D. 1 Glens Falls, New York Dear John: I understand that there will he a hearing Thursday evening to consider the question of an ordinance requiring a Report of New Con- struction applying to properties in. the Town of Queensbury. I would like to attend this nearing, but unfortunately I have a meeting that .evening which I must participate in. ?tore than four years ago the Citizens Committee on Queensbury re- Assessment stated that one of the objectives of the Town should be to adopt an ordinance requiring a permit for new construction or altera- tion of existing properties. The Mohican Grange saw fit to adopt a '_resolution in April of 1957 , a copy of which is enclosed. You will recall that this Resolution recognized the fact that the Warren County Assessors Association had placed itself on record as favoring such a permit. In the interests of good government and an efficient assessment system I urge that favorable action on this ordinance be taken. Sincerely, William T. Clark The Supervisor also read, the following communication from the Mohican Grange.: MOHICAN GRANGE No. 1300 COPY Glens Falls , N. Y. WHEREAS: in the Town of Queensbury in Warren County, a large number of buildings are annually being improved or erected , and 1. 37 >717EREAS , an accurate record. of this new construction would be much in the public interest and very helpful to the Town Assessors as well. as to the Health Authorities and the moire Companies in the Town, of Queeps.bury, and WIF:R.EAS, there is now no provision in the local laws whereby this information is readily obtainable, and WHEREAS, the Warren County Assessors Association has placed itself on record. as favoring, for those Towns where needed, the adoption of an Ordinance , requiring from all bui.ldirs a "REPORT OE ''IF'W CONSTRUCTION", be it hereby RESOLVED: that Mohican Grange 1300 places itself on record as favoring for the Town.< of Queensbury, the adoption of a Town Ordinance - requiring from all builders a "REPORT OF NEW to be filed with the Towr Clerk, and a cony to be filed with the Chairman of the Queensbury Board of Assessors , in such manner as may be consistent with accuracy an('- regularity, and with such penal-ties for non-performance as may be decided upon by the., Town Board. of; Queensbury. I hereby certify= that the above is a true copy of a resolution passed at a regular meeting of i,,iohi ca.n Grange #1300 on April 4, 1957, and forwarded to the ':Down Clerk. of the Town of Queensbury for consideration at a meeting of the Town. Board.. " (Signed) Gertrude, Van Buser. -cretary= :CniICAN GRANGE No. 1300 11/17/60 At a meeting of Mahican Grange #1300 held.
