               In the interest of improved telephone servlce
the New York Telephone Companyny is desirous of placing
telephone poles and cable with the necessary guy wires and
anchors along the Poughkeepsie- Hyde Park highway #453 in
front of the James Roosevelt and Rogers' estates. Before
proceeding with the work, however,we would like to
determine the feelings of the abutting property owners
regarding the project.

represent these estates, we are ,writing to request that you
get their opinions concerning the matter. While I believe

cooperation in this matter.
