COMMENDING MR. LOUIS F. SNEDIGAR
WHEREAS, our friend and colleague, Louis F. Snedigar, has
recently been honored by the citizens of Dade County when they
elected him a member of the County Commission, by reason of which
he is voluntarily retiring from this Body, and
WHEREAS, throughout the past quarter century Mr. Snedigar has
devoted almost thirteen of the best years of his life to the service
of his City, having been elected four times by our citizens as Mayor,
two of which terms were from October 1922 until December 1926; one
term from December 1928 until December 1930; and another from December
1934 until June 1937; and having again been returned by our citizens
to public service as a member of this Council, serving two terms from
June 1945 until June 1949, and
WHEREAS, owing to our rapid and phenomenal growth he has
throughout this long period, been required to spend a vast amount of
his time and energy on City administration, all of which he has given
willingly and unselfishly, being faithful in attendance at Council
sessions and in the performance of his many and varied assignments
for the upbuilding of his community,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Miami Beach, Florida, that we do hereby express to our friend "Red"
Snedigar as he has been affectionately called down through the years,
our appreciation, also that of our citizenry, of the invaluable and
unselfish service he has rendered over so long a period for and in
behalf of his fellow man, and we further express herewith our sincere
and deep regret at the termination of our very pleasant association,
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we wish him every success in his
continued public service on the Dade County Commission, and we know
that we shall continue to have the benefit of his deep interest and
wise counsel in his present capacity.
