RESOLUTION
The City Council of College Station records
with deepest sympathy the death on July 5 of
Mayor B. F. Vance of Bryan. Although his term
of office as Mayor was less than three months,
this Council had come to respect his wisdom and
capacity for leadership, and looked forward with
anticipation to an administration devoted to the
common interests of the people whom the governing
bodies of the two cities serve.
Mr. Vance was a man of rugged common sense re-
spected by all who knew him. His friends were
legion; his influence for good reached to the
far corners of the nation. The City of Bryan,
this community, and the State of Texas have
suffered an irreparable loss in his death.
As a further token of respect, it is ordered
that copies of this resolution when signed by
the Mayor and the City Secretary be sent to
Mrs. Vance and the City Commission of Bryan,
and a copy spread on the minutes of this meeting.
