I find it difficult to transmit into words the mixed emotions I'feel when attempting to eulogize our late fellow-workeir. Mr. Campagna began his work on this Council in 1935, and to you gentlemen there is nothing I could say that would adequately describe his unselfish devotion to his official duties, the 483 484 (LETTER CONT't.) faithful performance of which you have all witnessed since your respective elec— tion to office. The City of Des Plaines has lost one of its noblest citizens, measured by any standard it might choose to judge him by, this City Council has sustained an irreparable loss and his family has lost a husband and father whose devotion they alone know the measure of. To them we extend our deepest sympathy. In recognition of the esteem in which Mr.Qampagna was held and as a mark of respect to his memory, I hereby appoint Alderman Halverson, Napieralski, and Harm to prepare a suitable memorial to spread upon the minutes of our next meeting and a copy sent to the bereaved widow. Do any of the aldermen wish to speak at,this time? If not, I will entertain a motion that this meeting be adjourned until next Monday night, May 27th.
