NARSHfELD CITY IL Special Meeting Held at the City Hall City Engineer Resigns.

Corey, of Marshfield relative to the value of the Bandon Water Co's plant, and the consideration of .the . resignation of City Engineer, P. A. Sandberg. Relative to the water system Mr. Corey made a lengthy report cover ing many pages of type written copy and which is now on file with the City Recorder The resignation of Engineer Sand berg was accepted and a wire was sent to another man whom the council hopes to hear from in a few . days. Meanwhile Mr. Sandberg has been retained for about 10 days to complete what work he now has under way. In tendering his resignation Mr. Sandberg submitted an explanation to the council which we publish in full as follows: Bandon, Oregon, January. 24, 1914 To the Honorable Mayor an'd Common 'C&uncil, Bandon, t5regonT,'' Gentlemen: I consider that my resignation -at this time needs some explanation and I therefor submit the following reasons to you. Some time ago, I handed Mayor Mast my resignaiion as City Engineer to take effect' the first of March. The reason for setting t' it date was that I considered it unprofessional to leave at this particular time with the improvements and assessment rolls unfinished as they are, and thereby bringing hardship on the contractors who will have to wait longer for their assessment rolls and pay. Since then it has come to mv knowledge, that some people have threatened to start to recall the mayor and sonie members of the Council if the En gineer was not got rid of, and as I have absolutely no desire to remain as City Engineer and further not wishing to be the cause of any trouble for anyone, I have decided to make my resignation take effect at once, and if any delays will result tfrom my action they must be blamed to somebody else but me. I will also take this opportunity to thank the Mayor and the Council for their kiudness and courtesy to me during my time in the office , of Cicy En gineer. Respectfully, P. A. Sandberg.
