Above designs are identical, except for size of letters, THESE SPECIFICATIONS ARE THE RESULTS OF OUR FINDINGS, BASED ON OVER 35 YEARS OF EXCLUSIVE SIGN MANUFACTURE FOR MUNICIPALITIES, COUNTIES AND STATE HIGIT19AY DEPARTMENTS. STREET NAME SIGN PLATES: Steel: Each plate to be made from 18 gauge sheet steel,,.having a hot dipped galvanized, or zinc coating of not less than &75 ounces per square foot. Mill tests prove that this material is from 15Y to 45g; more rust resistant than other types of material commonly referred to as "zinc coated" or "galvanized and bonderized" sheet steel. After heavy.,zine coating is applied, the steel sheet is then bonderized,, not only to �—. create better adhesion and background for the enamel finish, but to pre- vent the zinc from attacking the enamels . Embossing: Letters and border are heavily embossed to a-depth of ap- proximately 125/1000n. Only perfect dies are used in the embossing pro- cess, which results In straight, clean-,cut, deeply embossed lettering and borders, Size of Plates : Plates are 6" wide by 2011 , 241' ,, 30" or 36" long, depending upon•the length of the name involved. This variable length of plate is important 1: If all 36" plates were , to be used for example, a very short name would-look spread-out , and legibility decreased. By the same token, if all 20" or 24" long plates were used , a long street name would look cramped and crowded on plates of this length, and here again legibility would be decreased. Size • of-Letters : • •E�450=CB signs have all letters 4" high. _ • . • -1�-450A.-CB signs have street name in 4" letters , prefixes and suffixes 211. E-=435=CB signs have all letters 3z" high. • Er435A-CB 'Signs have street name in 32" letters ,, prefixes and suffixes 2". :except ,for ,variances •in,letter 'sizes , all of the above are identically the same , and i�ollaca s .me specificatidris. Style of Letters : Letters conform. to U.S. Standard Alphabets, Series A,B, or D. _ ylidest series letters are used wherever practical. Experienced engineers in our factory make a careful selection of the proper width letters , to obtain maximum readability. Enamel Material: Only DuluX synthetic baking enamels , as manufactured by the E.I. DuPont de Nemours Company, or equal, are used. These enamels , made from synthetic resins, have proven to be far superior to the old gum type enamels. • Enamel Finish: Street Name Plates are finished with at least three coats of baking enamels applies? to the background of the plates by the spraying method each coat baked separately before succeeding coats are applied . In addition, letters and border have at least two coats applied by power rubber rollers , with each of these coats baked sep- aretely. Properly controlled temperatures are maintained for all baking. The -resultant finish is lustrous and durable , free from blemishes, blisters , cracks , etc . CAST BRACKOT ASSEi�BLY Bracket Assembly is a one piece close grained cast structure -- which unit includes post cap; 2z" wide web or mounting surface for pairs of name plates ; and ornamental ball top. Name plates are mount- ed in recesses on the 2-El " wide web , with-3-3; 411 wide ornamentation above,, below and between-.name plates, giving a_somewhat similar ap- pearance to standard center clip type units as on standard E-435 and E-450. Same baked enamel finish as applied to background of name plates is applied to bracket assembly. All assembly hardware is of rust resistant materials ; bolt and nut assemblies used at the ends of the name plates , for mounting plates together in pairs , are 1-11 x 3/8" solid brass Phillips Head bolts and nuts., LYLE SIGNS, INC. 2720 University Ave . , S.E.

Mill tests prove that this material is from .15jo to 45;x' more-" rust resistant than other types of material commonly referred to as "zinc coated', or "galvanized and bonderized" sheet steel. After heavy zinc_ coating is applied , the steel sheet is then bonderized, not only to create better adhesion and background for the enamel finish, but to pre- vent the zinc from attacking the enamels. Embossing: Letters are heavily embossed to a depth of approximately 2.25/1000". Only perfect dies are used in the embossing process , ,tThich results in straight, clean-cut, deeply embossed lettering. A debossed or counter-embossed bead 1/8" deep and 1/441 wide, 5/1611 in from the edge , follows the entire contour of the name -plates . This bead adds great strength and rigidity -- yet is unobtrusive in appearance . Size of Plates : Plates are 6" wide by 2411 , 28" or 32" long,, depending upon the length of the name involved. This variable length of plate is important. If all 32", plates were to be used , for example , a very short name would look spread out, and legibility decreased. By the same token, if all 2411, plates were used , a long street name would look cramped and crowded on plates of this length, and here again legibility would be decreased.

