I have been offered a position in private business which has many advantages and which, in the interest of my family and myself, I have decided to accept. It gives me an opportunity to buy into private business and financial advantage which I cannot refuse. "June 1 will be exactly seventeen years since I started in as City Manager and leaving the City is a difficult decision for me to make. Soon after you took office last year you increased my salary substantially and for this and your many kindnesses I am deeply grateful. It has been a pleasure to serve under your direction, as your policies have been constructive and always in the best interest of Austin. "I feel that Austin has a fine city government and a most competent group of city employees whose friendship and help I value highly. The press and radio have been generous in their consideration of my work during the past seventeen years and I want to ex- press my appreciation to both. "To the Council and to my successor I offer any assistance they may call for and I will be available at any time. To each of you I express my personal regard and sincere appreciation for your help in many ways. I expect to remain in Austin and will certainly maintain my interest in our City and its problems. "Sincerely yours, (Signed) Guiton Morgan Guiton Morgan City Manager The City Manager expressed his regrets in leaving the present Council, and expressed his appreciation for the friendship of the employees.
