1960-09-22 ss the Town of Queensbury at that time, stating what the County proposed to do in relocating the so-called Glen Lake Road, a town highway across the Glens Falls Country Club property. During 1960 the County has relocated this town highway by the construction of a new road from the Blind Rock road northerly across the lands of the Country Club and Elizabeth Mannis Swan to intersect the original road at a distance of approximately 1700 ft. in length. This town highway has been graded, graveled and primed by the County, and I can see no reason why the Queensbury Town Board should not pass the necessary resolution to include it in the town system.
