<br /> 'Weiss read the following prepared statement nominating John Quinn to fill vacancy of Councilman Britschgi.
<br /> As one of the elected representatives of the people, I feel it is my duty to heed public
<br /> opinion and sentiment. As I gauge it at present the people are desireous of a more diversified
<br /> representation on this council.
<br /> •
<br /> In connection with the necessity of filling the existing vacancy created by the resig-
<br /> nation of Councilman Carl Britschgi, I have no reason to question the honesty, integrity,
<br /> ability and public spirit of Mr. Ray Weymouth, who has just been proposed for appointment.
<br /> I do however feel that with only nine months having elapsed since our most recent mun-
<br /> icipal election, the logical step would be to choose one of those people who did make the
<br /> effort to seek election and who has breceived a considerable indorsement at said election,
<br /> in fact the next highest vote after the defeated incumbent.
<br /> I have since that time observed this individual, who notwithstanding his defeat at the
<br /> polls has not permitted his interest to lag. He has been one of the most faithful attend-
<br /> ants and observers at all our regular sessions, this in contrast to the lack of any
<br /> attendance by any of the others who have been considered for the vacancy. .
<br /> In so far as I can ascertain this individual is not representative of oru commercial
<br /> or industrial interests,. but is rather representative of that larger segment of our
<br /> pupulation we commonly refer to as the average citizen. I feel confident that his
<br /> honesty, integrity and civic interest is also beyond question, and that he would be a
<br /> valuable addition to our deliberative body.
<br /> • I theref or take great pleasure in submitting for appointment to the off of council-
<br /> man of our fair city, the name of JOHN QUINN.
<br /> .,, Councilman Spillers moved that the nominations: be closed, seconded by Councilman Stout. The Mayor called
<br /> for a roll call vote which each Councilman Voting be stating the name of the man he wanted for the new
<br /> •
<br /> Councilman. Ray VTeymouth received 5 votes and John Quinn received one vote from Councilman Weiss. Council -
<br /> man Granger moved that the nomination be made unanimous, seconded by Councilman Weiss and carried.
<br /> Councilman Spillers stated that he would like the minutes to show the names of the other people considered
<br /> for the job left vacant by the resignation of Councilman Britschgi and he so moved. The following were the
