Lfr, George H. Clough,
Chairman of Board of Public 'Works ,
Dear Mr. Clough:-
It is with the deepest feeling of regret that
we are to lose your association with us as a member of this
Board.
It is most difficult to rive expression to our
feeling of admiration of your sterling qualities of leadership
and ability as demonstrated during the years of service with
us ; of the able and conscientious manner in which you have
handled the various difficult problems that have confronted
us during this period; and the ability you have displayed
In keeping perfect harmony among u€ during the many discussions
of important matters brought before us.
Aside from the actual business of the Board
we are not unmindful of the many valuable personal experiences
you have , at various times , related to us during and after
our regular sessions ; experiences that have been of great
value to us in assisting more clearly to a better judgment
of problems in hand.
Individually and collectively we extend to you
our hearty thanks and best wishes,
( John W. Owen
