During the past year my private practice and the legal affairs of the City have increased to the point where I find it impossible to give both my private practice and the City's affairs the time they both require. Therefore, I have decided in the interest of all concerned that it is advisable that I relinquish the City of Des Plaines as a client, and accordingly herewith tender my re- signatioh a s City Attorney for the City of Des Plaines to take effect July 1, 1942. I have had the privilegeduring the past nine years to serve under three mayors and a great many differedt aldermen. I can sincerely say that I have enjoyed my -contacts and association and cooperation with all the officials who were in office while I was Cit; Attorney. - It is interesting to note that since 1883, the City of Des Plaines has had nine village or city attorneys, and in the point of continuous service, nr term of service ranks third, Ning Eley having served sixteen consecutive years and C. S. Cutting having served ten consecXutive years. In the nine and a half years of my service, I have witnessed some very bitter contests on the council floor and also some very harmonious cooperation between the opposing political fanctions, and in the main, it can be truthfully said that the supreme effort of all councils has been in the interest and welfare of the City, and personalities and minor bickering has been subordinate. I extend to the present administration my sincere thanks and appreciation for their friendliness and cooperation with me and stand ready as a private citizen to assist you in any manner within ter ability. Respectfully yours, KENNETH G. MEYER, City Attorney The motion was made by Alderman Pflughaupt anc�000seto by the said resignation effective July 1, 1942.
