BILL NUMBER:S864
Title of bill
An act to amend the highway law, in relation to designating a certain portion of state highway 19 in the town of Hume in the county of Allegany as the "Almond E. Fisher Memorial Highway"
Purpose or general idea of bill
To designate a portion of the state highway system as the "Almond E. Fisher Memorial Highway". The section of road to be named is the area between State Highway 19 within the Town of Hume from the Allegany County Line to the intersection of the Allegany County Road 3 in the Town of Hume.
Summary of specific provisions
It would amend the highway law by adding a new section 343-Y to read as follows: portion of the state highway system to be designated as the "Almond E. Fisher Memorial Highway". All the portion of the state highway system beginning at the Allegany county line in the town of Hume, and continuing southerly along state route nineteen to its intersection with Allegany County Road 3 in the town of Hume, Allegany County, shall be designated and be known as the "Almond E. Fisher Memorial Highway".
Justification
Almond E. Fisher was an officer who served in WWII, leading his platoon to victory in hand-to-hand combat in central France. During this battle, he was shot in both feet but stayed with his men until he was relieved and the ground secured. For his acts of heroism, he was awarded with a Medal of Honor and a Purple Heart. Upon returning to the states, Mr. Fisher became an active leader in many veteran-based groups throughout the state. After his passing in 1982, the town of Hume honored Mr. Fisher, his acts of bravery, and the service he had provided for their community. Because of his honorable service for the United States Military, and active role in Veteran's affairs, it is only proper that the state of New York recognize Almond E. Fisher by naming the designated portion of road, located in his hometown, after the hero he so proved himself to be.
