Jrte said that the highway system also needs many

repairs..... Ail of these things cost

money, he said. : "There is so much to be

done and so little t o do it w i t h , " the Supervisor concluded.

roon sewers get top priority according , to IVilfem J. Fountain, supervisor. , V,Th!S;. •" sewet ,*;" syjstfnj';' ;'.'js. expected to protect, Scfroipn talce ftom poilution and |p eflftoii r a g e f ujj.Wr deyebprneat of njcsf^s, restaurants » and *'$Q$ix tourist-oriented businesses, he said. -

The Town has received bids on the treatment plant in the sewer system and'• has submitted them to State and federal authorities for approval. It is hoped that construction can begin by March 31.

The community of Schroon Lake is located at the upper end of the Lake.

The winter population of 1,400 jumps to about 20,000 in the summer months In a resort area almost entirely dependent on tourism for income.

Not too surprisingly then, many of the other township projects now underway involve recreational facilities.

In 1971, a new municipal dock was built and the boat launching site was improved at the Town Beach, A new sprinkling system was installed in the Town golf course to help keep the fairways green.

At present, the Town Board is studying the construction of a small

municipal ski area adjacent to the Town golf course on Hoffman Road.

An old private lift operated on the golf course site many years ago, but it is hoped that a more attractive t-bar or small lift can be built further up the hill, Fountain said.

The supervisor said that this would provide a needed winter recreation area for the Town's youth.

In another youth-oriented program, a teen center was opened in December. A building which had served as a summer library was winterized and opened evenings under the direction of volunteer chaperones.
