TO THE MEMBERS OF
THE CITY COUNCIL
CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS
Gentlemen:
Additional "Driverless Automobiles" are immediately
necessary to serve the traveling public which visits Corpus
Christi for business and for pleasure, and further delay in
the passage of this ordinance would thus be detrimental to the
general welfare of the citizens of this community. For the
reasons set out above and the reasons set out in the emergency
clause in the foregoing ordinance, a public emergency and
imperative public necessity exists for the suspension of the
charter rule requiring that no ordinance or resolution be
passed finally on the date of its introduction and that such
ordinance or resolution shall be read at three separate meet-
ings of the City Council; I therefore hereby request that you
suspend said charter rule or requirement, and pass said or-
dinance on the date of its introduction or at the present
meeting of the City Council.
Respectfully,
Mayor of the City of
Corpus Christi, Texas
