Carried CO KISSIONER COTiLEY' S STATEr.EINT RE RESIGNATION JOSEPH S. BARR Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen of this Board: It has been the custom of this Board to express its feelings at the departure of a member from this Board, and to have record of such happenings appear in the Minutes of this body. I feel that we i�rould be remiss in our duties if T•re did not here make mention of the departure of Joseph Barr. Joe Barr has given nearly nine years of earnest, honest and unselfish service to the City of Ithaca. He could a.lT•rays be depended on to give his time to fully study any matter that could be of importance to the City. His decisions --ere alT•rays the result of good, hard- headed. thinking. He never gave any snap Judgements. Joe is the type of man that ma!-es the best members of this Board. Joe Barr has seen fit to T•rithhold his reasons for resigning. It is not my intention to nut 1•rords in Joe's mouth, nor try to explain his dena.rture. This matter T,ras T•rell taken care of in the editorial of the Ithaca Journal of last Saturday. The people that failed to live up to their -ord given to Joe and members of this '3oa.rd, have to suffer the agony of all public servants that do not live up to their T_rord. The present fine condition of the physical properties of the City, are not just casual happenings. The hard. *ork and ca.refull planning of Joe a.nO other members of this Board, are the reEzons of the good conditions of the streets, seTrers, ,rater, public par!7_s, creeks anO finances of the City. Careless spending and lackadaisical supervision could. soon cause a. raise of taxes or a lowering of the kind of public services nw,, given and expected. No transfer of these operations to the Common Council could improve these services. The City of Ithaca has existed for years T•rithout political interference in the City government. '.'e have progressed successively so let us keep it that ,,ray. I move that ',,re express to 1,r. Joe Barr by letter from thh Clerk, our deep feeling of loss at his departure, and our T•rords of appreciation for his fine and long service as a member of the Board of Fuolic 'forks of Ithaca, il.Y.

Gentlemen: Re. July 23, 19512 ca s ? As I am to at tend the Special Hearing on the above subject th s afternoc:n, I trish to present my ideas on this subjec - by letter. 221 BOARD OF PUBLIC VORKS PROCEE"DIITGS Page 2 August 7, 1952 I do not believe the City of Ithaca should treat its water supply 1�rith Fluorine yet.- I concede and am sure that fluoridation of Ithaca° s -t,rater supply T4ould help to reduce the incidence of tooth decay among the young people of Ithaca. This would be a note -orthy and, under some conditions, a Justifiable end. Hol +ever, treatment of young people's teeth to reduce the incidence of decay can be and has been done in other 1,rayg, These methods could be and, I believe, should be continued for another ferT years because, from all reports and studies T have seen or heard of, nobody is absolutely sure tha.* the fluoridation of public 'T-rater supply does not injure some of or all of the persons using that 1,rater in some other riay. Until there has been sufficient time for research and study on this possible injury, I do not believe Ithaca should treat i 'is water supply to prevent dental decay. Sincerely yours, s/ H. H.
