Dear Sir:
up I have had. telephone calls from. both Cinnthe an WalGlensnFalls dater
ative to the serious emergency which exists
District by reason of the inadequate pressure in the mains .
The Town Board has both the power and the obligation to provide ade-
quate water service iri all parts of the district. As I understand its the
Town Board has already determirled that the only practical .way in which to
furnish this service is by the installation of a pump near the foot of
Miller Hill.
I have prepared and hand you herewith a proposed resolution to be
adopted by the Town Board which authorizes the immediate installation of
the pump. The resolution also provides .an• appropriation for which the
amount Is left blank. I do not know whether you have adequate funds in the
Water District to pay for the installation. If you do have , then this
resolution will be adequate for that purpose. If you do not have suffi-
cient funds in the 1,Alater District, you will later have to adopt a budget
node resolution to borrow necessary funds to pay for the pump instal-
lation.
You are familiar with the provisions of the General Municipal Law
which requires competitive bidding. for all purchases of over 419,000.002,
but the law also provides that in case of emergency the Town Board may
authorize a purchase without the required bidding. I have provided for
this in the resolution.
It is my advice that you arrange immediately for the purchase and
installation of the pump without bidding and arrange the financing later
if that is necessary..
Yours very truly,
Is/ Albert E. Beswick

this serious situation is to install a pump near the foot of Miller Hill
to furnish the required pressure ,,
RESOLVED,, that the Supervisor be :and he hereby is authorized
and
provide immediately for the installation of a pump of a typ e p acit
y
sufficient to provide the pressure necessary to provide adequate water
supply in_ all parts of the North Glens Falls Water District, including
the construction of a vault, providing the necessary connections and
other facilities required for such installation, and further
RESOLVED, that there be and hereby is appropriated for suchEmer-
gency pump- installation the sum of $2,500.00 which is authorized to be
expended for such purpose , and it is further
RESOLV-13D, that, by reason of the emergency which exists , the pro-
vision.- _ Qf_ he General 111nicipal Law requiring competitive bidding shall
not apply and that the Supervisor-be and hereby is authorized and directed
to arrange for the purchase of the pump and equipment and fo3z t1je instal-
lation immediately without competitive bidding.
