This document, dated March 15, 1932, is an easement and right-of-way agreement between The William Bull and Sarah Wells Family Association, Inc. (the Grantor) and the Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation (the Grantee).
Here is a summary of the key terms and details:
1. Purpose and Scope
The Association granted the utility company a perpetual easement to construct, operate, and maintain a line of thirteen (13) poles (specifically numbered 17 through 22 and 62 through 71). This includes the right to install cables, wires, cross-arms, and anchors, as well as the right to trim trees to provide a five-foot clearance.
2. Location
The affected lands are located in the Town of Hamptonburgh, Orange County, New York, specifically along:
Campbell Hall-Hamptonburgh Cross Road
Lincolndale-Hamptonburgh-Goshen Road
Craigsville Road
3. Key Conditions
Relocation of Poles: The Association reserved the right to request that poles 18 through 22 be moved from private property to the adjacent highway. If moved during a scheduled replacement by the utility, the utility pays; if requested earlier, the Association bears the cost.
Usage Restriction: The line is not to be used as part of a "high-power transmission line."
Termination: The right-of-way ceases if the utility abandons or stops using the line. Additionally, the agreement stipulated that construction had to begin within one year (by March 1933) or the right would become void.
Compensation: The agreement was executed for the nominal sum of One Dollar ($1.00) and other valuable considerations.
4. Signatories
Hamlet S. Roe: President of the Family Association.
Robert H. Jackson: Secretary of the Family Association.
Notary: The document was notarized in Orange County on March 17, 1932.
