+" TO the Executive Committee on En-
tertainment of Atlantic Fleet.
Gentlemen: In order to carry out
the spirit of the resolution passed last
evening creating your committee, I
beg TO tender my resignation. 1 do
this in the interest of facilitating the
work your committee has in hand. IT
is desired that the active work of the
committee be centered in the business
district for convenience sake and
someone appointed as the head of this
committee who could devote consid-
cradle time to the work. With my
other duties I am not in a position to
regularly attend such meetings and
certainly not in a position to act as
the head of the committee
The action taken at the meeting
last evening impresses me as being
eminently sensible, and in the line OF
sending the work along. With the or
ganization as now effected there seems
no reason why rapid progress should
not now be made.
al beg to assure the committee that
every facility of my office is at their
disposal and any assistance I can rem
der will be gladly given. Yours re-
specially,
"'E. A. MOTT SMITH
