On the week of February 23rd, Teetor - Dobbins plans to inspect the plant to determine the completion of the punch list which was submitted to the con- tractors. if this punch list is complete, a certificate of completion will be recommended by the Engineers. This does not mean that final payment will be made, because this is based upon proper operation of the plant for a number of months after the final completion. The contractors have submitted requests for an extension of time for the completion of the contract. This has not been as yet given by our Engineers. They are consulting with the authorities in Albany to ascertain the effect of granting such an extension of time.

STREETS During the two periods of rain and thaw, it was necessary to do some backhoe and drainage ditch work to prevent water from flowing Into resident garages and houses. Considering the heavy amount of snow and the fairly heavy runoff, we have only a few problems of this type. Also, during the thaw a few pot holes did appear. These were filled with a winter bituminous mix to prevent further damage to the roads and also to prevent vehicle damage. Again, although there are a number of these holes at the major traffic places like the Corners area, in general there are not an excessive number of these pot holes. • - 3 - SNOW REMOVAL We have had more snow this winter than any winter for at least the last five years. It has necessitated an unusual amount of overtime for keeping the roads clean. The amount spent for salt and sand for Ice control will exceed last year's expenditures. We continue with our policy of mixing sand with the salt and of salting on hills, Intersections, and curves only. This policy seems to meet with the approval of the residents. REPORT OF THE ZONING OFFICER - February 16, 1976 No zoning permits were issued during this past month.
