Gentlemen: It is with deep regret that I must tender my resignation as a member of the Harnett County Board of Commissioners, to be effective October 1, 1975. I have reached this decision because of the time that is involved in serving in this capacity. Also with the economy being what it is, I find that I must devote more of my time to my personal business and therefore cannot give adequate time that is required to serve as Comm issioner. I would like to express my appreciation to the people of Harnett County for allowing me to serve. I would also like to thank the depart- ment heads and employees for their cooperation during my tenure of service. I hope that, in the future, I can be of service again to the people of Harnett County.
