Queensbury 'someplace? 16 Ashley Place Glens Falls, New York Supervisor John- Webster July 27, 1964 Queensbury Dear Sir: Our home is located on the corner of Ashley Place and Pershing Road in the town of Queensbury- A year ago when that terrific fire jumped the Northway and frightened everyone so that they were told to evacuate their homes, the firemen were ready to use the hydrant on our corner. They found that it was old, rusted, and out of condition and could not be used. This might have been a'very costly' thing to many of us who depend upon fire°protection. Though we pay water rents to the city of Glens Falls, they are not responsible, I am told for the care and maintenance of the fire hydrant. The Water Commissioner said, however, that,'•he would attend to its maintenance every year for the sum of $58. The first year I had to write letters explaining etc to all the residents within a-specified'distance• of- the hydrant and ask them for their contribution . I hope that there is some way in which this can be corrected. We-support-1n some measure by taxes and also by gifts, the Queensbury Fire Depattment,'but" what is- the- 'sense of that if the hydrant is not in good shape? sCan' you in the interests of all of us, bring this matter up at a meeting and let us know what will be done about it Cannot the Town of Queensbury take over- the- care of* that hydrant so that we may all feel safe in time of emergency- -We feel as though we are betwixt- and -between and would like to have you do some- thing in the interest of all of us. Thank you for all you do and for an answer when possible. I Sincerely, Mr. -and Mrs. Gilbert H. Lange , GEORGE W. SMITH Corinth Road Telephone RX2-7644 - Town of Queensbury, N. Y.
