The Queensbury Scrap Book,, each year kept separate, all hiBtorical events

I have answered all correspondence from persons living outside of the
township desiring genealogical records for joining societies, birth
certificates , etc.
I am compiling
p ng a� list of Revolutionary soldiers of Warren County,: they
are on cards filed alphabetically for easier reference. I included .the

something that has never been done before in this County.

RESOLUTION ADOPTING APPROVED PROPERTY NUMBERING uYSTB111.
Messrs . Wertime, Webster and Snyder introduced Resolution No. 27
and mov&d its adoption.
�KHEREAS, this Board of Supervisors has considered a study of a plan
to set up a system of uniform numbering of properties in the entire County )
of Warren, and
TAFHEREA.S,, this Board feels that such a system would be of great
value to Fire Companies, Retail Delivery Services, Postal Authorities,
Law Enforcement Officers , Doctors , Ambulance Services, Util� ties , and
the public in general , and _
289
S,atHERE �S, this system is so designed that it will in no way inter-
fere wth __a,ny community or area that has already numbered its proper-
ties ,. and
14HEREAS, rapid growth of suburban areas in other counties has
proved .the necessity- of having a uniform property numbering system before
several different communities set up their own system which leads to
duplication and overlap of numbering and. general confusion, and
WHEREAS. the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation has offered to
supply, without cost, a master map for the County and to assist the
various communities in the preparation_ of their own individual detailed.
maps , and
WHEREAS, this proposed system is designed to coincide with systems
being studied or adopted by adjoining counties,
RESOLVED, that the Warren County Board of Supervisors approve and
adopt the aforesaid. system as the "Approved Property Numbering System"
for Warren County and recommends that the various political subdivisions
of the County adopt it for their use as rapidly as ,they feel the neces-
sity for property numbering , ,that the numbers on the West and East roads
shall start -with the low numbers at ,the western boundary-of the County
and progress easterly with 300tnumbers assigned to each mile section,
that numbers on the South and -forth roads start with the low numbers
at the southern boundary of the County and progress -northerly with 300
numbers assigned to etch mile section, that -even numbers on the West and
East roads be on the southern side -of the road , and even numbers on the
South and North roads be on the eastern side of the road, and -it is
further - - -
RESOLVED, that the Board urges each Town to adopt a formal resolu-
tion naming -the roads in the Town and to consider changing the designa-
tion of the name "Town Line Road ;" Vnich is used on so many different
roads and in so many different towns, and it is further
• RESOLVE, that the various Town Boards file a copy of the above
suggested resolution in the offices of the County Glerk and �ths Clerk
of -the Board of Supervisors , when passed.
