The Saranac Lake village board is considering a proposal to give volunteer firefighters and volunteer ambulance workers a 10% property tax exemption in an attempt to attract more volunteers to the lifesaving organizations. The Adirondack Daily Enterprise reports some trustees supported the sentiment but were concerned about giving a tax exemption to the Saranac Lake Volunteer Rescue Squad, since it is a private company — not a for-profit company, but still private. The village will hold a public hearing on this proposal at its next meeting on Nov. 24 at 5 p.m. in the top floor of the Harrietstown Town Hall.
