2-a Mayor Johnson announced that this being the last meeting over which he would

"I appreciate being your Mayor - we have tried to give the people aggressive now
leadership with a vision of making a city for ourselves and our children, We have started.,
and I know our new leaders will continue. The co-operation of our leaders has been terrific-
the Chamber of Comerce and other civie leaders have worked with us diligently., and we should
all be proud of our paid City employees who are most honest and sincere and mindful of their
duties. All of the news media have been most co-operative., and I know all of them have been
most sincere. Even though at times we have differed.. it is my thought that all of us.. in
our respective thoughts at the time., were doing what we thought best for our City. We have
fought every fight when the people have given to us their mandate. I am quite positive
that our water problem will soon be solved and construction can commence on our new reservoir-
this should be forthcoming soon. The City is on the move--I am real happy with this fine
Council and new Mayor—the people are ver7 fortunate to have such outstanding leaders
representing them., and all are busy men in their own right, I am not saying that I an forever
withdrawing from public office as., being a lawyer., one certainly is interested in the roots
of democracy and to preserve it the way our forefathers intended. But for the time being,
I will devote my full time to the practice of law and now., best of luck to this new Council.,
and when the going gets rough, just smile,, be honest., and do what you think is best for
this City and its people--that's the way the people want it!"
