Some suggested that instead of well-groomed hiking trails complete with bridges, ADK hikers preferred a rugged, natural setting. (Others questioned having to drive by car to reach bicycle trails: "It's still not getting the younger kids off the roads." In response to a question, Murphy said about 2,000 snowmobile permits were sold this season, about half of which were to non-county residents. It had been anticipated that between 8,000 and 10,000 would be sold. If the weather and gasoline situation had been different, it is felt the trails would have been self-supporting this year. Murphy said he would welcome advice and physical help from ADK members in planning the hiking trails.

Asked if studies had been By PAT CHILDS Staff Writer Canoe routes and hiking, horseback and cross country ski trails are being planned by Warren County. Queensbury Supervisor Thomas Murphy, chairman of the County parks and recreation committee, described the planned program to the Glens Falls Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club (ADK) Tuesday evening. He said the parks and recreation committee was formed last June primarily to develop recreation for the county on a year-round basis. "There've been some big changes in the program," he noted. Snowmobile trails, for instance, will not be as extensive as originally planned for 1974-75.

The trails put in this season cover about 85 miles. "The trails are multi-purpose trails," Murphy pointed out. "The first project we hopefully will get into for the spring is to convert most, about 60 miles (of the snowmobile trails), into trails for hiking this summer." The biggest problem in creating the snowmobile trails he said, was obtaining easements from 102 landowners. The easements are granted on a year-to-year basis. Murphy estimated that about 50 percent of the 60 miles will also be used for horseback riding.

Bicycles are" another matter, since they need hard packed roads or. macadam. "We're not going to build them out of cement or macadam this year," Murphy said. Some may be set up on existing roads. Murphy told of $40 million of federal funds available right now for bicycle trails, with a limit of $2 million per state.

Warren County is making application. "The federal bureaucracy and red tape is going to be astronomical, but at least we're one of the first ones in there." The trails, which could be put through woods, along roads or elsewhere, would be designed for bikes but also could be used in winter for snowmobiles. Snowmobiling and cross country skiing is a combination which doesn't mix, Murphy warned. Cross country skiing was tried out on a section of the cross-country trails this year, GLENS FALLS AND UPPER HUDSON VALLEY: Mostly sunny today with highs in the 30s to around 40 (20s to around 30 in the north). Fair tonight followed by increasing cloudiness with chance of mixed precipitation by Friday.

Lows will be in the upper teens to mid 20s. Chance of precipitation is near zero today and 20 per cent tonight, 10 per cent higher in the north. Extended forecast: Mixed precipitation north and rain south Saturday. Some showers ending Sunday and remaining cloudy. Clear Monday.

A bit milder than normal with the high in the 30s to low 40s south and overnight low in the upper teens and 20s. but he called it "very dangerous." Skiers are not able to get out of the way of the snowmobiles. Canoeing routes are also planned for this year between North River and Lake Luzerne. There will be maps, parking lots, picnic areas and landing places along the approximately 30-mile run. Areas will be marked for experts and novices.

Being planned for the hiking trails, he pointed out, are picnic areas, rest rooms and garbage containers. Motorcycles will not be permitted in the area at all, with the possible exception of an area owned by a lumber company. Murphy spoke of the erosion motorcycles cause to the land and the noise which could disturb those with summer camps. Most of the easements contain clauses prohibiting them, he noted. Murphy showed slides of the Warren County trails, which were primarily made along abandoned log roads.

They were cleared of brush and made 10 feet wide. Trees which had to be downed were cut into logs and taken to the land 35 31 64 48 61 39 47 32 46 30 45 36 30 52 33 .01 cdy cdy 01 cdy rn cdy .02 cdy .05 cdy sn cdy cdy cdy cdy cdy cdy clr rn rn cdy .23 rn rn .04 cdy rn periods of wet snow or rain tonight.

By MARC CLEGHORN Testimony continued Wednesday in the negligence action of the Village of Lake George against Stephen Thomas, owner of the old Sky Harbor Restaurant, formerly at the corner of Canada Street and the Beach Road. Attorney Frederick G. Bascom presented further evidence for the plaintiff, suing because of damage to the village sewer lines caused when the Sky Harbor fire ruins were being removed and a 25-foot chimney on the premises was pulled down.

In support of the claim, Bascom called the following witnesses to the stand: Mrs. Nancy Fregoe, accounts clerk and stenographer for Mayor Robert Blais, Harold Gordon, superintendant of sanitation; Daniel Drellos, who worked for his father's firm, Sanitary Sewer Service; and Ernest D'Anunzio of Albany, manager of Geron Restoration Corp. Mrs. Fregoe told about paying the bills and also sending a letter from Mayor Blais to John Rock, contractor, before the demolition began, with copies to the defendant and the police chief. Superintendant Gordon explained the workings of the village sewer system, the rupturing of two pipes, and the work involved in restoration, including the use of Howard LaRose's truck to get pipe from Albany.

Daniel Drellos told how three tank trucks were used to move 35 to 40 loads of sewage from the pumping station to the sewage treatment plant, for which Sanitary Sewer Service charged the village $3,210. Geron Restoration charged $500 to clean out the pipes. After plaintiff's attorneys finished their proof, Defense Attorney Joseph Huberty called as his first witnesses John Rock, Fort Edward contractor, and his brother, Ross, who was also on the job. He testified that he knew of no underground sewer pipes and had no record of recieving any such information from the Mayor's office. George E.

McGowan, whose wife was the original owner of Sky Harbor, testified that there was a manhole for the sanitary sewer system buried under the office floor, which was covered by file cabinets and a safe.

The county gained title to these properties after owners failed to pay taxes. According to Sutton, the county has owned some of these lands from five to 40 years. Lands which may be of value for future county planning or highway purposes have been excluded from the auctions.

The purpose' of the sale, Gavin said, is to get county owned properties which are of no particular value to the county back on the tax rolls. Friday's auction will include four parcels in the Town of Ballston, one in Charlton, five in Malta and 11 in Malta. One of the largest properties is the house and land on Route 9 in the Town of Malta, formerly owned by Pauline Kulla. The smallest lots run about 150-by-200-feet, Sutton said, adding that the majority of the parcels do not include buildings. The treasurer pointed out that all previous owners were notified by certified mail of the sale 30 days prior to the auction.

Buyers will receive quick claim deeds. All lands will be sold provisionally to the highest bidder and the Board of Supervisors will reserve the right to reject any bids. In the past, lands acquired by the county at tax sales were held by the county for many years, officials said. Sutton said lists of available properties were given to supervisors and occasionally by word of mouth people came to the county treasurer's office to purchase such lands. Usually these were former owners, he noted.
