Queensbury Glens Falls, Vew .Yorl,� c/o Ralph Turner t Dear Sir: -- The attached petition is to call to your attention a serious and dangerous condition which exists on the Glens Falls-Corinth Highway in the hamlet known as West Glens Falls, New York, County of Warren at the intersection of Pine Street and Corinth Road. There is a lot of traffic on this Glens Falls-Corinth Highway, day and hight. With a heavy.rain, this road is flooded for 'a distance of ten or twelve rods. Also the sidewalk is covered to a depth of four to five inches with water. In the spring when the snow melts, there is up to .seven inches of water on the sidewalk and across the corner. Cars trying- to avoid this water nearly come head on with cars coming in the opposite direction. I Gilbert's Service Station, located on,one corner is enclosed by this water and people will not drive in on account of t ►e water. When this freezes over in the winter it is ver da y- ngerous to people driving by. - We have taken'this up with Mr. Herrick Osburne, County Superin- tendent of Highways. He has been here to inspect the condition and says it is the worst in the County, and that it could be drained. Mr. Osburne stated on August 24 that he took the Highway Com- mittee of the Board of Supervisors to this site and they all agreed that a bad condition exists at this location. However, sufficient funds are' not available, and that it will be necessary to defer the matter for this year. This condition has existed for several years already. We would all appreciate it 'very much if,this could be taken care of before high water next spring. Respectfully yours, (Signed) George L. Gilbert Frank J.
