the Town Commission and the Town itself will be suffering a great loss
with the Vice Mayor .moving to North Carolina. He said that he had
worked with Vice Mayor Mumford on the Commission and felt that it
should be noted in the Minutes that her services were invaluable to
the Town; there never having been a member of the Commission more de-
voted to the welfare of the Town than she has been. Mayor Gilday stated
that he felt that it should be recognized at this time, as a part of the
minutes, that the Town and the Civic League, for whom he spoke as well
as for himself personally, wished Ruth and her husband all happiness
and good fortune in their new surroundings.
