(See following page)
Yorkville, Illinois
June 6, 1949
As a member of the present Village Board of Yorkville,
as constituted since the first of May 1949, and as one who
served with those whose terms recently expired, I think it fit
and proper that in some way in a more lasting manner than by the
search of years of records, their service and appreciation of
that service be called to public attention.
And the new board having gone over the reports of the old
�Iboard, it is with that in view that I present the following
statement,ask that it be read by our Clerk, in this meeting
and I move that this statement �)e adopted by this Board,made a
part of the permanent record of this meeting, and that a copy
be sent to each of the officials named in the statement, and
I request that some mention be made in our official newspaper
of this action.
