Brunswiclss AGa., May 81, 1922
Hon. City Commissioners,
Brunswick, Ga.
Gentlemen:
Petition Mr.. T. w. Flanders for Re in
statement
Returning the attached petition
which was referred to me for investi-
cation and written report to your
Honorable body, | beg to advise thai
have investigated the matter and
find as follows:
D.. G. Coester, who is in charge of
mosquito control work, notified Mr.
Flanders by letter dated May 3, 1922
which l quote below
Your services in my department
in the fight against mosquitoes are
not needed any more after. May 5,
1922"
No charges are made by DR.. Coester
in this letter against Mr.. Flanders,
and he has stated to me that he did
not intend % make any charges
against Mr. Flanders. That during the
dry season he did not need any assist
ancc in taking care of the mosquito
control work, and to substantiate this
fact he has not asked for any help to
take the place OF Mr. Flanders. In
his opinion the money paid Mr. Elan
ders was a useless expense to the city.
He further states that he did have
cause for complaint against Mr.. Elan
ders on account of neglect of duty,
but did not care to make charges
against him. He has filed with me, in
substantiation OF this statement, car
bon copies of letters written to Mr.
Flanders dated January 23rd and
March 1st, 1922, directing him to per
form certain work which he had fail
ed to do up to the time he was rel;ev-
cd on May 9TH
Inasmuch as DR.. Coester has no.
asked for assistance since Mr.. FLAT.
dera was relieved, and inasmuch az
he informs me that he will not need
any assistance in this work unless the
weather becomes excessively bad, and
then only temporary employee, I 90
not see any reason for reinstating Mr.
Flanders at the present time in this
department. However. as J am in-
formed that Mr.. Flanders has been i'll
the continuous employ of the city for
the past several years, and has given
good services in time CT need, | shall
endeavor to give him employment
shoIld vacancy occur in any position
for which he is suited, provided he dc
sires it.-Yours very truly, g. n.
Granting, City Manager.

that an additional appropriation OF

of the police department for special
work.
