A special meeting of the Board of Aldermen, Town of West-
lake, Texas, was held at Circle "T" Ranch Headquarters in Tarrant
County on the 8th day of February,.1958, at 2:30 o'clock p.m., pur-
suant to a call of the Mayor, written notice of which was mailed
to all of the Aldermen on February 4, 1958.
Present were John A. McGuire, Mayor, and Messrs. George
Harmon, Jr., Ben A. Zwald, and H. P. Thrasher, Aldermen.
The Mayor called the meeting to order and announced that
a quorum existed for the transaction of business. He further stated
that he had an affidavit from Mr. William L. McInerney stating that
written Notice of this meeting was mailed by him to all of the Alder-
men and the Mayor on February 4, 1958, and asked the Secretary to
attach it to the Minutes of this meeting.
The Mayor then stated that in the absence of the Secretary
of the Town he would ask Mr. William L. McInerney, who was present,
to act as Temporary Secretary, and take the minutes of the meeting.
The Mayor then stated that he had the written resignation
of John A. McGuire, Jr., the Town Secretary -Treasurer, who had sub-
mitted his resignation because activities required his absence from
the Town which he felt prevented him from carrying out the .duties of
his office. The Mayor then read to the meeting the letter of
•:
resignation, which upon motion duly made by Mr. George Harmon, Jr.,
and seconded by Mr. Ben A. Zwald, was unanimously accepted. The

Guire, Jr., be attached to the Minutes of this meeting. The Mayor
then stated that it would be necessary to elect a new Secretary -Treas-
urer of'the Town of Westlake and possibly that it would be advisable

after, upon motion duly made by Mr. George Harmon, Jr., and seconded
by Mr. H. P. Thrasher, Mr. Alfred L. Odom was unanimously elected
Secretary -Treasurer of the Town and Mr. William M. Moore was unani-
