To the City Council of the City OF
0ca1a, Gentlemen:
Since there has been some question
as to the eligibility of Dr. H. w. Hen
ry to serve as councilman for the city
of Ocala from the first ward, I feel
that it is only appropriate that there
should be some expression from me in
regard thereto.
The people of Ocala have very
clearly shown that they desire that
the policies as to the administration
of city affairs advocated by DR.
Henry, be carried into effect. While
] am still convinced that time will
show that my position was the one
best adapted to the interests of the
city, still I do MOI believe that any
technicality should be allowed to in
terfere with the people of Ocala hav.
ing what they want For this reason
| trust that Dr. Henry viii be declared
elected and be seated without any de-
lay what ever, and | promise him my
hearty support and cooperation in
the advancement of our community
Respectfully, A. A Winer
