 ''I desired another term in the council of Selma for two purposes alone. After the matter of the municipal ownership Of the water works was accomplished. an accomplishment in which I at least lent my every endeavoP. These two things were the paving of the streets and the erection of school house in the eastern portion of the city. Tn the paving of the streets I had already, as chairman of n special committed done considerable work and had given the subject much thought and study. About a month ago I was informed that l would be made q member of the committee on streets and lights. As a member of such committee I would have been able to continue the efforts alerady made to secure th's badly needed improvement for Selma. the paw ing of Broad and Water streets Upon the announcement of the committee at the meeting of the council and the refer ence of the matter of paving to this committee of which I was not member, it was plain to me that the dominating influences that prevailed in the body did not desire my services in this important project and hence as the chief purpose another term was beyond my power to achieve or assist in achieving. I deemed 1t but justice to myself to tender my resignation"
