where the Town layed the new mains and manholes, we installed all laterals to the curb. Thatedoes not mean that we should maintain same. Laterals that were installed by home-owner' s are in most cases 4 inch pipe instead of 6 inch pp that we installed. Very respectfully Bernard J. Codnar Supt. of Highways °R. F. D. 1, Glens Falls, N. Y. December 7, 1965 Town Board, Town of Queensbury Reference: Dixon Rd. Side walk estimate: Gentlemen: At first I would like to state that without a survey of elevations along Dixon Road, any estimate could vary a lot, and also until elevations are assured it is difficult to estimate the amount of lawn restoration. T There is a distance of 2957 feet of walk. I would recommend that top of walk should be as high as crown of highway, or 2 inch higher, which would necessitate a lot of grading and of course, installation of forms, and 2 inches of asphalt concrete mixture 4 ft. wide compacted to about lk inches. Judging from eye grade m®sttof the entire length of walk will need fill to bring to grade. This estimate could vary $1,000.00 either way according to the lawn restoration. Under the conditions here-in mentioned, and to the best of my .jndgement the cost should be approximately: Grading, forming labor and material @ $2.00 Ft. $5917.00 Surveying and engineering 600.00 $6517.00 Very Respectfully, Bernard J. Codner ' Supt. of Highways 286 R.F.D. #1, Glens Falls, N. Y. Dec. 6, 1965 To: Town Board, Town of Queensbury Reference: Specifications - Front End Loader. In responce to the Town Board's request that I prepare a- set of specifications that will cover a number of Front End Loaders; I still cannot pass up the specifications that I presented to the Town Board at the meeting 'on December 2, 1965. Therefore, I am going to classify the specifications under ihe heading of "Bidding "specification #1 and #2" which are so marked I would appreciate very much that both specification #1 and number #2 be very closely studied before coming to any decision. It appears to me that without a demonstration of any of the lighter machines, it is a question, who could recommend the purchase of any one of them. We know what Specification #1 will do.
