To the Honorable City Council: The time has come that I must comply with the statement I made at special meeting of City Council April 22nd. 1920. In the presence of Coun cilmen Tefft. Marshall and Swindle. I also made this statement in my of fice May 3rd. 1920, in the presence of Councilmen Wiles. Marshall and Swindle.
