Special City Election May Come In 30 Days; Council Thunderstruck When Brief Message Read, Without An Explanation By West Consternatioa mingled with regret Ust night when, like a bolt from the clear sky, the resignation of Councilman Merle S. West was read to tho city council at regular meeting. No explanation was gleaned from the brief message read by Police Judge Gaghageni "I hereby tender my resig nation councilman to take effect immediately. (Signed) "Merle West." Councilmen were dumb founded. Silence reigned for fully two minutes. Finally a motion was made by Council man Cofer that the resigna tion be accepted. Councilman Stuckey seconded the motion. Fully another moment of in tense silence elapsed. Finally one of the councilmen asked t "What would happen' if ' we did not accept the resignation of West?'!- , J. .... i - "It is only common courtesy that you should accept," re plied Judge Gaghagen. ' ."Fur thermore, there will have to be a special election to elect an other man to replace Mr. West, and should you not ac cept the resignation,, it would be a sort of hang-fire affair. The people would not know whether to vote to put West back into office or just 'what to do." , Finally the resignation was unanimously accepted. At his home last night West refused to comment on his resignation. "I am sorry, but that is the only statement I can give at the present time, that embodied in my formal resig nation." City officials stood almost as a unit' last night in expressing their regret at losing as val uable a man as West. West was generally conceded to be the best financier in the city council, and a man whoso hon esty and integrity was never questioned. He was' serving his fifth consecutive year on the city governing body when his resignation came last night. BETTER STREETS IS , BISMARCK ST.
