Dear Mr. Harris: ' Some time ago I wrote to the Queensbury Highway Department re- garding the installation of a road. marker sign- at the corner of Ridge and Meadowbrook. I have not had a reply to my letter, nor has anything been done about a- sign, so am writing to you in this regard. We have noticed that name signs have beet installed on most of the Town Roads in the area, indicating the names of these roads. It certainly would be most helpful to the residents of the road and the many travelers, if the name of the road were indicated, especially at the intersection of Ridge Road and Meadowbrook, as well as at the Cronin Read end. Won't you please advise if the Town plans to under- take this small project at sometime in the near. future : We are pleased that the damage done by the water line installation has been repaired, at least part way, and thank you' for your cooperation in this regard. r Very truly yours, Isl` Edith S.

This proposal is submitted: with the thought in mind that if the Town Board should decide favorably upon my organization to undertake. this work that we would have a meeting of the Town Board and Board of Assess- ors to make a more detailed contract. The. work that I have taken into consideration in arriving at the price that I have quoted you takes into consideration the appraisal of the attached properties and the service -stated within. I am quoting a price solely for guidance that your Board may have an idea of what the cost would be and any changes that you desire or we decide upon would affect the price.

It has 'been my privilege to have served your Board in the past. I_ trust that you will take into consideration my proximity to your Town that enables me to give prompt service.
