The honorable H. P.
and City Commission,
City of La Porte,
Ira Porte, Texas.
Gentlemen:
Pfeiffer, Mayor,
I respectfully submit my resignation as City Clerk of
the City of I,a Porte.
As you gentlemen know, all my past training and
experience has been in City Management work. Under the
Commission form of government which is presently being
practiced by the City of ha Porte, I do not feel that this
training can be utilized.
Since my life's work has been in City Administration,
I feel that it would be to my advantage to secure a position
in that field. At present there are opportunities available
to me, however, in order to avail myself of these opportunities,
I believe it is proper that I terminate my present employment.
It is respectfully requested that my termination be effective
on the last of February,. 1965.
I assure you that my association with the Commission,
and with my fellow employees, has been pleasant. I would
like to express, on behalf of myself and my family, all
courteses that have been extended to us.
,^ 'ncerely yours,
~+~ ~~~~
