COUNTY BRIEFTING Co Rep Tillapaugh reported that they are in the process of organizing a committee to do an evaluation study of the County Youth Bureau . . Clm Webb wondered why the assessment couldn ' t be done over a 4 year period instead of the 2 year period . There was some concern on his part since they had passed a law last year . The idea was , that they were going to freeze the assessment , but the law read they were only going to freeze land only , so what the assessment dept . did was to add the assessment on the buildings , which is a very simple thing to do . It has ruined the whole effect of the law and they are legally within their rights . CITIZEN PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR Mr Nelson Davall presented the Town Board with a petition from about 50 residents who live around Dryden Lake that since due to the increase in noise and disturbance during the evening hours and continuing until early in the morning around and near Dryden Lake especially on the west side of the lake , request that the lake and surrounding state- owned areas be officially closed to the public at a reasonable hour each evening - and remain closed until a reasonable hour in the morning .

The board held a decision on this hearing pending more information . Mrs Barbara Caldwell reported that she and Z . O . Stewart checked over the census in the remainder of the town , other than the villages . They cross checked the printout to make sure they were in the right enumeration district . They took the base number from - 1970. and added in all the building permits for dwellings , apartment units , and new mobile homes . The census bureaus preliminary figure showed a greater number of units presumably based on places that have been converted to apartments .