'Glens Falls , N.Y. September 6, 1955 Mr. Harold D. Aikens .,D, 3 - . Glens Falls , N.Y* Dear Mr. Aikens You have asked me about the status of the proposed. application for flash signals at the Glen Lake crossing of the Delaware & Hudson Rail- road. - _ On May 5, 1954,. I prepared a proposed petition_ by the town board of the Town of Queensbury to the Public Service Commission for an order requiring the Delaware & Hudson Railroad to install automatic warning signals and mailed it to Mr. Bentley on that day. I have two copies of this petition in my file but apparently the original was never executed and returned to me. At the request of Mr. Harris, I wrote to the Delaware & Hudson Corporation on the same day requesting them to install such signals and I have in my file a copy 'of a letter from Alfred D. Kelly, Counsel,, under date of June 24, 1954, in which he states that they had recently cut trees on both sides of the track to improve the vision, that the sight approach is approximately 1000 feet, and in view of the fact that there are very few trains and that there has not been an accident at this cors- sin. since 1915, the railroad feels that the .expense of installing warn- ing signs is not warranted. The original of the letter from Mr. Kelly was mailed to H. Russell Harris on June 30 , 1954. From all of this it appears that for some reason your town board decided not to make a petition to the Public Service Commission. At about that time the town board of the Town of Caldwell did make a petition to the Public Service Commission for the installation of automatic signals at the crossing near the Martin saw mill. This application went to a 1 hearing and was denied by the Public Service Commission. I doubt wheth- er you would have any better success with the Glen Lake crossing, but --� if you do now decide that you do want to make a petition, you may either use the one which I prepared over a year ago, changing the dates,. or I will prepare a new one. Yours very truly, /s/ Albert E. Beswick Albert E. Beswick Glens Falls , N.Y. September 6, 1955 Mr. Harold D. Aikens R.D.. 3 Glens Falls , N.Y. Dear Mr. Aikens : You have asked' me about the liability of the Town of Queensbury for sidewalks constructed in the Broadacres area. A tos:n board may con8truct sidewalks , and if the sidewalks are con- structed with town funds, the town is liable for the maintenance of such sidewalks. The town is not responsible for the maintenance of sidewalks unless, the walks were originally constructed with town funds, or unless the town has assumed the maintenance thereof. It is my understanding the sidewalks in the BveadAcres area were originally laid by the BroadAcres Corporation and not by town funds. If this is true , then the Town of Queensbury is• not� liable for the mainten- ance of the walks unless you have at sometime voluntarily assumed the T 69 responsibility. Normally, the assumption of maintenance would consist of an appropriation_ by the town board for the purpose of maintaining side- - walks and some acts of the town superintendent in repairing or maintaining sidewalks. Unless the• town board or your tom superintendent of highways has assume6 -such responsibility, then in my opinion there is no liability. May I call your attention to subdivision 2 of Section 25 of the Highway. Law ti Inich reads as follows : "No civil action shall be maintained against any town or town .superintendent of highways for damages or injuries to person or f property sustained by reason of any defect in its sidewalks or in consequence of the existence of snow or ice upon any of its side- walks , unless such sidewalks have been constructed or are main- tained by the town or the superintendent of highways of the town pursuant to statute , nor shall. any action be maintained for damages or injuries to person or property sustained by reason of such de- fect or in consequence of such existence of sno%, or ice unless written notice thereof, specifying the particular place , was act- ually given to the town cler!�: or to the totem superintendent of highways , and there was a failure or neglect to cause such defect to be remedied , such snow or ice to be removed, or to make the place otherwise reasonably safe within a reasonable time after the re- ceipt of such notice ." I trust that this answers your inquiry. Yours very truly, /s/ Albert E. Beswick Resolution No.. 86 introduced by Justice skins , seconded by Councilman �Jalkup 19HEREAS the City of Glens Falls has instituted a certerorari pro- ceedings against the Town of Queensbury respecting assessments of certain City property in the ToTm of Queensbury by service of petition and notice on the Tovm Clerk, RESOLVED that Harry Reoux be and is hereby retained to represent the Town of Queensbury in the matter and that ne is authorized to prepare the necessary return j_r the proceedings.
