Shultz, Mayor City of Martinsville Martinsville, Virginia Dear Mayor Slmltz: I hereby tender my resignation as City Attorney of Martinsville effective at such time as may be convenient to the City Council. In 1947 when I was first appointed City Attorney the position required only about one-fourth of my time, but with the continued growth and progress of our City its legal problems have multiplied until the position of City Attorney requires most all of my time. To retain the position of City Attorney means that I must neglect my private law practice, which I cannot do and be fair to the other members of my law firm. I take this opportunity to thank the City Council and citizens of Martinsville far allowing me to hold this position for almost eleven years. I shall always treasure the friendship of the members of the Council and all the City employees and department heads who have made my job such a pleasant one. I cannot close this letter
