To the`Members{ of the Town Board,
Town of Queens bury. `
Gentlemen:
First, in regard to meter at Parson's & Gale' s, I think they should
be put` in as they both have washing machines apd they will use lots of
water. The time that Gaffe started he chid not say anything about the wash-
ing machines , so charged hi?� what'he 'had in his place. We will have to
buy them and have a plumber install them. DeLong's Dairy meter has been
put in.and I know it will be some change in his bill.
Now A.C. 'Broughton is putting in'a factory in the Ioll Parker barn
and he'will have 6 big vaults which will take lots of water and I think
and know he will use lots of water in them. I am having Garner Tripp go
up Viere `and see what he thinks about it. He, Mr. Broughton,, said he was
only going to have two toilets. There is another thin I wish to say. I
now have no addinE machine. I sent my machine dovin to have it checked
over to see if it was in working order and inked up and call for it at
Karl Suprenant 's, and he said your board had not raid him for it.
How I came to get the State Audit told to get and you did not get
one, to let them know and they would see I had one. Also they said I should
also have a typewriter with the amount of (work) I have and the writing I
have to do, I have a lot of writing to do, I need this just as - much and
more ao as the Justices do, for about 200 Dollars we car_ get ,both,
I am not going (to) ask. the Public any more to use these machines
any more and have them say thrg amount you take in the Board should get
them for you.
Now take it up this meeting and let ;me know, if you don't I will
let Albany know.
And oblige,
Howard Wallace, Supt. and Collector
