RE OUX 142 Mc.in Street Warrensburg, N.Y. September 19, 1.956 Mr.. H. Russell Harris Supervisor,: Towln of Queensbury , Glens Falls , RD 2 Ne,­ York Dear Russ : This is to in-form you that on Tuesday, May 22, 1956, a conference lastInZ, about two hours occurred in my office at Warrensburg; bet,,,!een 7V.,r. Robeft W. Im-rie and myself in connection with the possibility of com 214 L 1- L 3romr?_sin,c� and adjustIng, out of Court all of the differences existing b,,-tl,een the Cj'ty of -Glens 7alls -and the Town of Queensbilry with re- s----t to the assessn-grit on-the -,:eater-shed --roperty and improvements o-iD.,P d. by the City of Glens Falls and located in the Toy-,.,n of Queens- - bury. At the Qqtset of the Gonference I- informed Mr. . L--rie that as a result of a meetinE with the Town. Board and the Board .of Assessors of the Town of Queensbury previously held on 'INSay 16,,; 2.956, 1 was author- ized. to make certain proposals which the Town of Weensbury hoped mi�,�,,ht eventually lead to a t,h settlement of 4 --.e various controversies which would be in the permanent interest of both parties. I briefly outlined, the offer of settlement as follows : 1. 1 stated. that the assess-merit on the water-shed proj)erty herein referred to would be reduced to the surf, of 6524,,08,00. 2. 1- said that in addition to this all �.ssessments relating to fences would. be stricken from tht') asslessmenI, roll. This latter offer was made without specific authority from the Town of Queensbury offi- cials at that time , taut the Assessors have since done this anyway. 3. I- said that the Town of Queensbury would require the ' cencel- lation by the City of Glens Falls of the certificate filed with the -Conservation Department under Section 13 of the Tax Law and which is now in the process of revie-,.! by the Court. 4. 1 further explained to Yr. Imrie in great detail that the Officials of the Town of Queensbury3, that is the Town Board and Board of Assessors , had. unanimously agreed upon a program of. revision of all dssessments in the town; that the Assessors were certain it could be accomplished in not more than three yeb_rs , that they thought it could be done in not more than two years and that I myself was quite confi- dent it could be done within one year so that the revised assessment would be completed and in use for next year. Thereupon, Mr. Imrie said that with respect to the provisions of Section 13 of the Tax-Law the To-t,�Tn of Queer-sbury would be entitled to .0 certain nominal payments and I. told him that I- would assume the re- sponsibility for the O`fficials of the ToT,-m of.waiving !?Lny such pay- ments which miSht be due, Mr. Imrie then said. that the offer was less than he had hoped for but more than be expected. He sa-d he would. take the matter up with the Officials representing the City of Glens Falls and would notify me of their decision at, the earliest convenient mement. He said that it might take some three or four weeks or possibly longer to get them together, consult with them and go over the matter and I said that this was perfectly all right with the, Town of Queensbury. I pointed out to M s engaged in Imrie belief the Town of Queensbury war. Imrie that it gas my every reasonable effort to .try to �L -permenent, - a)rovide ling-term and program in relation to this entire situation which would, we hoped , forever settle any controversy between Glens Falls and Queensbury. I sai-d that it seemed to me if the program proposed by the Town of Queens- bury were carried into effect as I was sure it would be, this entire matter would be solved to the general satisfaction of all concerned for possibly 50 or 1100 years and without future Court action. I said that it seemed to me that this element was by far the most important one in tt the offer made by Queensbdry. Mr. Imrie agreed that this VT,9s _-O- Fin ally, I told Mr. Imrie that if after a full and. complete discussion of the •proposal the oflici,-3.ls representing the City of Glens Falls had L any counter-proposal to rial,�(-, to the Town of Queensbury, I was -author - � ized to receive it but rot to accept. it either in whole , or in part without submittInE it to the Officials Of Queensbury. On Tuesday July 103 1956, 1 had a brief tall-, with Mr. Imrie upon the pecasion of the Grievance Day Hearing by the Assessors of the Town of Queensbury and I then aslll°ed. him whether any decision had been, made in regard to the proposal which had been submitted on behalf 215 of tlae Town ,of 'Queensbury. Imrie infQrmed me that .although he had had. con$iderablQ di-Scussion. or di-scussions witn various Officials' whom he did, not name to -me , that the C.ueen!-­,bury proio*os'al tires= not acceptable. The fQrAego1_nL is the situation as briefly as I c6x.,,_ state 'it and so f,4r. as I !,,,-now anything about it until I saw the article. -published in the Post-Star on September 1£3, 1§56. I - - .
