Mr. Roy A. Scott,
Mayor, City of Fayetteville,
Arkansas,
Dear Sir:
Pursuant to our -conversation this afternoon,"I herewith submit
my"resignation'as"a member of the Planning -Commission of
Fayetteville to be effective as of June fist, 1957.
It is with feelings of deepest regret that I present my
resignation.'I have enjoyed the work very much but feel that a
younger man should take my place. There are a number of problems
that -have come up because of the passage of Act No. 186 of 1957,
and as these have a vital effect on Zoning and City Planning, I
feel that in fairness to the City of Fayetteville, the task
should be taken over by a younger. person.
I assure you of my continued interest in Fayetteville and
its problems and if necessary will act in an advisory capacity
when needed.
Yours very truly,
WH.Fryor

of citizens requesting the Council to change -the name of that portion of Highway 16

proceeded to other business while he was writing this ordinance.

Planning and Civic Association to be held in Little Rock, Arkansas, June 9,1.0,11, and 12,
1957. Mr. Pryor stated that the cost of sponsoring this convention would be $100.00 for
each Arkansas Group or City who wished to do so, and he recommended that Fayetteville
be oneof the sponsors.
Alderman Bissett moved that the City appropriate $100.00 as our share in sponsoring the
Convention as recommended by Mr. Pryor.
The motion was seconded by Alderman Lunsford and passed unanimously.
Mr. Pryor discussed the principles of Act No. 186, of the 1957 General Assembly of
Arkansas which is"AnAct to provide for the Creation of City Planning Comm&ssions in
Cities -of the First and Second Class and to authorize them to provide for City Planning
Zoning, Subdivision Control, and for other purposes"
Mr. Pryor explained that "Nothing in this Act shall invalidate any plana, ordinances, o
regulations duly adopted in -accordance with the statutes in effect at the time of adopt
No alteration or amendment may be made to said plans, ordinances and regulations, unles
in conformity of this Act which will become effective June 13, 1957.
