WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
The Supervisor read the following letter from Rene Simon:
I would appreciate having this letter read at a Town Board meeting.
I want to acknowledge my sincere thanks to the Highway Department for
the following reasons:
I
On July 11th after a night storm, two trees fell on my fence and part
of my roof at my residence (no damage to the roof) .
On July 13th I called the Highway Department and advised then of my
problem - the two trees were on Town property. Half an hour later
the Town Engineer came to survey the damage; and one hour later the
whole crew was there cutting and removing the debris and even broom.
cleaned the patio and part of the roof involved in the mishap.
I think that the people of our community should know how efficient
this Department is and I would like to thank the whole crew - a nice
bunch of fellows.
Thank you so much for promptness and expertise with which this job was
performed. I am proud to belong to this community and I want you to
know it. Sincerely yours, J. Rene Simon, A/D
