Re:
Alteration of the Boundaries
Between the Hughsonville Fire
District and the Chelsea Fire
District
Dear Sir:
Enclosed herewith please find the original
executed and acknowledged Petition of the Boards of
Fire Commissioners of the Hughs::onville Fire District and
the Chelsea Fire District by which said Boards of Fire
Commissioners request that the boundary between them be
altered. The Town Law, Section l72-a, requires that the
Town Boards of the Town of Wappinger and the Town of Fish-
kill hold a public hearing jointly prior to the enactment
of the alteration of said boundaries. Said public hearing
must be advertised once in a newspaper having general
circulation in the area affected and must be held no less
than 10 days and no more than 20 days prior to the public
hearing. The law further requires that said Towns post the
Notice of Public Hearing as well as the description of the
altered boundary on the Towns' sign board and in other
conspicuous places within the areas affected, as the Town
Boards may prescribe. Said notice must contain not only
the description of the change, but the time and place of
public hearing and a statement that all persons interested
shall be heard.
May we request that the Town Board of the Town
of Wappinger contact the Town Board of the Town of Fishkill
to arrange a mutually agreeable time so that said public
hearing can be held and, thereafter, said Town Boards may
authorize the change in boundary between the two fire dis-
tricts.

with. Thank you for your cooperation.
Very truly yours,
