in the position that am, the respon.
sibility of the street department rests

oppose any other heads of various
! departments in what they have want

quest that the Council respect my
wishes in this matter AMI appoint
| the man that | have named.
/ emphatica1ly oppose the appoint

less responsible, and feel that as a
member of the Council he should be
