<br />As one of the elected representatives of the peoples 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 />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 />'
<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 />'
<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 therefor take great pleasure in submitting for appointment to the offic� of council-
<br />man of our fair city, the name of JOHN QUINN.
