Councilman Orr submitted his resignation as a member of the council and
made the following statement in support thereof:
I have had tremendous interest in this city and still do. I
want to express my appreciation to the people of Ward 1 for
supporting me for over 25 years. I tender my resignation as
of this moment. My reasons for resigning are fourfold:
First, so that I may actively support Mr. T. R. Holleman for
mayor. He has had both educational and practical experience,
and has the ability to get along with people of all races.
Second, to help prevent the development of constroversy between
wards. A unified city is absolutely essential.
Third, so that a young energetic council member can be elected
who can help more effectively than I to unify the present council.
® Fourth, I have served with Mayor Langford for well over 25 years
on this council, and I know of no better time to resign than when
the mayor for whom I have the utmost respect and affection retires.

0 In accepting Councilman Orr's resignation, the mayor made the following
M statement;
I am sure that it is with reluctance that this council accepts
the resignation of Mr. Orr. If there is any citizen of the
city of College Station to whom this council owes a debt of
gratitude, that debt is owed to Mr. Orr, We will never know
how ;aany hours he has spent in checking out surveys, establishing
corners of property in dispute, surveying boundaries of extensions
of city limits --all of which he has done with meticulous care
and for which he has received not one cent of remuneration. His
wisdom and counsel will be missed in the deliberations of this
body.
On motion by Councilman Holt, seconded by Councilman Boyett, the remarks
of the mayor relative to Councilman Orr's resignation were made a part of these
minutes.
The mayor reminded the council that a special meeting of the council will
be held at 5:00 p.m. Thursday, April 7, to canvass the results of the municipal
election of April 5, 1966.
The council adjourned subject to call.
