MAYOR COBB MAKES STATEMENT

"In retiring from the office of mayor, I want to express to the
residents of Purcell my continuing appreciation of the support
and friendship I have received from you while serving in that office.
I have served since May, 1948." Mayor Leo Cobb stated this week.

"We as a people and as a city government have faced many critical
problems during my term of office.  We have striven with all the
facilities at our command to meet those problems, and I realize
that the men who succeed the present officials will face many new
and vexatious problems.  I want to assure them however that as an
individual citizen of Purcell, I will support and assist them in 
every possible manner.  I have lived in Purcell all my life and
have a great attachment for this city.  I will always be ready to
do my part in working for a better Purcell.

Thanking you for the honor of serving, I am with great respect,
Leo Cobb, retiring Mayor."
