Adirondack summer resort tale in New York county order
Torn by forged interests and family ties, the report centers on Mary Hickey of Waterbury and links to Mrs Laura Hamilton, with contracts awarded by the county. The Adirondack vacationing sisters in law—Margaret Katherine Julia—are tied to a large but sparsely populated Salem area town, where New York State holds half the county’s assessed value. Towns affected include Arietta driven by a Democratic supervisor amid nine towns and one village, Speculator, the famed resort.
