Dear John, ` This letter is to let you know that I would greatly enjoy being considered for your Recreation Committee in the Town of Queensbury. I do not 'rightly know what I should list for qualif ications other than the fact that I participated in nearly all Varsity sports both in High School and College. As you -ktiow, I am a new member of the Town of Queensbury and perhaps for this reason I do not fully realize your problems, however, I do recognize the potential for recreation in this area, as this is one of the reasons I have recently purchased land in the Town. Also, for what it is worth, my wife is an accomplished horsewoman and has had long experience in conducting riding classes,, and is willing to assist you along these fines. Regardless of the Board's decision, please feel free to call upon me for any assistance whatsoever. Sincerely, L. Michael Carusone January 3, 1964 w Supervisor John 0.

Dear Mr, Webster and Members of the Queensbury Town Board: The year 1963 had more than its share of health problems, most of which, however, were rather minor. On several occa- sions both the district engineer and myself inspected problems concerning sewage disposal. The bathing beaches were visited and inspected and the bathing permits once again. issued. A number of dog bites were reported anti one or two bites by miscellaneous types of animals were likewise reported.` Vone of these resulted in any serious problem. The immunization clinics were again held in Queensbury School and vaccinations, triple toxoids and polio shots were .rJ given at different times. There were approximately 500 immun- izations procedures carried out in these clinics. T recently called Mr. Andrew Brown in regard to the status of the Wilson Ave. , neighborhood where rats were report- ed two years ago. Apparently a fairly efficient job was done by the exterminators, as no more rats have been detected. 1 C7 (Robert A. Reid, M.D.. letter - continued) Queensbury had its share of infectious diseases through this past year but there were no epidemics of really serious proportions. I wish to take this opportunity to thank you and the mem- bers of the Board for my appointment four years ago and I re- quest your consideration of my continuing in this capacity as Health Officer during the next four years.
