ast week < regular and

meeting.*.,. .,'v#. The bids received .Were from

the Moses Ludijigton Hospital, $ 1 5 , 0 0 0 ; Moreitte Sound Systems, $14,000; Arthur Ryan, $14,000 and Mrs. Janice Ot t , $8,495.

New bids on the project must be submitted to be opened at a meeting of the Board Thursday, April 15. Calls which the answering service will operate include the police radio and telephone; Fire Department phone and fire siren Chilson Fire Dept. phone and siren and the water tower gauge.

The Board determined last week that previous bidders were unaware of all the details required of the service and in addition at lease one of the bids was rejected under the terms of the conflict of interest code recently adopted by the Board. Ryan is a part-time patrolman for the village and is therefore ineligible to bid and Mrs. Ott 's husband also is a village police officer, making her bid legally questionable.

T h e Moses Ludington Hospital had previously made an offer to operate the service through its switchboard facilities for the $15,000 sum later contained in its bid. After the offer was made, the Board determined that it would be

the ticonderoga Village Board for the installation of radio and telephone equipment for the

coordinating of all emergency facilities of the' Village and Town of Ticonderoga, including police, ftre, emergency squad, civil defense and water monitoring equipment as presently available. ' 2. The following services are

presently available to the Village of Ticonderoga:

a) Police radio (furnished by the Village)

b ) T i c o nderoga Police telephone extension.

c) Ticonderoga Fire Department fire phone.

d) Village of Ticonderoga fire siren.

e) Chilson Fire Department phone.

Consider ordinance controlling signs At the regular meeting last

week of the Ticonderoga Village Board, a proposed sign ordinance patterned after one in effect in the area covered by the Lake George Park Commission, was presented by John LaPointe, a local businessman.

LaPointe noted that there are many signs in and around the village which detract from the beauty and attractiveness of the community and presented several pictures to back up his statements. He also noted that such an ordinance would prevent unsuitable signs from being erected in the future. His proposal was in accordance with a suggestion made editorially in this newspaper recently.
